Centipede. Not that dangerous, but still a pest.

Answer 6

no it's not. But you should try to look for where they are coming from and if they have breeding spot. It's some sort of centipede or millipede.

If that doesn't work, try a bug bomb or spraying.  

Answer 7

All I see is a blurry image, but maybe a centipede of sorts?

It looks like a centipede. Go to Home Depot and pick up some bug spray! They also have bug bombs if you have a lot of them. Might as well kill everything at once, right?

Answer 9

it looks like a centipede.

It is dangerous

Some species of centipedes can be hazardous to humans because of their poisonous bites. Although a bite to an adult human may only be painful, those with allergies that are similar to that of bee stings and small children are at greater risk.

This bug  is called Mortus Verta Livea in Latin.It is commonly found in the Mongolian steppes.The Mongolian tribes use to tip their arrows with the poison coming from the belly of this bug.One bite and a full grown man could be dead within minutes,hence the name Mortus meaning deadly.Verta means gross.Livea means slimy.Best way to get rid of them is by stepping of them very hard with your Kodiaks,just in case.If you are more humane then go to your local garden centre and buy insecticide.Check for moisture in your basement,they love it.Get rid of moisture,they won't come back.Wanna gross somebody out?Throw one in their coffee mug.Otherwise they are absolutely harmless.
