• Answer:

  Ya them pest can really spoil laying on the floor but i hope i can help you deal with them,As a rule there bite is as bad as a bee sting and that only being they are big enough to break the skin,So its not likely your going to get very ill unless you have a allergy to them,Now first off what is around your house that draws them in, They like moist dark areas under dead logs leaves that have set or even rocks and heavy things.But they are 90% water so they must keep a high water intake.Do you have a moist basement.Very wet soil outside that dont drain well.Theses are a few things to look at.IF you see a pile of leaves near the house get rid of them.Old logs or things of such near the house move it or rid of it.To treat you can purchase seven dust in 5 or 10 % to dust ouside of the foundation and along base boards inside.This pesticide works well sweep it up every week or so and apply new until you have complete controll.Remember to keep childrens hands away from that stuff.Its not deadly but any poison organic or not should be kept away from children.This dust is toxic to those little walking worms.Hope this helps and you get controll.
