Hi sunshine,

can you describe them a bit better! Are they black?

If they are the black millipedes I'm thinking of don't play with them too much -))) They produce a terrible stench .......

Happy hunting !

Hi,

If they're inside they might be silverfish, they move really fast then scoot behind pictures or furniture.
