Tiny black worm type things?
 

Just found some tiny worm/catepillar type things on the windowsill, perhaps 50 odd. They were about 2-3mm long. Oh and black any ideas?

Moved just like catepillars?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

Cheers Kwak!

Re: Tiny black worm type things?

They are only in one location?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

Nah not wooden.........although we are in the loft?

but no wood is exposed?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

if it was there would be holes every where, like some one has shot at it with a pellet gun

i second kwaks idea :D

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

Miss YC - does it make a difference? Will they be a problem?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

i am still tiny according to some:( SPLAT! EM!

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

depends how much you like bugs :p

I'd personally remove 'em while they're all in one place before they disperse, nobody likes infestations of any kind :shock:

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

I say splat em or spray em. either way get rid of em

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

They are alien invaders.They will burrow into you and make you pregnant.Then when the time is right they will explode out of your stomach and take over the world.

You read it here first folks.

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

Actually, just because I'm of a somewhat curious disposition, why don't you keep 'em in a jar or summat and see what they turn into and take a pic :D

(as long as they definitely can't escape, just in case what BikerBiggles says is true - then it may be a case of :smt068the blighters :shock: )

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

urm or a mouse or two leaving pressies

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

we got a small black beetle type bug on our window sills? like a tiny ladybird type bug? i just keep squishing them with me finger :) would like to know wat they are tho.

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

I know a good few people who should have been stamped on at birth.

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

Definitely unwelcome creepy crawlies. Get rid of em. Get em onto a piece of kitchen roll and flush em down the loo.

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

I say, take off.

Nuke the whole place from orbit.

Only way to be sure...


HTH

Things have taken a more sinister turn they are in the top drawer of the wifes chest of drawers - undie terratory. Seemingly only on the cotton stuff???

Pics attached, not of the undies of the worn things on the drawer.....not great photos but they are only 2-3mm each?

Mrs.H is in the shower now as she feels unclean!!! Sorry no pics!

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

They look like caterpillars. You sir, have moths.

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

+1

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

so just get rid and forget it? they are tiny though must be small moths?

I guess one came in last night dropped eggs and left us with caterpillars to look after like two kids aren't enough?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

oh dear - holes will now appear in lots of things...clean clean clean everything and once you have cleaned it clean it again just in case and get some moth killer stuff.

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

Eeeew.................get the Raid!

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

The whole drawer contents went straight into the washing machine, but none of the subsequent drawers showed signs of moths, how can I be sure they are only there?

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

all bugs start off tiny and i bet its those horrible moths with white heads that crawl everywhere :pukel: (don't get me wrong i like big moths but that particular species irritate me!!!!!!!!)

Lol!


Why did you not scoop 'em up and get rid last night when they were in one place on the windowsill :rolleyes: Now they'll be all over the place eek! rather you then me :shock:

Re: Tiny black worm type things?

I'd get rid, sounds like they have a lot of munching to do! :p

Re: Tiny black worm type things?
 

Could they be millipedes, they are black, about the thickness of match stick, about 1 inch long and have tons of legs. They same family as centipedes which are brown.
