Hey DGrinners thought I'd come to you for some help identifying some bugs that have infiltrated my home today and the spray I'm using is not working so I decided that I need to identify the critters to get the right stuff to off them with ;-)

Sorry for the crappy quality of the photos but these guys are really small and fast and I don't have a macro lens to get in there tight...and I was trying to take the pics really really fast :dunno

Anyway thanks for your help...

John

    You might want to consult a pest control service.

    I have a family of lizards that eat most bugs in my pool enclosure.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    thanks everyone...I'm calling pest control today ;-) Don't think they're silverfish as they're way too small, am thinking they are Springtails??

    Agree look more like springtails to me as well.
