You need to defeat dampness.
You go, it happened, in the toilet in the evening, turn on the light, and there, right in front of the tank sits on the floor itself something small, vague and extremely frisky! It looks at you with his tiny eyes, frighteningly stifles the mustache and declares all over his kind that all this tile with numerous slots now belongs to him. What kind of creature is and how to get rid of it (if suddenly it is very necessary).
And who is "scappy" and where she lives
That looks like.
"Sugar Scappy" or "Ordinary Scappy" (Latin Lepisma Saccharina) is a small insect, rarely growing up to 1.9 cm long. Most often it has a body within 0.8-1.2 cm. Contrary to the popular misconception of the scaper is not at all many-digging, but insect. You can find it on the characteristic mustal and head. Presumably the insect fell to us from tropical latitudes. In the wild, they live under stones, spins and fallen foliage. Adorable dark and wet places. Lead a nightlife. Once in the light, try to hide as soon as possible. Move is extremely tightly and quickly, however, they make small stops between the "Functions".
Lives in cremes.
It feeds on the scales of vegetable origin in which there are starch and polysaccharides. "Diet" insect may consist of very unexpected things, including glue, book binding, toilet paper, flour, sugar and even exhaust particles of human skin.
Now about the main thing - is it dangerous of the scappy for a person? Scales do not show to man as such any interest. Do not bite and do not try to do it. In history (and for numerous contacts with this insect), not a single fact of the negative impact of the scaper on human health was revealed. Insect does not tolerate diseases.
The flavian apartments are most common in the bathroom and toilet, where most of the time is dark, warm and humid. Hide in the cracks.
How to deal with scaper
If such "cohabitants" do not like you, then it is effectively fighting with scales with one single way. Namely - eliminate the reason for their appearance, high humidity. Check whether the pipes, crane and mixer flow. Most importantly, make sure that the ventilation works as it should.
The scales are fruitful with an extremely small population, live long, but if eliminating the reasons for their appearance, very soon they will leave your apartment, "move" to warmer, wet and not sunshine.
