never seen such in my life and i am not particularly clean. girl check yourself oh

Abeg it's not about clean. I clean my house everyday. I've checked everywhere to know the source but seen nothing.

I killed that one close to the doorpost in the night. I got angry and decided to bring the topic here so I know what I am facing.

Everyday I kill like two of them, especially at night.

Who knows the name of this insect? They are all over my house. They crawl on you, crawl on the ground especially in my sitting room.

It smells so bad when you kill it. How do I get rid of them?
They are giving me hell.
If this can be in your house, watch out for scorpions.

whatever it is, am sure sniper can eliminate them.
get the insecticide called sniper, apply to all corners in your room and allow the room doors&windows to stay closed for like 5hours. then ventilate room before you go inside.
repeat every fortnightly or when you notice the insects are back again.

Re: What's The Name Of This Insect by desgiezd(m): 10:03am On Feb 13, 2018
Buy DD Force and allow few drops in the corners and behind chairs (generally, places beyond the reach of children), of your living room, the scent/smell of the liquid will fill your living room and they, along with cockroaches and other insects, will all die. You can also apply it to your rooms.

Be careful how you handle it because it is poisonous. You can apply it every other day. Do not let it drop where children can reach the droplets.

For added effectiveness, you can mix with kerosene.

It is advisable you apply it when the entire family are about leaving the house for some hours.

Once it was crickets, now this!!! I do not know what they want. I went to the market and bought insecticide and miraculously they stopped coming.

Only for me to see this one again. My mom and I are seriously contemplating relocating from here. One insect to the other.

We clean our house, no kids in the house to dirty everywhere. Just the both of us.
