March 12, 201313 yr Normally live in drains - so make sure your water traps have not dried out by tipping water in the bathroom floor drains. Clean out all drains with bleach or hot soapy water. But they can also be breeding in plant pots or other damp areas. Panels around a bath should be removed to see if there's any wet areas or leaks.
