I don't think the pipes and design are very up to date, but the units are quite clean (or I'm led to believe this since ours is quite clean). Recently we discovered these small bugs keep roaming around our bathrooms. I keep seeing 1 -3 a week (crawling in the tub or on my bathroom floor), she however sees maybe 5-6 a week in her bathroom. The landlord claims that they spray the premise, so I am guessing these insects are coming from the pipes ( they must like humid areas). I attempted searching these small bugs online but the answers couldn't quite satisfy the issue. I found this site and it appears to hold a knowledgeable cast of users. I thank you in advance, and I hope you can help me solve this. About the pictured insect: I believe it has 6 legs 2 antennas on the front the pictured insect seems to be a baby, the ones we usually see are about twice the size. It's extremely tiny (measures about the, "L-I-B" in Liberty on the dime in length) and has a verrrry flat body. While it is visible, the colors seem to be almost a brown shaded shell, with light brown horizontal lines on it's darker bottom end. it has shiny shell (it doesn't look like a roach - nor is it sized like a roach, despite how I portrayed it in the pictures). I will try and upload pictures this week with a nicer camera (sorry for the grainy shots). This message was edited Jul 14, 2012 2:09 AM This message was edited Jul 14, 2012 2:17 AM |
