This appears to be a firebrat. Like its relative the silverfish, they can be nuisance pests, but seldom cause real damage. They thrive under damp/humid conditions, so lowering humidity should help. See http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/bristletails-silverfish-and-firebrats for other suggestions.
