Answers:
Grab a few and take them to your local hardware store or gardening center. They'll know what the bug is. Then do research on the internet to find out organic ways to get rid of them.

Most likely a centi or milipede. They can spray for those but they usually don't exist in large colonies so... just keep squishin!
Hairspray works great for killing most bugs.. specially spiders. it freezes them, then they lick there legs and body and then they die. Thats what I use when I dont have a can on Raid
centipede or millipede centa 100 legs milla 1000 legs.
well most likely there coming from out side. buy some bombs to set off in the house. put you animals out side or at a friends house. but before you bomb sprinkle seven around your house. seven is save for dogs and cats.
hope this helps
Centipede, millipede, or I wonder if you're talking about the "silverfish"?

These are harmless but their presence may indicate dampness. Among other things, they feed on glue and starch in paper and bookbindings.<br />
<br />
Eliminate dampness by checking for leaky plumbing, condensation, rising damp etc. Insecticides for crawling insects will kill them but for you a better idea might be using a "sticky trap". These can be gotten at most hardware stores.<br />
<br />
Sticky Traps: Glue boards are effective for many pests when placed along baseboards and in cupboards where pests frequent. Many insect pheromones can lure pests into the traps and capture them.<br />
