Usually found if there is a garden or plants in the house – especially in balconies or verandahs under pots etc. May infest basements and other damp, dark areas in the house. They cause no harm apart from emitting a foul smelling fluid, but can be confused with centipedes.Found in dark, damp locations with abundant organic matter (food).
