Just wondering what they might be. I've just grabbed/squished/thrown down loo another one and its several times I've found one of them in my home recently.

Its a worm of some description, about half inch long, fairly thick, looks like a squiggle when I see it up on a ceiling or dangling by thin invisible thread from ceiling.

I presume its something that gets in from the garden at intervals??

Easily dealt with - up on stepladder with kitchen paper towel in hand to grab it with and dispose of in loo.

But - yuk...

So - what is it and how do I deter these beasties?
