This morning I have hundreds of insects, look like little centipedes or a variation of silverfish climbing up my walls and getting inside the home, not noticed this before, is this common and how do you stop this ?
They often appear after wet weather and are the equivalent of the UK worm as to the good that they do. Leave them alone, they will go away of their own accord and cause no harm, or they will die. No need to kill them.

They are called Janus Terrestris.(Google Spanish Millipedes, lots of pics and interesting write ups)
Just pick them up and put them out, I've got dozens, they live on leaf mould etc and don't bite. Once it dries up they go away..
