Cy-Kick CS is what I use on my house. It is very effective and it is less toxic then table salt!

I've had a few of those freaky looking things in my house as well. I think they come in when it's been raining a lot. I've been spraying the bottoms of my doors that lead in & out the house with Bengal spray. That stuff works better then any other bug spray I've ever tried. Boric acid powder sprinkled inside and outside around the house will help. If it's really bad, get a house bomb to kill them all. I got one from my dog's vet office. I also have a scorpion problem. My poor yorkie got stung on his little nose. :( I havent had a scorpion or a centipede in the house in over 3 weeks now, YAY!! (I also did other things like put Beneficial Nematodes in my yard along with Diatomaceous Earth)

Yes Scorpions! My husband's in the army and we are stationed in Texas.. I'd NEVER seen a scorpion till we moved here! I'm so dumb I didn't think we had scorpions anywhere in the USA! Now I know better :P The ones here in Texas arent poisonous though, they just hurt like a ***** if you get stung.

I always call in a professional. But you might try spraying all of your baseboards with something such as RAID. You need to do this about every 30 days.
