I've found these too but have had no luck finding out what they are. The ones that I find are dead and curled up and are generally under where a house spider has built a web under furniture in my little used living room. They are brown, thin and are probably only an inch long. I'm worried that they may be associated with wood borers. We live in an old house with wooden floors and most of the furniture in my living room is antique wood. I don't find them anywhere else in the house.

They might be just plain worms. We live in a new house in Southern California, and have experienced the same thing (small little brown worms that are curled up and dead/dried out when we find them) as we did last year during cooler weather season has arrived. I was able to find a photo and detailed information about our little guys on the website below. It turns out the ones that we found are harmless millipedes that come in from outside through spaces under doors, etc., and die within 2-3 days due to lack of moisture. Have a look at the info in the following website from the University of Wisconsin for how to control. You'll be glad to know that this is not a mold or sanitation issue - just a pest that has to be dealt with.http://www.uwex.edu/ces/wihort/gardenfacts/XMillipedes.pdf

They could possibly be maggot larvae.

I live in Santabarbara Ca and i just found a little brown worm in tub. I will take a picture.
