I've been staying in a rented house for more than 2 years. Lately I've noticed that spaces between tiles have lost its grout sealer, so tiny earthworm come out of it and I have to sweep them off into outlet. If I have to repair it, it is not my house. Does anyone know how to treat this floor. I've used carbol that can kill the germ but not this insect. They still come back.

I have ceramic tiles, but I have never seen this kind of problem. You can seal the spaces between the tiles.

I thought so. I will use cement to seal it.

Yup I had this problem too, the work is black in coLor, sometimes dark maroon and quite long thin. Right? I just sweep them off But 8 noticed they hated soapy water. Try scrubbing with it

I think a good tiler would be able to seal those spaces between tiles using white cement and wiping the excess that goes to the tiles with a wet piece of rug, saw it done in our house once
