camel cricket
They are not harmful, though I loathe them, as they tend to show up unexpectedly in the shower or basement and jump out at (or even on) me.

Best thing to do is to look for cracks through which they can enter your home and seal them up and try to reduce the humidity level inside (both of which are good for your house anyway). They are probably coming in from outside rather than reproducing inside your house, so extermination is not a great option (you can't kill off everything out there!).
