My house has a dishwasher, the first one I've ever had in my own place. It's actually only a couple of years old and it's nice and quiet and probably pretty energy- and water-efficient.
It was also growing larvae...
My dishwasher has a filter in the bottom that's supposed to be periodically cleaned. I presume most dishwashers have a filter like this. I pulled out the filter, and it had little black larvae thingies on it and a bunch of white slime. I was so grossed out that I didn't even think to take a picture.
I had the owner's manual (and even if I hadn't, the model number is written on a sticker on the side of the door), and I had no trouble finding a replacement filter from an online discount appliance parts vendor.
Word from the wise: Check your dishwasher filter for larvae.

My dishwasher's filter had no larvae, but was clogged with calcium deposits. It cleans much better now; thanks for the inspiration!
