Invading my house
We've never seen this guy before around here (Cleveland, Ohio) and he is invading my house, we find them in the bedroom, kitchen, family room, about 2 or 3 a week. I've seen him outside too. I'm so glad I found him here and have a name finally! I still have no idea how to get them out of my house or how they are getting in. Loreen

I'm not sure
I am in MT now, and I just started seeing the adults here last week. I did notice that there are large numbers of dead ones in strange places in the barn or storage sheds. I'm not sure what is going on because I never noticed that behavior in North Carolina.
As far as getting rid of them.....I would just scoop them up and throw them outside. But if you are looking for a better answer than that....try reading "Tips for Control" at the bottom of
this page
