The best way I've found for controlling them is glue board traps with a tiny dab of peanut butter in the center. |
We got them too - esp. in the crawl space under the house. When I have to work under the house, I've learned to place a halogen work light at the opposite end of where I'm working - they jump towards the light and *sizzle*. I use a regular LCD lamp at my end - cool & dimmer. Otherwise they bounce off your face!
And that hurts!
