Roach-like insects -
N I've seen these guys on hot summer days - on the siding of the house,
N deck surface, in the grass, and sometimes crossing the paved street. N Sometimes I saw them inside the house, near the attic and such. When N the hot season goes away, I never saw them again, till the next hot N summer days. N N At first, I thought these were roaches, but someone told me that these N are called 'backselders'(?), or something like that, and they look N like roaches, but live on the trees and like to be hot areas. I just N didn't like seeing them inside the house. N N Anyone have any info on these? What's the correct name for them? N Best way to treat them? If they are "box elder" bugs they should be relatively 'stupid' == can touch them and they might fly away. One of the easiest and cheapest way to get rid of them is to spray with a dish soap solution. The soap will clog their pores and they suffocate. - ¯ barry.martinþATþthesafebbs.zeppole.com ® * Things never "hopeless".
