Do you have a favorite way of getting rid of these pests without
having to call an exterminator?

I used to work in a pharmacy in NYC that had a damp basement. We had
water bugs that were measured in inches, not fractions of inches.

I was wearing hiking boots one day and I smashed a big one with my
heel. The cracking sound echoed across the basement.

When I lifted my foot the d*mn thing scurried away and crawled under a
pallet. Freaked me out!

I had one travel on a suitcase from Parris Island, SC, to Indiana. Must
