Our cats love them! Anyways, they are pretty cool looking and fun to watch scurrying about.
They eat cockroaches
I used to hate these things. Then I heard they might eat bedbug eggs. We are now BFFs.
They do? Wow! If I find one, I’ll let he/she sleep with me!
I’m impressed she caught it. Those things are FAST. We saw one in our house once. The next morning we found it drowned in the cats’ water dish.
I love how clean my house smells after I drown one of these fuckers with an entire bottle of windex.
I wish you guys were more active! I love your site!
We post new letters daily. How much more active would you prefer us to be?
I take these outside and find the easiest way to do that is to gently nudge them with a broom until they are in the bristles then quickly take outside. Small ones can be put into a curved vase (they can’t get out) and brought outside but the large ones are hard to get into any container that they can’t get out of quickly (and without injuring their legs). I found a huge one the other day and got it out easily with the broom.
Thanks for the tip.
These guys are fantastic! I had them in the old garage and they kept a bunch of the damaging insects at bay. If you find them in your house it means that you have other insects for them to eat inside.
Yep, creepy looking and fast, but beneficial. They don’t like light, but eat almost any other bug that can damage your home or you.
Omg those things are SO FAST!!! Had one in our house once. The next day I found it in the cats water dish.
They kill/eat spiders…
why kill it 🙁
I’ve had 2 in my house. Both scared me half to death. First was dead in my shower. Now I check my shower throughly before I get in.
I found one of these in my house in Indiana years ago and it scared a squeal out of me. I went to the library (this was pre-Internet), and looked it up. Good bug! Vowed I would pat it on it’s little head next time and say, “Good job!”
