Forgive me if there has been a post on this already. I have clumps of these ladies along the ceiling in my basement. I think they are the Chineese kind. Any ideas about how to get rid of them? A good frost would probably help but the weather here is so strange, we may not get one 'till Christmas!

| 1. If you vacuum them up, their bodies really stink when they collect in the dust bag |

| 3. Info from the Extension Service |

This is what the entomologist at the Iowa Extension Service has to say: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/newsrel/2001/oct01/oct0108.htmlI vacuum them up when I find them, but I don't have all that many. |
