Ps.Shame on me,but I've been leaving rice crispy treat wrappers,checkers,alot of dishes out,is that why they're coming in?

Answer 1

sometimes if the house is very new, as in just constructed, the bugs who were living where your house now is have been displaced and inevitably, come in from outside.

but yeah, you answered your own question at the end there. cleanliness=godliness

Answer 2

If you can catch one either alive or dead you can usually take it to your local exterminator and they can tell you what kind of bug it is and they give you the right chemicals to kill it or they tell you how to get rid of them.  If you just saw one, I wouldn't panic yet, there are often one or two bugs in houses.

Answer 3

Maybe you should throw your garbage out instead of leaving it everywhere. Call an exterminator who will come out every month to spray your house.

Answer 4

probably brought them from your last place they get in the electrics get an exterminator in before the problem gets worse
