Question

there invading my house.

Answer 2

When I was a very young boy my Mom and Grandma would put them in a jar of Kerosene. We lived outside Phoenix.

Answer 3

not without individualy killing eachone in strange ways (that i know of)

Answer 4

Fossil Shell Powder / Diatomaceous earth.

It is a powder that scratches their body's armour, causing them to dehydrate & die.  It is safe to eat, though you shouldn't breathe it, yet it is only a tiny fraction of the danger to breathe that  industrial DE is!  We've used it on fleas & ticks.  It is really quite useful--& safe--but not safe for insects (not even good insects--so be careful how & where &when you use it!).

Answer 5

ya,,step on them

Answer 6

Look for something thats really hard in your home and just smash them. I've had some in my home. Its hard to kill them though but after a few times smashing them, their dead. There might be a little hole that leads into your home, they can also come through vents on the floor (if you have any). Just keep your house clean. I almost stepped on one so just watch where you step.

Answer 7

step on them

keep your house dry

use sticky traps (those are nifty)

close off entrance points...like sealing cracks and foundations
