Anyone have issues with these little guys? Been at these apartments for a couple months now and tonight removed like a dozen. Am I missing something. Why are these guys all of a sudden coming out.....or I should say in.
These are the guys that curl up when touched. Not the cousin like centipedes. I remember a stormy night in Hawaii a bright red one, about 8in long came running in. I screamed liked the little 7 year old boy I was and my mom cut the fooker in half then I screamed even more seeing bith halfs take off I different directio s.
You're talking about "doodle bugs", "pill bugs", and/or "rolly pollies". They're not really dangerous, and as far as I know there's not "spray" for them or anything. You just have to catch them and throw them out.
A few years ago when I was in my apartment there was a month long span where I was constantly finding those little black short millipedes (i'm guessing that's what they were). I fogged the place a couple of times but it didn't do any good since they were coming in from the outside ...I would see them on the building walls going up.
are you talking about rolly pollies? or millipedes? 2 different things. neither poisonous. rolly pollies you will never be able to rid yourself of them. I used to live in some apartments on the Bayou next to the beltway I'd seriously vacuum about 50 of them up every month or so. My advice. I have none. I used to play with them as kids. They're like ladybugs in the sense that even non-bug people (like myself) shouldn't be bothered by them.
Lmao. No. Not rolly pollies. Millipedes. About a inch long. Very skiny with crazy amount of legs that roll up when bothered. I was finding one every other minute. I'm not bothered by them. I just pick them up and toss it outside. Wife on the other hand wouldn't sleep......hahahhaah
Now that you mention it, this one comes from South America too. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ps82VSoLQY4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Got 'em in my house too. Small, fuzzy looking ones. I used bug spray around the baseboards and that got rid of a lot of them but I still see one every 2 or 3 days.
