Has worked for us...be sure to spray along between your foundation and grass. They love to hide in crevices.

Is the place to go. They have a spray that is a bit pricey but will last all summer. It’s the only thing that works. You will have to apply more than once

what i use

i just use dawn dish soap and water in a spray bottle. it works really well and then it helps wash the house off too. i find it safer and a cheap alternative to chemical sprays.

Can you use dish soap and water inside your home? I have so many of them ... I try to kill 20 a day

Yes a spray bottle with water and a good amount of dawn dish soap mixed in. Spray directly on them. They will die within minutes. Use inside the home. You can also vaccum. Do not squish them as that attracts more.

Dish soap

Sunlight should work. As long as the soap is a good grease cutter. It breaks down the coating on their shell.
