Infestation
Found indoors at lights, around sinks, and doors frames. Outdoors they occur in mulch and flowers, often around doors and at lights. They readily fly and move from place to place. They usually do not bite or pinch people, but if handled they may!
Identification
The long pinchers at the tail are characteristic; they have short wings and short antennae. They are usually brown to black, some with banded legs.
Control
Use pyrethroid as a contact spray (you have to hit them with the spray); remove harborage near doors, reduce lights at night; cockroach gel bait may be effective.
