So that's what these little bugs are. I found two this weekend after leaving the doors open for a bit. I guess I wont be doing that now! Luckily I just took them outside on a piece of paper, but I'll know not to squash one for sure now.

So is there any treatment for keeping them out? I know the article said nothing, but I was thinking of spraying vinegar or something along my windows and door frames. Anyone know of anything good to use?

The only suggestion I've heard is caulk up any openings. I haven't heard of anything you could spray that would keep them away.

You can get one of those Riddex things from Bed Bath and Beyond that you plug into your wall. I think it emits some kind of frequency that keeps rodents, crickets, spiders, ants, and other bugs away. At least that's what it said. I got one as a housewarming gift and haven't seen any pests yet.
