Signs you have them

Why it matters
They don't bite or damage the house, but they come in by the thousands.
How we treat it
Inside and outside treatment with a granule in beds, plus treating moisture sources: HVAC drain lines, sinks, windows, and gutters.
Prevention

- Let potted plant soil dry between waterings
