Usually they stay up there and don't bother anything, but when it rains a lot, they fly down the chimney and end up in the wood stove room - at the back door trying to get out! Ugh. I spray 'em every couple years to keep their numbers down.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-60086541103292810732012-07-23T13:02:30.122-05:002012-07-23T13:02:30.122-05:00Dear Rita, I'm glad that you said that you cou...Dear Rita, I'm glad that you said that you couldn't tell what you were looking at because I couldn't either!<br /><br />It's going to be such a treat to watch the house rise over the foundation.

A pity there isn't an easy way to release them. I like Hilary's suggestion. I catch and release all the insects I find indoors, however, I do admit that I have no qualms about killing cockroaches. A definite fear for me there so I do understand yours. <br /><br />Love and hugs,<br />Serena xoSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-20037063445631425282012-07-22T12:39:19.446-05:002012-07-22T12:39:19.446-05:00Spray a wasp with hairspray.

But my door to the outside isn't far away. It would be a bit harder for you to do that. I do that with ladybugs when they come around, too, but sometimes they get too bad (too many which is bad) and out comes the vaccum.<br /><br />Dagan and Leah's house's foundation is looking great so far. Amazing how those things start from nothing and end up being something. :) Can't wait to see the progress as the house is being built. Very exciting. :)<br /><br />Hope you're having a great Sunday!AliceKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027650364526343030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-86483195901161231622012-07-22T09:37:55.911-05:002012-07-22T09:37:55.911-05:00Ah, so now we get to see your true nature...

It is too heavy for the home so I have a 3 inch gap between the chimney and wall that lizards are getting into and welcome themselves into my home. Ugghhh...and yes one day the chimney will rip apart my house.Crack You Whiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071785490304845124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-29120382732780042522012-07-21T22:47:19.758-05:002012-07-21T22:47:19.758-05:00I'm not fond of stinging bugs in the house, ei...I'm not fond of stinging bugs in the house, either. I can understand your fear of them. I'm thinking that if you allow for a bit of air in the jar (a couple of tiny holes in the lid), and place it in the freezer for a little while, they'll go somewhat dozy/dormant and allow you to release them safely shortly afterward. You'll be long gone by the time the wake up. At least, that's my theory - which may or may not have any merit. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-62957830480588291402012-07-21T22:27:00.811-05:002012-07-21T22:27:00.811-05:00looks like foundation for Dagan/Leah's house? ...looks like foundation for Dagan/Leah's house?

I wonder why they don't get stung. If they don't sting or bite, I usually just let them alone...they will find themselves back outdoors eventually.
