    I found several out in my garden. Does this mean I have them in my house too? Ive never seen one (thank god). I keep a pretty clean house. But a few months back the landlord had one of those huge trash bins on wheels that a truck has to bring in and pick up. It sat right behind my house, between mine and my neighbor. Even tho it was for the Hurricane clean up, ppl were throwing thier house and kitchen trash in there. As it got hotter, the smell was horrible. They finally picked it up but since then Ive been finding them in my yard under pots, in the mulch and plants.

    How do you get rid of them in your garden? And if they are out there, would they be in here? :eek: :eek:

    I saw some in my garden one night when I was out with the flashlight but I haven't seen them anywhere else. I hope not. Dooley PS I just emptied all my trash out of the house. Ugh! Dooley
