    OMG – I saw one of these run across the bathroom floor in the middle of the night(!) a couple of weeks ago and you’re right, it really was scary fast. We don’t mind if they stay in the basement, but we have to draw the line with movie ito the bathroom. Do they climb up on the water pipes? We may have to stuff some steel wool in the sink cabinet around the opening for the pipes.
    Keep up the good work – your podcasts great. Lots of info and lots of fun.

      I think putting steel wool by the pipes would be a good idea. Glad you are enjoying the podcasts. Please tell your friends!

    Caulk any openings in the wall or plaster them. Whatever works. That’s where they get in. I have thus problem too.
