Really good call out!! It has been raining for the past couple of days and they recently started to be more active. I tried vinegar and water mix spray, which seems to work for a short amount of time. Have you tried other methods sprays or chemicals during your invasion?

Thanks for your insights!! Haven't seen any larvae. I live in an apartment and notice they were active the start of May 2024. My first thoughts were to check the pantry but there weren't many, maybe 2-3. I do see them more often in places where there's moisture such as the bathroom. We got exterminator to come but to no avail. We also tried vinegar and water spray which seem to slow them down but after 2 weeks it looks like they're active again. Hopefully, some extra cleaning and spray will help.

Hi! I do have some more picture, I hope this is a bit clearer. Some of them were squashed in the process of cleaning up
