Avoid squashing them. Instead:
- Trap the bug using a glass or jar
- Slide a piece of paper underneath
- Release it outside, away from your home
Alternatively, you can vacuum them—just empty the bag promptly to prevent odor buildup.
What Not to Do
- ❌ Don’t crush them
- ❌ Don’t overuse chemical sprays indoors
- ❌ Don’t ignore repeated sightings
