Above all, don’t panic… but don’t improvise either. Don’t try to crush it or handle it with your bare hands. Here’s what to do:
- Pick it up gently with a jar or gloves.
- Store it in an airtight container, without crushing it.
- Call a pest control professional to assess the situation.
- Thoroughly clean the risk areas and fill any visible cracks.
- Move firewood or unused items away from the front of your house.
A careful gesture today means restored peace of mind tomorrow.
How can we prevent them from coming home?

- Seal cracks in walls, ceilings and baseboards.
- Install mosquito nets on windows and doors.
- Avoid accumulating materials around your home.
- Maintain regular cleanliness to limit potential hiding places.
A small gesture, and peace of mind is guaranteed.
