Anyone else have these? What did you do to get rid of them?

Came home from work today to find hundreds of these on the front of our house. Read online that they do not bite and are not poisonous...just pesty.

Call an exterminator. Quickest, least painful way to deal with any infestation.

gather them up, they may be worth millions....the DNA from these bugs are derived from pre-historic larvae.....you struck gold.

Why not just wait a week or two for it to get below freezing and they'll all die.

I think I have termites. I've seen them around town, and in my back yard. Should I be scared shitless?

Deep fry them; not as good as cicadas, but often overlooked.

I prefer mine heated in a skillet, on a stove. But I will also eat it cold.

Exterminator. Only way to be sure they all die. They typically live in trees (I forget which kind) and when it gets cold they move inside people houses. They are completely harmless (and retarded), but very annoying.

Dont wait for it to get below freezing though. Thats when they all move to the warmth of your house lol.

Ask Auto, he's really smart (lolz/sarcasm). He can probably get them out of your yard with his smugness.
