I've got a few of them already flying around...those gross brown winged termite-y bugs that swarm after heavy rains. My cat just caught a couple of them, which she promptly ate.

Haha I don't mind bugs at all. I will say that this is precisely the reason I bought a vacuum. Tomorrow with all the wings - thats gonna suck. My screens are COVERED on the outside. Some making their way in and my cats are useless.

Turn off your lights and they'll go visit your neighbors.

Usually I do but tonight I have to work and if I leave just my computer on - I get covered so I gotta leave the living room light on. Its a disaster in here now lol but ALL of my friendly spiders inside are very happy!

Closing windows if they seal tightly at the first sign of swarming helps greatly.

Shop-Vac them up and spray some aerosol death spray into the nozzle afterwards
