I cut down a standing dead maple today and I found a large amount of what I think are wood roaches. I'm in NW Pa though and I thought those were southern bugs? Also, should I take this stuff home or leave it be? I'll try to get a pic.
They get up under the bark, but will scatter when you pick the wood up. I bang the splits together sometimes if the bark is loose, and they bail out. If one does happen to make it in the house you can trap it under a jar, scoop it up with a post card and dispose of it outside. In you wife's eyes, this will demonstrate your manliness for catching the terrifying critter, and your compassionate nature for releasing it back into the wild.Anything that looks like a roach will cause my wife to freak out.
