    Oh yeah, they multiply like crazy and the larvae stage can stay dormant in their cocoon thing for months and months if there is no food, and then pop back out to say hello! So it's good to get rid of them for sure!

    Glad to hear everything worked out. I've heard of quite a few folks destroying everything in their tanks while trying to exterminate. Its best that you caught them before they multiplied because 10 will turn into thousands. What kind of bombs did you use?

    We hired a local company, famous IN RI and mass for the "Big Blue Bug"... They actually fogged the house instead of "bombing it. Does the work without the cost lol.
