Ask Rick A Question


Insect ID

Rick Steinau of Ask the Exterminator says insect ID is the very first step to take when planning to treat for an insect pest. Have it properly identified. Collect the insect specimen, but put it in something that will protect it so you do not end up delivering it in unidentifiable pieces.

I have a large number of these worm like critters that look like a worm, and curl up when you touch them,into a tight roll. They like the moist areas of the basement. What are they?

Pill bugs? Centipedes?
