Their travel through such unsanitary habitats increases their potential as disease vectors. It may be common in outdoor environments and enter a structure on its own, by crawling under doors or through other exterior openings. Since this critter often enters structures by walking in or entering through drains, applications of residual green alternative insecticides around building perimeters, in drain openings, or in sewer and storm system openings will help to control them.
