Sorry I didn't explain that better, but I thought the site I gave you did. They hide under rocks, wood, the rinds, etc during the heat of the day. It's up to you to dispose of them in the trash. They're slimy, so shake them into a bag or something to dispose of. Yuk! The beer they drink and drown in. Double yuk!! I don't have beer in my house either but purchase the cheapest bottled stuff for this. :-)
