what eats them?


Not much of anything. They are a Chinese import that doesn't have
seem to have any natural predators here and they are thriving.

None of my chickens will touch them.

I raise Muscovy ducks, and they seem to eat them from time to time,
but don't actively pursue them.

I've heard guineas will eat them, but don't have any to verify.

I had the poor taste to find a log home charming. Unfortunately, so
do stink bugs and the endless cracks and crevices are a haven for
them.
