Wetas in the walls ... how to move along ?
 

Help .. in case there is anyone living in Australiasia .. any
suggestions for how I can remove Wetas from a internal wall (with VERY
small gaps) without killing them. I have removed (cutback) the method
of entry .. a beloved rambling Rose. Any help welcome .. they are a
little unnerving to find in the middle of the night !

Kiwigirl,
We wonder what wee wetas would want within walls?
Would wicked wetas wail wildly while wandering?
Well, wily wetas would be worrisome!!

I couldn't resist! Sorry not to be any help.
BTW........what ARE wetas?

They are really big, extremely creepy looking bugs...

"The weta’s place in the ecosystem is comparable to that held by
mice and other rodents elsewhere in the world."

They are NOT nice or cuddly little pets.

If I had too many around my flat, I'd prolly move. Which
shouldn't be construed as being excessively scared of bugs. But,
if you ever suddenly came across one of them in your kitchen
(they don't run away), you would prolly feel the same way. They
are especially creepy.

In terms of the original question see if you are able to email Rudd
Kleinpaste (the bug guy who used to be on Maggies Garden show) and get his
opinion.
