Well, good to keep them around then.

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Very much so but people often kill them for looking nasty. When in reality they totally depend on humans to survive. And provide nothing else than benefits to us. They need warmth of our homes and very specific climate. They can't survive outdoors.

i mean, inducing a panic attack isn't very beneficial

By their nature they won't actually eliminate an infestation. They are territorial so they won't ever have the population numbers to eliminate populations of other bugs. They are, at best, an indicator that you need an exterminator soon.

I don't think they are an indicator for an infestation. At least not where I live.
