We have them here in Georgia, too. They're AWFUL. They keep turning up in our master bedroom and the adjoining bathroom, but we can't figure out how they're getting in. We've been gently but quickly swooping them up in a wad of toilet paper and flushing them, but they just keep right on coming in. So far we haven't had any that stunk, but maybe the toilet paper covered the smell.
I know a creature can't help it's appearance, but they are so UGLY! Eeeewwww!
What I REALLY hate is being in the bathroom, either taking a shower or potty-ing, and you happen to look up, and there's one on the ceiling right above you.
Please don't fall please don't fall please don't fall please don't fall please don't fall ....
