Dead or alive - ? :scared: I've never worked out when they are most active - we had two in the garage about 4 weeks ago (big bastards as well) but seen none since - I've got to the point where I'm gonna live in peace with them - they're too hard to catch and nothing but stamping seems to kill em'

Winter? What's that? Is it where I roll down the windows instead of running the AC at full blast?

Early mornings and evenings in the 50s and having to remove condensation on the outside of windows of the car in the morning before driving to work.

Apparently, fall is behind this year and the leaves have barely started to change color in the mountains in the west of the state.
