Them and millipedes are allowed if AND ONLY IF they stay either out of sight or up in the corners. If they crawl across my bare foot they’re done.
I went away for two weeks once, and afterwards went to the unfinished portion of my basement at the time to find the aftermath of an absolute warzone. Some yellowjackets (I think) had burrowed their nest through the wall, and there was an epic battle between them and the cave crickets (of which there were WAY more than I had thought). There were dismembered corpses absolutely covering the floors. And from what I could tell, you know who seemed to be the victor?
The millipedes. There was ONE millipede body amongs the masses of cave crickets and yellowjackets. And each of the others weren’t eaten, just ripped in half.
For the next year, we didn’t hear or see a single cave cricket, and that entire nest of yellowjackets was just… gone. But the millipedes… they flourished.
