Getting Rid of Kamitetep
Fortunately, kamitetep don’t bite or spread disease—but they are destructive and unsightly. Here’s how to fight back:
-
Deep Clean – Vacuum rugs, closets, upholstery, and hidden corners. Dispose of the vacuum bag right away.
-
Remove Cases – If you spot them, pull them off surfaces and discard them immediately.
-
Seal Entry Points – Caulk cracks, gaps, and window frames to block egg-laying sites.
-
Control Humidity – Use dehumidifiers to make your home less hospitable.
If the infestation persists, consider insecticidal sprays or professional pest control.
