Getting Rid of Kamitetep

Fortunately, kamitetep don’t bite or spread disease—but they are destructive and unsightly. Here’s how to fight back:

2. Remove Cases – If you spot them, pull them off surfaces and discard them immediately.

4. Control Humidity – Use dehumidifiers to make your home less hospitable.

If the infestation persists, consider insecticidal sprays or professional pest control.
