We have had problems in the past with these bugs but this year is the worst. I assume it could be the mild winter we're having. The ground and sides of my house are literally crawling with masses of them. In the past I have ignored them. This year there are too many to ignore. We have used orange oil and DE to no avail. The birds won't even touch them. There are just more in their place or it's not killing them. Does anyone have any advice?

Ck the post above. I've used Neem Oil to control them. It works well. Orange Oil & Garlic spray seems to deter them somewhat.
