    Are they lathargic, wiggly, what? I found a live one today in my bathroom which is connected by a door to my bedroom closet. He didn't move for 15 minutes. I nudged him a bit and he just didn't want to move. I'm hoping he was just about to die from the poison...

    He could have just been playing dead. I guess 15 minutes is a long time to play dead though

    I was lucky enough to see a bug in the process of dying (I assume from the pesticides sprayed in my apt. several days earlier). He was on his back, legs slowly kicking. I put him in a plastic container and flipped him over right side up. he sluggishly took a few steps and rolled back over. He was dead a few hours later.
