Some people say they come in the new sod, I have no idea, but now I only see them on the driveway occasionally.
I know this is not what you want to hear, but do your home work before you believe someone who has something to sell to you.
If you're vacuuming live bugs, I'm sure they can find their way out of the machine. I throw the vacuum bag out of the house when I have to do that procedure.
