Does anybody know how to trap them for release? I don't want to harm them. They hide in dark places and under things, so snatching them up is impossible.

Yes, they eat bugs. But they also poop, and I paid a lot of money to have my garage floor finished.

Having lived in Florida for 16 years, I have devised a system that works for me. I use a clear plastic microwave cover and a circle cut out of card stock paper that is larger than the cover- stiff but still slips under the plastic cover. I plop the cover over the critter and then I slide the circle under the cover, flip it over, making sure there are no gaps for it to jump out and then deposit the little one outside.
