(WJW) – As temperatures drop experts warn that several ‘unwelcome guests’ will soon try to make their way indoors — if they haven’t already.

These black and orange insects are described as a “ harmless nuisance .” Experts at the OSU Extension said they love to congregate on sunny walls and while they may enter homes by flying through open doors or windows, they most commonly come in through cracks and crevices.
