I'm sure that this has happened to someone before and seeing as how I'm an amateur and all that I was just wondering if I should be concerned about anything? Do they do any damage? Will they eventually die? Will they breed? Any help would be most appreciated.
Me and my fiancee are going to do a quick sweep of the basement to see if we can find a couple. We are just worried about long-term consequences for our mistake.
They will not breed unless you have a warm damp trays of sand laying around your house :P There's really nothing to be concerned about, they'll die eventually. If you're grossed out by the thought of them being alive in your house you could lay out some glue board traps in dark places. You can even bait the glue boards with food.
