Did a little more investigating after comments on my original post. Went and looked in the floor drain and lo and behold was another one. Got that one out. now going to put a small wire mesh screen in there to keep them from coming up the drain. Not sure if they are coming up from it or if it craweld down in there. Will also put some glue boards in the room with the sump pit and floor drain and see if any more turn up. do not know how they make it up the 3-4 feet of vertical pipe to get from the septic system into the plumbing drain system in the house?

Does your basement floor drain have a natural drain flow out to the outside or does it go thru a to the septic tank or to a sump pump? I know some who build on a hill just use the natural slope for basement floor drains which eliminates the cost of a sump pump installation but allows snakes to enter the plumbing. Just a thought so I wanted to ask.
