To get rid of click beetles in the attic set a yellow container filled with water plus a little dish soap. The beetles will be attracted to the water and will climb in and drown.

Click Beetles are members of the Family Elateridae.
Click beetles and fireflies are both bio luminescent. Click beetles are equipped with two menacing "false eye-spots" on the thorax, and many are more than 1-1/2 inches in length. Tropical relatives of the big-eyed click beetle are called fire beetles and have bioluminescent eye-spots. One, Pyrophorus luminosa, produces "cold light" that is green and red, and is as bright as that of the more familiar fireflies. Its larvae, called glow-worms, also produce light.

I caught and played with these beetles when I was a kid. I do not remember if I ever got bitten by them.
The animals are:Centipedes, millipedes, Bark beetles, Click beetles, Wood borers, Termites, Carpenter Ants, Spiders, Snails etc.
Click beetles play dead when they perceive a threat. When the click beetle flips itself back into an upright position, a click is heard as the spine which it had notched into its abdomen is released.
well they are good at playing dead. they pretend they are dead for hours and hours to scare of predators.
