I have about a ton of june bugs or new world scarab beetles outside my door. They end up upside down in the AM
Answers:
Most pesticides attack the the insects' nervous system. Their legs twitch as they die, often landing them on their backs during a bout of spastic maladroitness.
Once on their back, they cannot right themselves due to the degradation of their nervous system.
This also holds true for bugs reaching the end of their 'lifecycle.' The nervous system is the first thing to go.
Hope that helps!

normal life cycle! They spend most of their life undergroud and only come up to mate before dying. They've got less than 12 hours to surface, mate and (females only<G>) lay eggs before you find them in the morning.
Your landlord can use granular lawn insecticide in April or May to keep them from disturbing your mornings.
