I just saw my second roach in the house tonight (we get the house sprayed regularly 😳). The first one I squished to death, and the second one was in the tub so I poured 1/2 a bottle of bleach on it before I turned on the faucet to wash it down the drain (it was still alive 😳). The drain is closed and there’s bleach and water in the tub now.

I may never sleep again.

Calls will be made in a few hours.

I've lived in the south for so long I know that no amount of spraying prevents the occasional American roach aka tree roach aka palmetto bug from coming in, but they usually end up legs up if inside too long.

It's the small roaches (German, etc) that'd make me lose my shit if I saw them inside.

@Agatha The first roach I saw tonight was smaller and lighter in color, so I think it was born in the house. 😳😳😳😳😳😳 The second one had obviously crawled in from the outside through the pipes. The roaches got really bad here in Charlotte last year, and clearly that’s still going on. I’m on one of those pay monthly programs with a pest control company.

Every single roach makes me lose my shit. I hate those things so much.

But, I know what you’re talking about with those small ones.

@LindaGoodliffe

Has it been dry where you are? They'll come inside looking for moisture. I've had them fly in (unintentionally, I think) through the doorway.

@Agatha No, it’s been raining for months. We’re all so sick of all the rain and mud. 🫣

@LindaGoodliffe

Oof. Maybe that's driving them in or it's causing a baby boom. 🤮

@Agatha I’m leaning toward a baby boom. 🫣😳😳😳
