I.abhor.roaches. We have a pest control service that comes quarterly to spray for bugs. Their policy is to spray outside the house only unless you have problems, then they will come inside. I have only had them come inside once in the last year bc I dont want my kids around the spray.
when i told the pest control guy that he sprayed some pesticide onto his hand and licked it to 'prove' to me how safe it is!)
Anyways, like I said, i have what some may call an irrational issue with roaches, probably stemming from the time when I was a camp counselor and I woke up with one on my face or the time when we had just moved into a new house and i woke up to one crawling on my stomach, and it ran to the headboard and DH hit it with a shoe and it splattered roach guts all over the sheets.
So, I am making a short story really long here, but I pick up on average of two dead roaches (always the big huge ones which people say are not the bad kind, but if they are in my house, then I think they are plenty bad) a day, and see maybe one live roach a day. The ones I see alive are almost always FTD ( that is Southern Nurse speak for fixin to die), but still, I dont want to see a single roach in my home ever. Living in the south, is that realistic? Should I have the pest control company come back and spray inside? When I called them to ask, they said they cant control them coming in the house, but they should die soon after they come inside.
I have lived in three houses in this town, all of them older homes, and all have had tons of roaches, which makes me think this town is excessively roach infested.
