    The roaches. At least you know their true nature, not surprising to find them there and, in days of high frustration, one can go up and stomp a few for that crunchy sound of bug demise.

      Sounds like you’ve never had the misfortune of being somewhere with a roach infestation.

        Ive dealt with a few though, its not really as bad or as hard as most people think. Its just about being thorough and sustained, you arent going to get them all in one hit. It just takes a few months of regularly repeating the basics of bombing, baits and spray.

          It just takes a few months

          I would consider anything that takes months to fix to be pretty bad.

        Depends on the ambient temperature, no? I was under the understanding that roaches don’t typically fly in northern states because it’s colder.

          Just the fact that they can is enough for me to avoid them. Ain’t showing up with a thermometer to see if they decide to fly today 😔
