cockroach massacre

over the past couple of weeks there had been a few instances of roach attacks in our house. while i was away in san francisco i got a call from jorge saying, "um, we’re gonna need to bug bomb the house when you get back. i had a roach crawl across my lips last night as i was sleeping."

what? are you kidding me? i thought to myself, "thank god that happened while i was gone." but then after i had returned and gone to bed on my first night back home, i was accosted by a cockroach in my sleep as well! it was UNDER the sheet and hastily making its way UP my leg.

i made a call to the bug guy the next morning. he came out yesterday and sprayed his magical killing juice all along the perimiter of the inside and outside of both houses.

so this morning, jorge asks me to come outside and see the frickin’ cockroach massacre that is in the backyard. we walked around as he counted each roach, some of which were still twitching on their backs, living out their last seconds as hideous pests.

i think we counted almost 60 of them. and that was just half of the backyard. it makes me wonder how many we’re going to find them inside the houses and WHERE! blech!

oh yeah, and i forgot to mention that the night that the roach crawled on my leg was also the night before the morning when the rat crawled across the beam that was over my head while i was outside.

Look under you sink. The posion make them look for water.


Everytime they spray at work it looks like they used the drinking fountain for a ritual bungie jumping platform with not bungi cords.

FYI never drink out of a fountain in a 50 year old building....

How nice.... or maybe not !!! You be glad you only saw the rat outside - I once had one inside my kitchen, really disgusting !!! However, my kitchen was probably the cleanest kitchen in the world, until the rat was dead and gone...
