I am waiting for Claudia. A roach at home.

Good morning, friends. Today my morning has been full of work. I got up to the bathroom and there, near the door, I found a cockroach. YUCK!!! I jumped over it, peed and did not make any noise except the noise of me washing my hands. Then I went to turn off the alarm and then for the Raid spray. With it I more that sprayed the roach, I soaked it. So now my room and the bathroom have a horrible Raid odor. But the cockroach wiggled and died. And there it is. I´m waiting for the spray to dry before I pick it up and throw it away. And I opened all windows to let the awful smell out before it would kill me too. Once in a while, not often, a cockroach enters my house. I´m glad it is not often because I prefer a brown recluse to those horrible black bugs. I have had stories with them elsewhere and there are places where people have to fumigate all the time as they even get in the pantry. This is one day where I will be happy to be out with Claudia so that she can smoke. I can understand that the roach died with it. See you later because now I´ll go and make coffee for us.

We don’t have cockroaches here thankfully. I have heard of a few homes having them but the families were living in absolute filth. It’s strange even in those conditions where do they come from to get in their homes if it’s not something most people have around here.Why not just squash it instead of hitting it with raid?

I hate those horrible things. I have never seen one here, but I have traps under the sink and in the downstairs bathroom, just to check if there are none around.

I have never seen a roach trap here. But I prefer to kill them with a spray as I will not have to touch them

We've never had a roach here; but we get field mice in the house every year at the same time. Ewwwww! I hope you are having a good day.

I'm really scared of cockroaches, especially the flying ones.

I am more disgusted than scared. I know that they don´t do any harm to human beings but I still find them revolting.
