So I've been seeing a lot more palmetto bugs than usual in my house............. I think we might have an infestation....... I knew there was one in the garage but since we have cats that kept them out.... but I think it might be spreading.........

Palmetto bugs are probably my least favorite animals ever. Well, not quite, but of all the animals I've had to deal with before, definitely. They are creepy. I scream whenever I see one. And by screaming, I mean so loud I wake up my mom and she thinks somebody broke into the house. They scare me to death.... especially when they fly.

It especially stinks when you have to use the bathroom and there is one in there. Even more so when it's in too bad a position to spray it directly and you have to come back with the bug spray and be careful. AND to make it even worse, after it's sprayed, it flies up behind you several minutes later and lands on your computer desk. That pretty much sums up my night. T_T

Please, please pray with me that these bugs leave this house..... I never, ever want to see another one again. T_T Thank you guys.... *he needs comfort*

I know how you feel. I have lived through the Great Cricket Infestations #1 and #2 and they were horrible. Especially trying to sleep when there are so many chirping in the ceiling. I brought a bad full of dead crickets (I killed about 15-20 in one evening) to the Residence office --and the next day someone from maintenence came and fixed the holes where they were getting in.

Could you guys maybe call an exterminator? Or maybe you could check for holes/chinks that they are getting in through?

Exterminators might be a bit too expensive but come to think of it last time we had some guy fix our roof he said there were a few cracks we needed to fix up. That might have something to do with it.... Thanks for reminding me, Sheenar!

They're actually worse than roaches because they're slightly bigger AND they can fly... T_T

But thanks for the prayer and advice everybody. I haven't seen any more yet.
