Ya'll I'm scared

I just saw a huge roach scuttle across the floor. No idea where it came from and I saw where it went but I do not dare look for it. Our place is messy and dirtier then normal. But I didn't think to the point of roaches coming out in broad daylight (or at all really)! we have never had a roach problem here before. 

H saw one last night and killed it. It surprised him because he wasn't expecting it. I think I was to sleepy to care at the time and I ended up passing out from exhaustion of doing nothing.

I'm scared ya'll. And grossed out. Not sure I can handle roaches at the moment.

  • I'm feeling to crappy to go hunting for it. I am sitting in a chair afraid to move from it. I will call the apartment leasing office so they can send the bug guy out. The bug guy only comes out on certain days.
  • Yikes!  I hate bugs!  I killed a spider last night, and it was gross!  ugh!

    I hate bugs too!!  Hopefully they take care of that asap!

    Since you live in an apartment, do you know if any of your neighbors are messy?  A lot of times they spill over from someone else's place.

  • We have them in our apartment too. :( I hope yours go away soon. Ours have been sticking around and we're probably just going to move again.

  • I think I would cry if we had roaches. Most other bugs I can handle, but anything that would make a loud, squishy crunch when you kill it... no thank you.

  • Is it a roach or a water bug? Water bugs (I think also called tree roaches) actually come in from outside and are not the same as a cockroach. And pretty common this time of year. I know they ae huge and creepy, but of its a water bug you don't need to worry about an infestation or anything. 
  • QJ, I looked them both up to compare. It looked more like a roach then a tree roach and looked nothing at all like a water bug. Either way they need to spray. I am even more skeeved by looking at photos to compare. 
  • Y'all would hate it down here in Charleston where we have "Palmetto Bugs" which are *everywhere*...even in restaurants and such. They are like water bugs/tree bugs and don't cause infestations either...they are just a part of life. They don't bother me one bit since I'm from here, but DH hates them. But put a spider anywhere near me and I'll freak out! I puke if I actually have to kill them myself *shudders*
