They are everywhere here, it is ****ing disgusting Give me mice or rats running around over cockroaches... I can't even put any insecticide down as I have cats, the cats used to catch them, but now they just watch them scuttle past

Yes, same lol. At least mice are kind of cute and don't look creepy, giant rats are gross but they're not slimy like roaches are.

This new place I live in seems to have more roaches than my old place, probably because there's more trees around. I've even seen them just drop out of trees.

Do you have a lot of black widows and wasps where you live now?

There are a ton of wasps here but I don't think I've ever seen a black widow.

And my cats would likely catch mice lol

I'm constantly spraying every surface with antibacterial spray as I see them run across the table, counter tops, hob... I clean like ****ing mad & my place is spotless but they are still everywhere, it is vile

Back when I lived in central Paris there were tons of cockroaches in our building. Once had one hidden on the rear side of a toothpaste tube, it ran away towards me when I grabbed the tube to wash my teeth. Disgusting beings, and gross af when you're lucky enough to smash one.


As for wasps, I swear they've decided to ruin every single of my lunch breaks this past week.

My house is filled with cockroach baits.

I cannot stand cockroaches.

I've only seen a cockroach once. It was gross, but I wasn't that phased. Mice and rats are another story...I will pretty much run out of the room and jump on top of the table if I see one.

Litterally pissed myself, passing out while donating blood.
