One more reason to brush them before going to bed, but also take a bath, they thrive on nails, and dandruff

PinkLady - please stop reading this post now!

I read about a roach lived in someone's skull. Got there through the nose...

Yellow bug light works best on flying insects, but not so much on crawling ones, because most crawling bugs tend to stay on or near the ground.

After fixing all my doors to keep this @#$%# roaches from entering my house.... I found one in my bathroom
Finally figured out that they are coming in through the bathroom vent that leads to the side wall of the house.
I turned that fan on and sprayed the $%#t out of it

Now I'm going to look into putting some king of screen on the outside to keep them from coming in.

They are coming through the pipes, drains, toilets, sinks, vents, any, even smallest opening in the walls (like TV/computer cables), from roof/vents/soffits to attic/walls ...
You open the garage door, or back door, and they sneak in... Really very hard to prevent them from entering the house.

I can tolerate the small ones, but once they get thumb-size I can't abide them anymore. Nothing gives me dread like hearing one behind a curtain at 2am, it's like a horror movie. I use that Raid foam in the blue can that has the yellow nozzle. It's pricey, but worth it. Even the huge roaches are dead within seconds, and the foam around corners and cracks in the kitchen and bathroom keeps killing them for months.
