Do you get roaches in your house or is that trashy?

Live in older home and get roaches occasionally. Is there some base minimum that is just associated with living in south LA or am I a filthy human being?

Impossible to prevent throughout the South, at least to some extent.

Every once in awhile I will see a roach. That is usually means its time to change out the roach motels, but I think everyone gets a roach in the house from time to time.

Little roaches or the big ones?

Little German ones = trashy

Big = you just live in S. La., or anywhere with a similar climate

An occasional one wondering in is just life but when you can hear them scatter when you turn on the light that's the creme de la creme of trashiness.

If it's this one, I'd be okay with it

Since I've lived in the house I'm in now, for a year, I've seen one big German cockroach and that's it. I use demon wp regularly and I'll find them dead on their backs in the grass next to the slab when I weed eat. shite must kill them on contact.

That is the worst. They disappear and then they could be anywhere

I'm trashy but not that trashy. I smoke outside.

The occasional big one but my house is pretty much one big film of pesticide.

I have a psychological terror of roaches. It's really sad how I scream like a girl and run when I see one.

I live in an older pier and beam home as well. I get it sprayed every season. I find them dead in the morning.

You get your trees sprayed? How do they spray them? Around the trunk?
