| OMG Roaches at Work! Ok, so school is out for the Summer . . .I've been here 9 years and NEVER once did I ever see a roach . . .for some reason today, I have killed 3 roaches that have made their way under my office door . . .I'm about to go home sick . . .literally! I asked the custodians if they sprayed last night or something and the reply was NO. So I have no idea why these critters are around today . . .All I know is that I emptied my pocketbook, shook it out and went out to my car and left it there . . .I'm about to strip down naked and high tail it outta here . . .

| Those bugs are disgusting! Years ago they use to walk around here like they owned the place. I work for a large child care agency and workers use to eat in their office and leave the leftovers in the trash in all the offices. Finally they had to stop and eat in the dinning room. Years we worked with these disgusting bugs. Be careful you don't take one home. They crawl into anything. Our exterminator made a fortune from the agency. Kids live on campus here as well and the cottages have them because kids don't care. It's a lose lose situation. |

| Exactly! I do NOT want to be bringing these things home . . .as I sit here and type I'm getting that creepy crawly sensation . . .I HATE BUGS! We don't even have food in here and the cafe upstairs has been closed since school ended in June . . .they must be out roaming so they can find something to eat . . . I swear if I keep seeing them, I'm leaving . . .

| A couple of years ago we had a self catering apartment in Spain for two weeks. The German woman living below had kitchen fitters in, they were chopping walls with jack hammers, the noise was horrendous but even worse the vibration disturbed the roaches in the ventilation ducting. I managed to dispatch a few of the horrible creatures. I was making breakfast one morning and one was crawling across the floor, I gave it an almighty kick up the backside and launched it through the balcony door. A second or two later I heard a blood curdling scream from below. A little old lady with blue rinse was walking below at the local shops and it landed in her hair. She was hopping and skipping all over the place. Poor woman, I had to retreat back inside and hold the laughter in. It was not deliberate, just an automatic reaction to get rid of the pest. |

| Ive lived in this house for 4 years and never had a roach problem, till the new neighbors came about 3 months before. They have 2 toddlers and the parents are real lax about cleanlyness. To make matters worse they tore down the small wooded area around the creek in my back to build more houses. Now I have snakes too. |
