Not just the odd bug or two, but families and clans of them!
It started out innocently enough..one bug here, *SQUASH*, one bug there.. *SQUISH*...
Then out of nowhere, I would go into the kitchen at night, turn on the lights and there would be a whole gang, scurrying off as fast as their little legs can take them! Ever so often, a defiant bug would stare me right in the eyes, as if challenging me to get some tissue and squish the living daylights out of it, all the while thinking "I can outrun you, human!!"
David's way is to flick them with his fingers with such force, that they go flying off and smack their little heads on a far wall and suffer some serious neurological damage..it's effective, I have to say, but leaves them on the floor for me to sweep up at some other opportune time.
SO, a few days ago, I embarked on this massive bug eradication thingy, using the products below .. the project is still coming along - I've done most of the cabinets, behind and around the fridge, dishwasher & oven..
Meanwhile, our kitchen table is in disarray because I've had to unload whatever was in the cabinets onto the table while the cabinets were being "de-bugged". Yesterday, we literally had TV dinners - defrosted and heated up rottisserie chicken and a fruit tray on our laps while watching ( what else ) FOOTBALL!
Tonight it's a break from the extermination ( man, it's intimidating ) so we have our kitchen table back ( well, at least part of it ) and on the menu will be Texas Panhandle Chuckwagon Chili, Crockpot style with broiled sour dough garlic bread...and home grown, vine ripened cherry tomatoes!
YUMMERS!!!!!

I hate bugs in my house! Ants are the worst. They are so hard to get rid of! Good luck!
Uuugh..thank goodness that the only bugs that my apartment suffers from are fruit flies *haha*. I forget what ants and mosquitoes look like here in San Francisco.
Bugs exist here, but generally in the warmer, flatter parts of the city (SOMA, Marina...), but I have not seen a roach, waterbug or any such nonsense in my area of town. It is heaven!!
Good luck with the extermination project!!!
Bugs are definitely not my cup of tea. Good luck with the extermination!
bring on the shelltox!!! *sprays shelltox around wildly*
I guess we're lucky in that regard. We have never had a cockroach problem in this area. I have no idea why. It's almost spooky. Three Mile Island no flies kind of spooky. But we do have the odd scorpion and occasional foot long centipede. The hazards of living in the desert I guess. Good luck with the bug problem. :P

I HATE bugs! My grandmother has a problem with lady bugs and she has tried everything to try to get rid of them. I used to like lady bugs, but not in groups of hundreds. lol... But here at my house, we rarely have problems with bugs, thank God.
*~*God Bless*~*
