    I used to work as an exterminator. So many people don’t understand that the little brown German cockroaches are the infesting guys. Big American roaches do not infest.

    These are the bad guys-

    If you see even a single one of the babies you need to take action immediately. Before I knew, about 12 years ago, we saw a group of the babies in our bathtub. Our slumlord told us not to worry, those are just “water bugs”. The new tenants below us brought roaches and bedbugs. The infestation was so bad I have PTSD from it. We couldn’t even eat in our apartment and it took three months to save up enough money to move. Luckily fast food wasn’t nearly as expensive back then, because we couldn’t save money by cooking at home.

    When we moved we had to throw away most of our belongings, and we were poor as fuck. They were in the electronics of the microwave.
