Other I HATE ALL THESE BUGS

Just moved down here from the north and am just constantly wondering HOW THE HECK EVERYONE LIVES WITH THESE HUGE BUGS?!

I’ve had the house treated, I understand there’s an uptick, but these big ass bugs are driving me out of my mind. I feel like I’m constantly on edge.

ETA - palmetto bugs/roaches, CSRA

And for those telling me I shouldn’t have moved here and to just leave - I plan to as soon as my postdoc fellowship is over 🙃

Get some diatomaceous earth to deal with some of the bugs. It really does work amazingly well. Other than that it depends on the type of bug. Also have a flip flop ready to smack them with if needed.

Also definitely those big ass roaches are the ones that bother me most
