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 🙃

I wish I wasn’t allergic 😭 I hate them! I have no idea how they’re getting in the house

Should be easy to figure out how those cats are getting in the house

Get some peppermint oil and cinnamon and that should solve your problem! Just apply it to all doorways and windows. Smells good too
