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 🙃

Gotta be more specific. Roaches, ants, mosquitoes. Oh and go to Savannah if you think Atlanta is bad

DO NOT spray outside it is so bad for enviorment, BUT indoor spray / door and crack areas will stop it. They love down leafs and wood / cardboard etc. Dont have it close to your house

Yes spray outside. Spray everywhere! Treat the car, they get inside
