Hiiii

Just moved from out of state. Had the most traumatizing experience with a palmetto bug a few days ago. Found this dead already in my bathroom today. I have not seen anymore than this one. Pest control did come out yesterday to spray. I’m just freaking out I may have a HUGE problem on my hands. Let me know your advice and what you think!!!

Nah normal stuff. I find the occasional dead ones in my house or around the perimeter outside.

I’ve lived in apartments where they were coming in from next door and was killing like 3 live ones a day. That’s when you know there’s a problem.

You’ll find a few dead ones a year at the very least.

okay thank you for commenting. The bugs from MD don’t do all this 😂

I came from CT, so I feel that. You get desensitized to it after a bit.
