Hello,
My husband and I have been through a very disgusting weekend-All of the sudden we began to see roaches appearing everyday!
Starting on Sunday I saw a roach inside my closet(it was pretty huge too).. I have to admit, I haven't cleaned my closet for quite a while but I don't understand why one has to appear in their-arent they suppose to appear in the kitchen or anywhere theirs food involve? Anyway, we eventually killed that roach with RAID and that same night we decided to clean a little the closet-take out some old cloths and stuff.. We also saw a few of those dust bugs that are sort of clear with a lot of legs(disgusting) Anyway, on Monday we saw another huge roach in front of the closet.. it was upside down and still very well alive.. We also sprayed that roach with Raid.. Today in the morning my cat found another huge roach but this time it was in the shower when I sprayed it it was heading towards were the water goes in.. My question is why all of the sudden there is a lot of huge roaches appearing? Were can they be coming from closet or bathroom? The sucky part is that our bed is right in the middle of the closet and bathroom-one of these huge bugs can get on top of us while sleeping.. eewww!! Iam very paranoid when it comes to roaches (especially huge ones) my husband is also kind of afraid of them as well-the only one that isn't like that is our cat:D
Anyway, is it their season? Why are they appearing daily? And what can I do?

In Florida it is very much their season. These are not the small tan ones with stripes that are normally first sighted in kitchens. They are a separate species. Normally these large roaches live out of doors in moist, sheltered areas. Is there anything right outside that could be affording them shelter? Have you recently moved anything that might have been doing so over the winter? As for getting rid of them, I would recommend getting bids from at least three different professionals, and asking them what they will do for the money and why they would do it that way. If they can't explain it, they can't do it.

You should buy sticky roach traps. They work well. You can also scatter boric acid powder in your cabnetts, closets, and wherever else you see the. Most people who have roaches in their houses get them during the spring or summer. At school I always see them whenever it is warm so it does seem logical that it is their season.

I just read your answer to Brandy. The Air Conditioner drip is goint to continue to attract them as it will provide both water to drink and food in the form of mildew. Have the a/c looked at before it damages the wood.

Oh and don't forget to keep your house clean! Roaches love dirty houses with a lot of crumbs and food left out. You should try eating only in your dining room and kitchen so that you don't drop crumbs everywhere.
