Oh how I’ve come to dread those words.\u00a0 Tonight we were relaxing on the couch drinking wine, when I hear Girts say, “uh oh.”\u00a0 He didn’t scream or anything, but it was enough to send the goose bumps to my skin and give me the weebie geebies.\u00a0 Why you might be wanting to know at this point?\u00a0 La cucaracha.\u00a0 Cockroach.\u00a0 After much disgusting research, I can say more precisely an American Cockroach.\u00a0 How can I be certain that it’s an American Cockroach?\u00a0 Well, American Cockroaches are the ones that grow to 2″.\u00a0 And I think it’s going to be a long night because it was crawling across our bed.\u00a0 On my side.<\/p>\n
Girts has ensured me numerous times that it must have crawled in through a crack that opened up under our air conditioner.\u00a0 There was a crack (that is now sealed).\u00a0 And this does fit the behavior of American Cockroaches.\u00a0 After scouring the apartment with a mirror (that can see under and behind places) I know I shoud trust my husband, but I still can’t get past the weebie geebies.\u00a0 This weekend Girts has the job of cleaning under the kitchen sink and next to the fridge where we have stacked our paper bags.\u00a0 German Cockroaches like eating paper bags.\u00a0 I’m not sure about the American ones, but one can never be too safe.<\/p>\n
I know I will need to cohabitate, to a degree, with cockroaches, but I am not looking forward to it.\u00a0 Zoe really needs to do a better job of catching the crawly things that creep throughout our humble abode.\u00a0 And to those of you who are planning a visit…I will make no guarantees, but August 1st, the first Tuesday of the month, when the exterminator wakes us up knocking on our door, we will take advantage of the free extermination.\u00a0 It’s cat-safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
