Yuck!

When my cousin was here I discovered we had a lot of spider egg sacks hanging all around our house. These are not ordinary eggs, these are from the Black Widow. (Actually, what I have seen, I think we have the Brown Widow). Anyway. These are potentially deadly spiders, so naturally I would like to kill these baby spiders before they get a chance to hatch.

Yesterday I sprayed the bug poison all around the house, inside the patio, around windows and doors and in the garage.

This poison is something I normally would like to avoid using, hence, the accumulation of spiders. After all, a home full of poison sprayed all around does not sound that great to me. But I need to protect my family... This spray works for 6 months. What is very common the day after spraying is that bugs of all kinds, but mainly cockroaches, come out of the woodwork to die. Yeah, this spray works great on the cocharachas too!

Last night when we were watching TV, Ken all of a sudden stood up very quickly. A huge roach had been crawling on him! We weren't able to get it before it disappeared into the couch... I have no idea how my dear husband could stomach sitting back down on that couch! All evening I had that creepy crawly feeling all over, imagining bugs crawling around.

Just now, I was going to pick up Sarah's clothes that were on the floor in the office. Then I stopped myself. Next to the clothes was this beast:

An unwanted visitor

This humongous roach is now thoroughly sprayed with bug spray and flushed down the toilet. You can tell it wasn't feeling good to start, normally it would have fled quickly when I got close to the camera, so it was probably already dying. Maybe it was the same guy as last night? Disgusting...

But to be fair, roaches is not a common sight in our house, luckily... But if you live in Florida, you have roaches. You just might not see them...

Welcome to Florida, aunt Ewa. I know you just can't wait to get here now! :-)
