[quote=Anonymous]I have lived in this house for almost 20 years and never had roaches. Twice in the last 2 months I have caught a single cockroach skittering away on the kitchen counter. The second one was about a week ago. It's an old house and there are a lot of nooks and crannies--like a some small gaps between the counter backsplash and the wall, gaps between baseboards and the wall, that sort of thing. If it had been just one sighting I would have relaxed by now--had a single cockroach in a place where I lived before this house but never saw a second. Recently pulled out fridge (got new fridge) and stove (I was looking for the model number for a part replacement) and didn't see anything, also cleaned up dust and crud that were underneath.

Just not sure what to think. In college days I lived in a place where we could never get rid of the roaches completely (this was out west and adobe house that shared a wall with the house next door, the original house was a couple of hundred years old), we could abate the population from time to time. DS had an infestation in his apartment (old building)and went to war for a year before the cockroaches vanished (he went Rambo with spray sealers in the end and that kept them out). With 2 sightings a long time apart I wouldn't even know what was working. I read that female cockroaches can reproduce asexually--just hope this one is a male who has not found a woman? [/quote]
