[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read somewhere that every roach you see represents about ~250 that you don’t. [/quote]

:shock:

Get some Raid, OP. Get the kind where you can target where you spray, and do all baseboards, entryways, any of those nooks and crannies you were talking about it. If you've only seen a couple, you are catching it relatively early. Be forewarned: the pesticide sometimes draws them out of their hiding places, so you may find dead roaches around the house for a while, which is horrifying. On the other hand, at least they are dead.

I would also take everything out of your kitchen cabinets and counters, and wipe everything down with a bleach solution. Might do the bathrooms, too.

We once saw a single roach shortly before leaving for vacation. We'd been there for 5 years with no issues, so we assumed it was a one-off. We came back from a week long vacation to a literal infestation. There's never just one roach. Treat aggressively.

I once talked to an exterminator who called roaches "lifestyle bugs". They just find somewhere they like and set up camp. The only way to get rid of them at that point is to kill them all.[/quote]
