i've caught two in the last twelve hours (one around midnight, the
other around 8:00 am) near the front door, which is a little different.
essentially every roach i've ever seen in here has been near the
plumbing on the far side - in the kitchen usually, or maybe in the
bathroom or sometimes in the closet in the bedroom. but always clearly
near the plumbing as a water source. so, to see two of them come in from
the other side like this is a little different.
so, i
did some liberal spraying along each of the four doorways around the two
entrances. i suppose we'll find out how many get trapped in it over the
next few days. but, it seems to suggest there's been a population
increase in the back area. it's generally stated that seeing roaches in
the day is a bad sign.
i haven't seen any on the
plumbing side yet this year, but i will be doing spring cleaning over
the weekend - which means spraying behind the appliances and replacing
the steel wool.
the headaches have subsided. and i want
to be clear that i wasn't trying to be accusatory. i was just trying to
figure out if the unit was sprayed when i wasn't here, as that struck
me as a likely explanation for what was happening. pure intuition. and,
obviously, i would like to be informed when the unit is going to be
sprayed, if the unit is going to be sprayed. but i wouldn't have raised
the issue if i wasn't getting dramatic symptoms coming from the air -
not just headaches, actually, but visual hallucinations (tracers) and at
one point an inability to speak. i mean, i spent a day in the hospital.
they told me i had a migraine, and maybe that was it, but it kind of
seems like i was poisoned. again: i'm not making accusations, exactly,
i'm more just contemplating possibilities. however, because i've sprayed
down here this morning, i've now contaminated myself regarding any
testing. i wouldn't have sprayed if i didn't think it was gone, anyways.
at the very least, realize this: if there was spraying down here this
month, i got some pretty nasty side effects from it. so, that shouldn't
happen again without telling me what's happening so i can adjust...
