Buggers

Over the weekend, we had a bug in the bathroom. It was on the wall above the sink. I've had quite a few since last month. I guess the season is changing nad they are moving to warmer climates, AKA my bathroom. I got the step stool, a roll of paper towels, and proceeded to pummel the unsuspecting creature. It was big, like 2 inches big, with large antennae, dark grey/light black. Ugh. Roach? I've never had a roach identified to me before, so I am not sure.



This week I also saw one in the toilet. UGH! I have to sit on that! Of all the places. I tolerated them in the shower - put on sneakers and pretend to stomp grapes. I tolerated them on the floor - drop newspaper and do the "La Cookaracha" dance on top. But my toilet?!?!? That's sacred space! I flushed. Beeh be been... Au revoir, bug!


Tuesday the shower drain was a little slow. I had pulled the curtain while it was still draining so I didn't realize the water had stopped. Wednesday morning there was a bug on the side of the tub. He jumped and attempted swimming. Another casualty of my bathroom. Despite his best attempts, Mr. Big Bug did not make it to shore.


Wednesday night after Dayna's Back to School night, I came home to activity behind the shower curtain. I braved a peek. There were two buggers bouncing around in there like crickets. Where are they coming from?!?! I attempted paper towel pummeling. Unsuccessful. These critters are live wires jumping all over. I wussed out on the stomping grapes tactic. I closed the bathroom door and went to bed.


Thursday morning I was up bright and early. Well, not really bright seeing as it's still dark at 4 AM. I remembered that I have bug spray! After my usual trip to the bathroom (and a strategic scope out of the toilet before use), I braved the curtain! Yup! Still there. Still two. Hot Shot here I come!


Several well calculated sprays later and hopefully they'll be done, off to visit their deceased relatives in the roach motel in the sky!


6AM Surveillance - no movement, but I am not looking forward to removing the carcasses. Ew!
