I think I heard somewhere that roaches do not carry diseases and are rather clean critters.

I agree that I do not want them in my house....ugh. I lived in Falls Church Virginia for a few years. We had roaches and water bugs. We had to put boots on to walk to the bathroom at night. I had a nest of roaches living in my toaster in the kitchen...I seldom used it and when I did try to one day, out ran many, many roaches.

Anyway, I too would move. Usually roaches only live in warmer climates. Ewwwwww. Just thinking about them living with me gives me the creeps.

Good luck finding a new place to live.

Have you thought about covering your mattress in the standard plastic covering one would use if one had allergies?

I suspect once you begin the battle, the roaches will go find a new place to inhabit. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Boy does this bring back bad memories!
