you raised a jokester eh?
NOT funny! cockroaches are disgusting; you poor, poor woman! I just finished cleaning an apt, (well throwing away nearly all the belongings of a client) that was completely cockroach infested. My co-worker, Maria, much braver than myself, took on the food cupboards, and was pulling out cereal boxes with roaches running out of them. She was also lucky enough to pull books out of a book case and discover a nest there. She screamed for me to toss her the spray- but as she sprayed, I screamed for her to stop as it was making them run frantically up the living room wall (and I just didn't want to see it). It took 3 days of work to get everything out of there. Making me itch just remembering my horrible week!
