We have been having a cockroach infestation for at least two years…They leave in the winter so my parents would think i’m dramatic to say that but it’s true. They have been here for two years.

The cockroaches don’t even just come out at night anymore. I find one or two near the toaster and the dishwasher when i’m getting breakfast.

At night, I can find them on the counter, in the compost, in the cabinets, and in our UPSTAIRS bathroom. Which is of course a big no no for me.

I’ve asked my parents if we could please do something about this and they’ve said that they can’t afford an exterminator. Which I would understand if they looked into other alternatives !! But they haven’t done that. They don’t want to save up for an exterminator nor do they want to find suggestions on how to solve the problem because they don’t see that there is one. My parents legit just tell my siblings and I to kill them as we see them…

Yes, we are in western america.

Yes, we are privileged enough to have a two parent income.
