We found 3 cockroaches in our kitchen on Sunday night. Obv my first thought was 'burn the house down' but DH persuaded me otherwise. We've bleached the shit out of everything and thrown half the contents of the kitchen straight in the bin. Pest control turned up this morning in a lovely sign written van to ensure the neighbours are aware of our infestation. £250 later + all of the wasted food + a day off of work for me = not a cheap couple of days. Oh and it turns out our cleaning lady had a cockroach infestation in her shared accommodation just a few weeks ago so we know how the first roach hitched a ride into our house.
I'm seething. And still want to burn my house down. Silent screaming inside my head whilst pretending to the kids we 'just found a few bugs'. Aaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!
So AIBU to burn the house down? Or failing that force the cleaner to go through a full decontamination procedure on the doorstep for the foreseeable furture? (Actually a genuine question as really worried about a repeat of all of this )
AIBU?
To burn the house down?
