During the night, I feel like I am being bitten by mosquitoes, and I turn the light on at about 2 am to find one the bastards sitting on my bed, so I splat it and went to get the cream from the kitchen where I saw a massive cockroach sitting on the counter top, next to the sink. My heart sank and as I went to get the cockroach killer spray from under the sink, it must have seen me and tried to scuttle off, but it was on the stainless steel of the sink so it was a bit like a cartoon character trying to make a quick escape – legs all moving really fast, but not getting anywhere (which was good for me as it gave me time to unwrap the can and spray it until it dropped on the floor in agony).
Yuk. I am disappointed that I have found a roach – I knew they'd be in the apartment at some point; I just didn’t expect it to be so soon and for it to be so large (about 1.5 inches).
Maybe it came from outside: I have seen 1 or 2 squished ones on the same level as the gym, but this one was so large, I am struggling to understand where exactly it came from. Maybe it flew in the open windows.
Oh well, time to get some traps and more mosquito repellant!
