Cockroach problem

<p>I have my D bag her dirty clothes and bedding and leave them in the garage until they can go directly from the bag into the wash. Her mattress (which we purchased, comes home with her) has a zippered covering over it. My concern is bedbugs, not roaches, but I don’t want any bugs in the house. JRZMom - hope and pray that was the only one! The worst thing would be a pregnant cockroach…</p>

<p>A few cockroaches made the trip from Louisiana to Michigan inside my clock radio. Thankfully the brutal weather killed them off quickly.</p>

<p>Go to Home Depot and buy a one oz. bottle of Hot Shot Pest Control Concentrate. It is labeled for institutional, industrial, commercial use only but you can buy for your home at Home Depot for about $9. Mix one oz. with a gallon of water in a sprayer tank and you are good to go. Spray it on baseboards, especially in kitchen, and bathrooms where roaches like to hang out. One application is good for about 6 months. Good hunting!</p>
