This freaks you out?  Not sure what you have experienced in your life, but if this freaks you out?  "Hoei Vay", or something like that!

This product worked for me.

I have used these Raid roach bombs.  Be sure to cover your bedding with plastic covering or remove your bedding and pillows from your bedroom  before you set the bombs off.  Close the windows. Shut the door.  Sleep in another room for a day or two.  These foggers will definitely get rid of any roaches left in your bedroom.

Good luck.  Hope it works for you.

 

RAID® CONCENTRATED DEEP REACH™ FOGGER Penetrates into cracks and crevices to kill bugs where they live and breed.

LOL. You're not Jewish, are you? I think you mean oy vey, but the thought in context was there just the same.

In Texas the roaches are so big they need a leash!

[Northray]

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.  It was a large one.  We called the exterminator to come and re-spray.  Unfortunately, he can't come till Friday.  The stress will have killed me by then.  Some of you may not understand and I understand that it's irrational, a phobia, nuts, but I just can't with them.  They are just soooo wroooong! 

I do have to get a grip though -- gosh they just evoke a strong disgust in me and the flying ones 😱 I just can't..........

In New Orleans, they party with the natives.

Hey @Northray

Glad you are getting a re-spray, and I do hope it is free. Don't know if there is anywhere on the globe that is "insect free". If it is indeed a "phobia", have you considered how best to work on learning to deal with it?

I consider myself a "recovering alcoholic/addicted gambler" and there, in my opinion, is no cure for either. However, they can be held at bay with differing methods for most individuals, none of which are usually an easy task.

OMG @Northray  I saw one in my garage last night I swear could pass for a jetliner...I was freakin' out.  (I haven't seen one in a year).

I have a exterminator twice a month...I hate florida for the bugs!!!  Makes me laugh when they say "oh its just a water or palmetto bug"...

If I ever had one in my bed -- I'd NEVER be able to sleep in it again!  I'd have nightmares...when I watch those shows with Hoarders I have to change the channel because of those roaches & more...

Lately I have been having a issue with "gnats" and "fruit flies" and honestly, I don't buy fruit.

I bought a lettuce head from Publix -- cut it open and the entire inside was rotten with little black bugs inside...

I've also bought Ronzoni  pasta from there open box and yup ... black bugs!

I'm starting to hate that store!!!  Not only for the prices but for the extra bugs they are sending home with me!!!

It is free, that’s why they’re not rushing to get here, darn them.

Congratulations on keeping your demons at bay, I know it’s an ongoing battle.  I have a bit of a problem with OCD and phobias, there are just things that make me anxious and skeeve me out.  Stuff that rationally I know are part of life but bring about an irrational response or too strong of a response.  Not, thank goodness, enough to keep me from functioning and being useful to people but enough to make me post this morning in a jacked up way.  And I’m not looking forward to tonight.  It’s alright though I’ll deal.
