A Nasty Little Story Your Exterminator Will Never

It's true...... After you read it, you tell me if a cockroach could possibly survive in YOUR kitchen!There's this big ole' nasty looking cockroach.....you've got roaches whether you like it or not.. Smith."But I keep my food in containers and I keep my floors and countertops clean. He can detect things that you and I can't.the kind that flies..all in your kitchen.. Nope............right?Now let's take a look at what happens when that roach gets into your home and how he survives.. He walks on dog and cat poop because he just loves the little snacks he finds there.. (Did I mention the bacteria on his feet?)Next, he goes to the can opener on the countertop..FACT: Cockroaches enter homes through cracks and crevices in most cases, although the German cockroach.. Calm down.. Smokey can lick the crud from that can opener wheel when you didn't even know there was crud on it...K.... And by now he has pooped all down inside your toaster, all over your can opener, and all over the inside of your silverware drawer.if you know what I mean.into the kitchen!The typical Smokey Brown Cockroach (The really big, ugly, dark brown ones we like to call Palmetto Bugs) likes the kitchen because there is plenty of food and water there..why would a big, nasty cockroach want to stop off in the drawer where I keep my silverware and cooking utensils? The answer is really very simple..but others really like our homes and those are the ones I want you to think about right now...It wasn't a cockroach.here is a real assortment of exotic foods, all blended together into a form of crud on the little round blade that cuts into the can and goes around the rim when it turns. After all.....they don't always end up in the kitchen. In Florida, for instance, they are called "Palmetto Bugs"....One thing's for sure.. Periplaneta fuliginosa""Oh no. There is food residue on your spoons and forks and knives and other utensils that you are not even aware of.. He is hungry and so he visits the buffet you have unknowingly provided.. Pretty amazing..Of course he will eventually visit the cabinet where you keep the pots and pans and cookie sheets, and bowls and dishes and cups and glasses and, before the night is over, he may wind up just taking a break from his wanderings and resting for awhile to top of a can of Chicken Noodle Soup or taking a little snooze on the surface your everyday dishes...." He has entered your home through the gap underneath the door to the patio. Nope...I almost forgot to mention your gas grill out on the patio or deck. He has crawled all throughout the toaster and it all tastes the same, so he moves on. (Although he is quite fond of the cheesy residue that is found on your toddler's pacifier) But then again, that thing is never just lying around at night, is it?Oh..It's funny how we are so in denial about cockroaches..... Let's follow him.....First, he stops off at the toaster. We'll just call him "Smokey. If you see ten, you've got a hundred.... He wants to be able to focus on more important things, like finding that cute little female he bumped into a couple'a nights ago out by the gas grill!Smokey loves the night life, so, as soon as all of the lights are off and you have gone to bed and everything is quiet, he is off to the races!By the way.. you understand why you have roaches in your home from time to time.not like Smokey can!.
