My pest guy told me the flying roaches often accompany new palms that were recently planted. Had two fly in my house . My pest guy came out said not to worry the only live 72 hours. told him it was 73 hours too long. I did manage to get both. he sprayed outside and that took care of the problem. I saw one out i the yard three years later so called him back.

My pest guy came out today to take care of another problems rover ants.

they are little black ants that look like specs of pepper until you see them move. If they are on your granite counters you will nevr see them unless you go eye level and use a flash light.

we found some in our bathroom sink pu;;ed everything out from under the counter and puled the drain apart...none there

My pest guy said the rover ant is the mascot of the villages. They burrow deep under the concrete slab and work up to cracks in the slab and then up to small cracks incaulking, etc. since they only have one queen one treatment usually takes care of the problem until another crew finds an opening.

We have had two mortimers ( frogs) try to move in. Boy those puppies move but not as fast as the three geckos that looked up at me, over the past 6 years when entering my house with that dumb look of theirs you could almost here them say," dog poopie now what"

Told my pest guy I wanted to buy him a cell phine so I could call him direcly day or night...no critters welcome in my house
