Living in Florida Means Tolerating Heat, Humidity and Cockroaches |
I see a roach every month or so around the house and this is with regular checks by Massey Pest Control. The brown recluse spider is a critter to worry about; one bit my neighbor who had a very bad reaction to the poison and had very serious medical problems with her leg where the bite happened. The doctors here in the Villages did not seem to know what to do about it so she travelled for better treatment.
There were more cockroaches and stuff in Palm Harbor (near Clearwater) where we lived probably a few hundred feet from a march that bordered Lake Tarpon .
