Our "monsoonal moisture" near the beach in summertime SoCal brings legions of cockroaches into my house, along with ants and spiders. A pest control company has placed ant traps and sticky boxes for roaches and other intrusers inside the house and sprayed something toxic around the exterior foundation. This is week six and the ants have disappeared, but the roaches are still in evidence -- living, dying and dead -- and they are a huge, disgusting, always horrible surprise in the night when I switch on a light and walk into a previously darkened room. No form of extermination is too cruel for these gross pests, and anyone here who thinks otherwise must never have had an infestation. The only issue is: does it work?
