I paid the house payment; paid Mom's house taxes and mailed my unemployment form.
I bought cockroach spray and sprayed the kitchen, bath and washer/dryer area in my house. Steve help me move the stove and I sprinkled roach powder under the stove, frig/freezer, dishwasher, loose kitchen cabinet and washer/dryer. At least my house is designed so that the plumbing is contained in only one wall and easy to get to. I set off a roach bomb inside the kitchen/bath wall and put the dogs outside. I weeded the garden around the pool for the two hours that's required for the roach bomb to be effective.
Steve built some shelves in the garage this morning, and cleaned off the garage work bench for me. After weeding the garden, I started cleaning the garage. When Steve came home from work, he finished cleaning the rest of the garage, while I went in the house to deal with the extermination cleanup. I aired out the house and only saw two dead woodroaches and several dead spiders. Only seeing two roaches here, instead of the one-hundred-fifty or so dead cockroaches I saw at Mom's after I sprayed, bombed and powdered, gave me hope that the problem isn't bad here, and they're a different species of roach too, not the German type roach at Moms, so maybe they're easier to get rid of.
