Question

Is it true if you see one roach in your home, they are a million more?

Answer 1

not a million, but if you see one you are definitely infested... Buy a gallon of insect killer and spray your home around the baseboards and the floorboards, HotShot has a formula that wont irritate animals after the initial treatment. You will want to concentrate a significant amount under sinks and all water sources, this includes the water heater strorage closet. But do not treat the water! Insects like humid places heat and a water source, and wood... They love wood, so spray all nontreated exposed wood sufaces, this does includes sofas, loveseats and all furniture that has wood as a support system. you can just spray the dust cover underneath the furniture to create a barrier.

Answer 2

Serious answer:

That depends. I see one roach in my house often, but they sneak in the back door when it opens. They mainly live in the grass out back, but wander up once in awhile.

The first time I saw one, I emptied EVERYTHING! All the rooms, dressers, kitchen cabinets, closets, pantry, etc. There was nothing. Then I checked the vents. I bombed, and let it go. A week later, there was one by the back door again. I have assured myself that they cannot be invisible, they just sneak in once in awhile.

Not so serious answer:

Ususally if you leave a roach, you go back for it later. They don't normally build up... lol... cough cough

Answer 3

I don't know if its a million, but you certainly do have more than just one.  Call an exterminator.

Answer 4

if you have 1 roach there is definately at least another 50, they breed like crazy

Answer 5

roaches are everywhere. If you see one inside your house there is a very high chance that there will be more. I don't think an exterminator is needed, but if you see them just get rid of them yourself, it will save you money.
