Palmetto bugs..........?

Question

Ok so Im freaking out. I saw a HUGE palmetto bug in my room late last night while playing around on here and woke my husband to kill it. Well today he sprinkled boric acid around the outside of our house ( we don't wanna do on the inside because of the kids) and I sprayed the inside tonight while the kids went to bed. Well I saw another in my kitchen sink!!! Its really freaking me out. I don't even know if i can go to sleep. I am so afraid of them and my house isnt dirty or anything. My husband keeps telling me that we live in a wooded area so that is why we are seeing them. Plus its so hot they are looking for cooler air. WELL I wanna know if what we did will actually help! If I have to go the rest of the summer seeing these things Im not gonna have any sleep! Any suggestions??

Answer 1

roach traps work very well

just keep them where pets and small children can't get to them

Answer 2

T%ake  the kids and any pets out of the house for the day. Set off a few bug bombs. following the directions.  Return and air out house.   The boric acid  will work until it gets wet.  

Make sure you  you bomb the  attic and any basement if you have them. Spray/treat the house every 3-4 months in the future.
