the rental was out of state, southwest hot location; it was truly horrifying, not like some slight ickiness. we had a little baby, and we’d just moved in, and we had a used diaper that we hadn’t disposed of right away, and that morning there were a bunch o roaches crawling on it. . I’ve only seen ants and spiders, rats and mice and such around temecula. I have no problem with ants spiders rats and mice, but hate roaches. i don’t know if roaches qualify as an “irrational fear” yet; there was just something about that place we checked out yesterday that made me think, hmm, wonder if there are roaches here.
