The presence of roaches in my home is worsening my addiction

That's what I fear the most ; waking up to find them crawling on me. It's bad enough losing sleep over it when I just see them randomly in the house. :(
 
It's definitely an unhealthy coping strategy. But I have a phobia of roaches so I understand the situation lol. I'd say call sn exterminator, anything else is unlikely to work because they're extremely resilient

You guys call that thing a "water bug"? :LOL: That's 100% a fucking cockroach, just not a german cockroach.
 
I just moved from living in a camper for 12 years and I can count on 1 hand how many times I've seen roaches. I've only lived in our new doublewide since early March and I've already seen more than I can count since May. It's literally the only thing I miss about living in a camper.
 
I feel your pain 1000% Seeing those little fuckers would throw me into a obsessive cleaning frenzy lasting all day/night. Just seeing one would make me physically squirm/wig-out because I could imagine them and feel them crawling on me...Then i had a personal vendetta against them when I would see them violating my personal space or god forbid be anywhere near my food...I could not, and would not sleep either until I inspected the surrounding area and even then I would sometimes keep the lights on....THANK GOD this year not 1 roach/bug has been spotted inside my apartment or even outside...New management took over and redid everything from landscape to paint to full building fumigating (with exception of me because I had BEEN fighting for months before they even started )

I did talk to one of the exterminators however and he showed me the exact stuff they use which he said you can buy on amazon for a fairly decent price and basically have and use professional grade stuff but save the visitation fee... ill try to add an image of it if you want to give it a try. Otherwise, good luck and keep up the good fight...

Also, smoking meth make the squirms and grossed out feelings off seeing them 1000x worse....and i mean wayyyy worse!

Yeah, it's frustrating as fuck. Especially since I spot-clean daily, deep-clean weekly, and ALWAYS clean up after any mess or seeing anything out of place (I just moved from a cluttered camper, and the clutter PTSD has turned me into a neat-freak on top of my pre-existing, severe entomophobia). I don't wanna take more oxy or fentanyl patches and fuck up my tolerance even more over these little fuckers, but I'm at wit's end with these disgusting demons from hell and there's no way I'd be able to sleep unless I'm thoroughly sedated. Any advice or suggestions is appreciated. Names of reliable products or any tips to discourage more of them from entering the house is helpful. I can't understand for the life of me why our old camper was damn-near bug free, yet our spotless doublewide is more or less a hotel for them where they live rent free. My fiance says it's probably because the camper was properly sealed, whereas our doublewide has cracks and openings where they can easily find a way in. I dunno. I don't wanna profile people, but the previous couple who lived here looked like stereotypical trailer-trash (I would know, given I'm related to what some might call "trailer trash"). For all I know, they might've had this problem, took no measures to fix the issue, and didn't bother telling us. I'm hoping it's just the rain and humidity, which would mean I will see less of them when the rainy season passes and even less when fall weather comes. Unfortunately, there's really no way of knowing til the seasons change and I don't wanna be miserable for a long hot summer (and in Oklahoma and Texas, summers are ridiculously long). I need those disgusting little freeloaders gone and I need them gone ASAP. I might just die of fright if one lands on me.

On another note, thank goodness I'm addicted to opiates and never cared for stimulants aside from caffeine. I think coke or meth would make the anxiety about this whole ordeal 10x worse.

I just learned that flying roaches exist. Man, I hate most bugs so much

It's the males that fly in search of females. The females are flightless and somewhat larger. Works that way with many insects. I'm currently in Brazil where the things are up to 2 inches in size and my boyfriend just took a male off the wall with a pellet gun Xd
 
That Diatomaceous Earth stuff is no joke. We used it to deal with an army of carpenter ants marching right into the foundation of our house. Stopped 'em dead. Also good to keep out other types of pests as well.

Sounds like you got some good solutions to deal with what you've got going on. I am really glad I don't have to deal with bugs like that, sorry you're going through it.

Keep us posted on your progress with the debuggification!
 
I got these bigass water bug roaches. They come in between the bricks and honestly I have no clue. They are the big fucking roaches too. You can even put a saddle on everyone of them. I don't see any eggs or babies, just big ass flutter bots I like to call them. Sometimes I'll hear them fly around, and even though they are harmless, I like to aim the shower head at them while I'm in the shower. Give em a little splash of H2O. I know they are thirsty, but for what? I'm assuming it's water. Hense the water bug name. They don't seem to mind. Later in the day I'll find them upside down and dead as fuck. Like they are trying to live their best 30 minutes of life before they go to the upsidedown place.

I had this problem but a lot worse. When I was in Highschool my mother decided to become a T.V quality hoarder. This also coincided with my heroin addiction. The house was so piled with shit that there were only tunnels to move from room to room. The roaches became an absolute infestation. You couldn't even get to the sink because of all the shit. There were dirty, moldy food, dishes everywhere. We had one bath for 5 people which we also had to wash the dishes in so everytime you wanted to take a shower you had to move the dishes out onto the floor first. Forget eating anything out of the fridge because it was so full of moldy food and roaches. My mom had a little chiwawa that ran out of the piles of garbage only to shit and piss on the floor and scurry back to another hiding spot. I got so strung out on heroin and Xanax that I could never make it past the withdrawal, PAWS and depression to get out. My mom was also very physically and emotionally abusive. A bunch of other stuff was going on. Previous sexual abuse stuff. I tried to commit suicide so many times. I didn't think I'd ever get out. I still don't think I have.

Thing is, I'm a neat freak. I do laundry a few times a week and I deep clean on a weekly basis, so this is driving me insane. I live in the Texoma area and I'm hoping it's just the warm, humidity/rainy season that's bringing them in and nothing that I'm falling short on, because I've been keeping our new place clear of food waste and always clean up after myself (and my fiance). It's really fucking with my head and my willpower to resist taking more oxy, but after the sight of a cockroach I know that unless I want to lose sleep over it, it's my only option. People might say it's just an excuse to take more, but the thing is--I just want to be at peace so I can sleep through the cockroach anxiety. I have no idea why, but I'm terrified of bugs. I've tried fly swatters, Raid, and putting the AC on full-blast (not to mention I keep the house squeaky clean). I guess the next step is an exterminator, but I worry that it will be a waste of time and money. After all, I live on the outskirts of town where they thrive, so my guess is they aren't going anywhere. What's scary is I read somewhere that not 1 house in the world is 100% bug-free. Fucking yikes. I guess my question is: Can anyone relate or am I freaking out over nothing? Also, what the fuck do I do to handle this better? I don't wanna have to keep dipping into my stash every time I see one. This shit is expensive enough as it is.

I can definitely relate to your fear of cockroaches. They used to paralyze me and hate missing when i attempt to kill ‘em usually with a shoe. The aftermath of smashing em is pretty gnarly too. However if I miss and it disappears I wont be able to do anything until it reappears and hopefully meets its demise
I think it’s a phobia bc it’s so much different from any other insect I’ve ever seen. I don’t like spiders but would much prefer a spider over a cock roach.
The antennas are a bit much too. Plus they fast and I just know it’s gonna go up my nostril or earhole if I don’t kill it.
 
Ugh 😩 I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with those disgusting things. They are the worst!
I’ve had them in my current house a few times. They took over the bathroom for a summer once. It was so scary to go in there and sit on the toilet and have to remove them from the shower before getting in. One time I was taking a shower and one fell down from the shower head on me! I screamed so loud and then smashed it about 10 times with a shampoo bottle.
I can barely even handle picking them up with tissue when they’re dead, thinking somehow they’ll come back to life.

I live in a house that was built in the late 1800s and it has a lot more cracks and crevices for them to get in through.
Also, we would only really get them in the summer when it was hot and they were looking for water.
Besides the shower incident, the worst was when I was sleeping and felt one crawling on me in bed/. I shot up and sent it flying, turned on the light and of course it had scurried away to hide. I was seriously panicked and started searching frantically for I don’t know how long.
Also when I’ve been high and awake in the middle of the night I’d get freaked out by any little thing and am on super high alert. In fact, I’m kinda starting to feel that way now.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings…

The happy ending is that I haven’t seen one in a couple of years, since discovering the diatomaceous earth! It really works!!!
 
They're just cute little insects, think of them like fluffy cats or something, pet them and build them little playgrounds to have fun in. Admittedly I wouldn't really want them crawling all over me or anything, but they don't eat you.

Now bed bugs, on the other hand, are the Devil's spawn, and for them you may have to torch down your house.
