Not necessary. In addition, if the home has had roaches for years, I.E. you just bought it, it's going to take time and money with an exterminator. My routine actually works and is pretty reasonable in cost.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I have used it, but it doesn't seem to stop them; perhaps it is motivating them even more to chew their way out.

Ive dealt with full blown infestations… but of the more insidious rodent variety. I’d rather not waste my own time. I pay the professionals to get the shvt handled as fast as possible.

Rodents are a different issue.
Strange. I've used Uncle Gus around the home, seems to keep the mice away. You have to change them once every 3 months though.

I use the spray. I also have these bean bags things off of Amazon. I put it up in my attic, and the mice seem to be avoiding it. (My attic is a real PITA to get to, so I don't like going up there much.)
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I pretty much only see roaches when they are in the death-walk mode (or flailing around teats up), so it must be working for me.
