When I got to my office, I did some internet sleuthing on the topic and found your post, which made me literally laugh out loud :)<br />After work, I expected to see either a corpse, or even a sickly looking roach, but I found neither, even after removing all of the floor mats. <br />When I got home, I popped the top on a Raid fogger and placed it in the back of my vehicle. Unfortunately, it was too dark to be able to spot any activity inside the car. <br />I dashed down to the garage this morning with broom in hand, flung open the back door and saw....NOTHING! WTF! Did it somehow escape the fog of death by finding a way out of my car? Is it some sort of SuperRoach that is immune to all modern day pesticides?<br />There was a dead roach in the driveway; however, the exterior of the house had been sprayed a few weeks ago and it's not uncommong to see dead bugs for weeks thereafter.<br />I was afraid to drive my car this morning......<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
