Argh; I know.. it was tough for me to swallow. But literally.. the houses that he cleans and renovates.. you sometimes need a pair of rubber waders to walk in.. think of the messiest house you have ever seen and multiply it x10! I don't wanna get too graphic.. think "house of squalor.."
This particular house was infested with roaches! See, I know that roaches in the southern areas are a matter of course.. but here, they are only really in the worse neighborhoods. If roaches were in our house, I would have to burn everything and start over! I am already paranoid abou him bringing them in by merely walking into those houses
Believe me.. I am the biggest, hugest nut about getting free herp-supplies.. but this was too gross even for me, sadly. And it is a huge shame. Roaches up here can survive world nuclear attack, because probably people use every manner of cheap sprays and bug bombs that they just get immune to.. ACK!
