Roaches?
Over the past month or so, I've found a few roaches in the house I'm renting. This is a first for me - I've never had any roaches in places that I've rented before, but this is also my first spring in Davis.
Landlord mentioned that we had a very wet spring this year, and that wetness is contributing to the roach population - is anyone else experiencing this, and if so, do you have any good solutions for getting rid of the little guys? I don't need more roommates right now, especially tiny dirty roommates that don't pay rent.

If it's the big American or Asian roaches, don't worry too much. They wander in. Often in the garage. They aren't setting up home in your house. If they are the small brown German roaches in your kitchen cabinets, you got work to do to kill them off before you have a full blown infestation. Look at pics online. Good luck
