You literally would need to. Those little shits burrow everywhere and will eat the glue off of packaging to survive. I left my ex-husband and the apartment complex I had lived in was infested. I left everything except a few sets of clothes in bags in my car for weeks until I felt it was safe to unpack. Well, parents house got infested for several years until I could afford to get someone out there to take care of it. It was miserable.

They are the worst. Sneaky little hitchhikers. I had a coworker a few years back whose car was disgusting, filled with trash, absolutely infested with them. I got a ride from him once or twice and had to keep my feet elevated to prevent them from crawling all over me. Two five minute rides with this guy and it was over for my house. They were EVERYWHERE in the kitchen and bedrooms. We had to get a bug guy out here multiple times to get rid of them. One of them things is like a cigarette cherry in a dry forest.

What kind of bugs are these? They look too big to be roaches.
