The exterminator comes to the complex about every 6-8 weeks, and even this far away from the last spraying, I may find critters, but they are always dead. The cricket was the exception, and he came in from the neighbor. I don’t know how that works, because even if an apartment is vacant, it gets sprayed.
At any rate, I used the last of the Black Flag, and finally isolated the sound, so I was able to spray and kill it...it was under a bookcase.
It would seem that it isn’t the taking that is the conflict, but the picking up. So I’m glad you have things taken care of that way. Your life is busy enough!
