You do gender inspections?
What do you do when creepy crawlies pay your home a visit?

Super rare to see one but mama can't stand any sort of bug in the house and she'd probably flip if she ever saw a cockroach........I can almost see her now trying to find one of these on Amazon.

I think they are called stink bugs. They hibernate in the walls in winter. And they crawl out inside the house at times- a few times a year, usually in November, December. I guess they're old bugs, because they are super easy to swat.
BTW. one of the things about NYC, it doesn't matter where you live- in a luxury tower or basement apt- you either have roaches or mice. It's one or the other. If you don't have roaches, it's because the mice ate 'em. If you think mice and roaches can't get up to the 121st floor, you haven't lived in NYC.

Once or twice a year, we get the big palmetto bugs, large roaches, in the house. Usually in the bathrooms as they are drawn to dampness. A store bought roach spray does the job quite well, if you can catch them. Once a month our bug guy comes and sprays around the house. This seems to help a lot too.

My majestic palm (inside) developed what my son tells me from Google is spider mites…. Teeny tiny little critters that hang from web-like threads off the fronds. It is now *outside*. When I can get a spray bottle to mix dish soap / H2O and spray it liberally (supposed to kill the little stinkers), maybe I’ll let it back inside.

I let them go about their buggy business unless they get too lose for comfort, then I catch them in a container and escort them outside.
