I just went upstairs to go to bed about 10 minutes ago. Went in with the lights off and lay down to go to sleep when I feel something scratching around my abdomen slowly making it's way across my penis (sorry if tmi). I think it may be some sort of tag on the sheet since I drowsy but it starts crawling under my butt.... I start to freak realizing it's not part of my sheet...



long story short one of these was in my fucking bed crawling all on me. this is the 2nd time I've had to deal with bugs ruining my night. I don't even live in a slum or anything like that.... this apartments's so clean.

I won't be sleeping for another couple hours I don't think.

What are some good bug sprays I can get to keep shit like this from happening?

[Rocket Punch]

So u saying a cockroach molested you? Gloat thread? Gloat thread.

You should go listen to Linkin Park.

[akira28]

is that a roach? because that looks like a roach.

I guess your neighbors or something. That's a crappy part of apartment living. No matter how clean your place is, they can always come from a surrounding area that isn't as clean.

I don't think I'd be able to handle that.

[DonMigs85]

I think you need to have your place fumigated and check for any little cracks and crevices in the walls these guys might have come from.

[MNC]

Im scared to go to bed now ;-;

[Stasis]

Where do you live?

I used to get those all the time in NYC... and we were in a really nice area, so I know it has nothing to do with being in a slum or not. It has to do with the age of the area, and if you're in the city, the foundations and basement/sewer access, which more often than not are just awful and infested with this and worse.

The worst part is when you manage to freak them out enough that they fly around. I used to throw phone books at them and just generally panic. They do definitely have a tendency to explore us, and it's happened to me while sleeping/reading in bed several times. Also pleasant to encounter in the shower, crawling up the drain.

On the plus side, the babies are adorable. They're like cockroaches the size of ants. It's alarming as shit to find them for obvious reasons, but at the same time awwwww.

[Log4Girlz]

You need to teach them a lesson or they'll keep coming back. Capture that bastard and bite its head off, leave its corpse in the middle of the room.

[commedieu]

don't

go

to

sleep

[Plywood]

wants your dick

[3pheMeraLmiX]

Inside you?

[Kinky John]

I'd get a mosquito net and make sure it's sealed up so nothing can get in.

[Kenak]

They don't call 'em cock roaches for nothin.

[Trent Strong]

Just be glad something was willing to touch your penis. (Just kidding.)

[Korey]

Get roach traps. Preferably enclosed ones so you don't have to see the dead ones... :\

[NameGenerated]

I get waterbugs/cockroach things in my house and they petrify me even though I know they are harmless. I hate them so much. Maybe you can try setting some traps, they've occasionally worked for me. Thankfully the worst I've had one crawl on me was over my foot quickly when I was sitting down. I've only seen one fly one time too, thankfully.

[Despera]

Did it feel good?

[Plywood]

On the bright side it could've been much worse.

[parrotbeak]

This stuff works. Too bad its probably giving me cancer. http://www.epa.gov/opp00001/health/i...ucts/chalk.htm

[Replicant]

Kill it with fire! That's so gross.

They seem to be common in humid climates. My house is kept clean and so are my neighbor's houses yet I still have the occasional roach.

Most of them seem to be located near the sink or bathtub when they show up, so I'm guessing that the ones that appear in my house come up from the drain/pipes. :(

[Lemon Crest]

Are they crawling in your skin?

[BuddyJoeHooker]

Didn't you make a thread about Earwigs, you should be asking why they want to be inside you.

[ssoass]

I'm so happy I've never seen a cockroach in my life here in Holland.

We had a mouse in our house not too long ago but I'd rather deal with a cute fuzzy little mouse than those nasty cockroaches.

mean :\

[braves01]

Make sure you get earplugs for when you sleep. I don't know if it's a myth or not, but I've heard those things can't crawl backwards so it is possible for them to get stuck in your ear, where you will hear them scratching and stuff until you get them removed at the ER. hth

[Kentpaul]

I don't think we get them here in Scotland Thank god. Why don't you just buy a bug net and sleep inside that ?

[SwiftSketcher]

Yeah, I think I might have burned down my apartment by now. One of my biggest fears is having a roach crawl into my mouth/ear while I sleep. Damn, just fuck that shit. I wonder if there's some kind of trap you can get for the bed's legs, along these lines:



Goodluck man, what a horrible problem to have. Eughh..

oh god

[Kurtofan]

I would kill myself so hard if that happened to me.

[Wilbury]

You're gonna want to fumigate your shaft, spray a little Oust or something in there, get all the bugs out then cut the base of your helmet, pluck them out and then stitch it back up.

[Dresden]

I'd take roaches over bedbugs. I've never had bedbugs, but they sound hellish.

[Skeyser]

Imagine how many roaches molested you while you've been sleeping

[Yagharek]

Interim solution: get some surface spray. Spray the full perimeter of every entry point in the house (doors, windows, carpet, ceiling) on the inside and outside of every door - even the ones inside the house.

Do this maybe once per fortnight.

Good enough for Australian Standard Bug Infestations.

meh w/e, I'm sleepy. gonna sleep on the coach downstairs now I think. look into bug shit tmrw.

Well you have American cockroaches, and then you have Oriental cockroaches aka 'waterbugs', not to be confused with the 'true waterbug'. The oriental variety doesn't usually hang around people, preferring wet, dark, and warm places. The American cockroach is the common variety, with the reddish brown color that loves people so much, they can't wait to jump into bed with them. We get the waterbug type every summer because they crawl up the drainpipe behind the basement patio door. The OP's situation is a bit different.

Call the exterminator. Traps, perimeter spray. Wall checks, etc.

[MNC]

WHAT THE FUCK BED BUG CENTRAL


OKAY UNSUBSCRIBING GOODBYE

[Zulithe]

I am so sorry that you have to deal with that... :| It would drive me insane.

My advice... if it really bothers you, take extreme solutions and get it done RIGHT. If you pussy foot around you are going to end up having to fight them off again and again. There's a lot of information online about these sorts of problems. Do your research and get it done! Suffer no longer :P

I'd probably have spent 30 minutes washing my cock and ass after the OP's event, too.

[zoukka]

Yeah I'm so fucking glad I have never encountered these creatures and probably never will. Quality house building and killer winters for the win!

[PJV3]

Too easy and quick.
I would tongue its arse over a period of several days until it felt violated and worthless.

don't go to sleep

I expected something like this (not safe for life) from the title.

could have been a spider

Was your bed like this?

I'd take a spider over a roach any day, as long as it's not big and hairy. Assuming the spider doesn't bite and do damage.

[Noirulus]

I'd take roaches over bedbugs. I've never had bedbugs, but they sound hellish.

I had them 3 years ago. Pretty sure I aged 5 years in the span of one, they'll eat your life apart.. I think other GAFfers can attest to that.

[dalin80]

You have bedbugs, everyone does you just havent had issue with them yet.

Your mattress is a brilliant breeding ground for millions of bugs, tics, mites and other mostly harmless things.

[Silphonica]

They probably arrived on the coach you have downstairs.
