it's raining roaches

Up +207 Down

It was during the summer in Arizona and I worked at a pest control company, as a technician ( I killed the bugs ) it was a regular day, 102 degree weather, and vermin too eradicate. Our services include us spraying around the perimeter of the house ( 2 feet up the house wall and 3 feet away, along the ground ) and the interior along the baseboards. I begin with the outside. Usually in the backyard there is a concrete patio with a covering attached to the back of the house, and if you stick your gun in between the crack where the foundation is, you can flush out a lot of insects. I begin forcing the nozzle in this long crack and instantly crickets, earwigs, scorpions and roaches come running out. All the insects crawl along the pavement except for the roaches they immediately run up the wall of the house, but i'm too busy focusing on filling that crack with poison, after 5-8 min the pavement is black, covered with bugs and so is the house wall so i'm feeling good, job well done, check, customers getting their moneys worth, check. All of a sudden i feel something fall on my back, it felt light, like a raindrop but i was under the the patio roof and as i looked up, the roaches that had been crawling up the the wall had made it to the ceiling and now the pesticides began to take affect. These roaches were between 1 to 3 inches, they were huge and all came down at once, falling down my collar, on my head, arms and back. I'm running back and forth, screaming loudly, running into things and hitting myself with a stick, I had found in the yard, their tiny legs scratching my skin, crawling down my shirt. I just stopped and started rolling on the ground like a character in a funny sitcom, I'm just glad no one saw me, at least I hope no one saw me.
