Cockroaches. First it was larvae. I was scared of rice for months after that. But my whole apartment was unhealthy, I moved.
I had bed bugs, we had to throw bed and mattress away, wash all clothes again and again, use steam everywhere until we moved, what was planned anyway. We didn’t bring any bug with us but we use some pesticide on our furniture.
I dealt with food moths few times, but that’s easy. I just threw the food where the moths are –rice, tea, floor…–, deep clean the kitchen, put everything in the freezer for 48h minimum, then put all the food in glass jars. Now, I still put my floor and sugar in the freezer before storing it, and try to put all dry food in glass jars or metal boxes for tea and coffee.
When I have ants, I leave something sweet outside, on their path, so I don’t have to kill them. It works.
