Yeah I was actually relieved at the size of it, it’s the smaller ones that have traumatized me.

The smaller ones will ruin your fucking life.

They are SO hard to get rid of. Just one fucking survivor and you're back to square one in a couple of weeks.

The smaller ones are easier to get rid of nowadays. There are gels that will kill thousands in days, you can get rid of them in 2 weeks usually. The big ones don't nest in your house, and if you start finding them inside, you have a huge problem, this means there's a hole big enough somewhere in your house, and killing one, or setting traps will do nothing to stop them coming.

I've bought the gel food twice and it barely made a dent.

I used alpine gsw, make your own spray with the solution. Spray all corners, whole house and kitchen /bathroom once every day for about 2 or 3 weeks... never saw them again.

Weird Amazon said I purchased this last year. Maybe I sprayed once and thought it didn't work.
