Today… What is the nastiest home you have been in? They were buzzing, hopping and leaping, and my wife was in goosebumps and hysterical.Īn experience that I do not want to relive ever again. On our feet, the trees, the sidewalks, the store windows, the cars. Jeeze! So imagine the scene, they were crawling, racking, flying, swarming, on everything. She was hysterical and had goosebumps all over her arms and legs. Last time it happened, my wife was so freaked out that I had to carry her two blocks back to our apartment. Not a scrap of concrete could be seen three layer deep of swarming cockroaches everywhere. Some flew, many just climbed all over, including on shoes and trousers and woman’s legs. Let me tell you all that when that happened, a virtual carpet of huge (mouse-sized) cockroaches swarmed out of the sewers and carpeted everything. The idea was to kill off the insects and rodents, and the city had been doing this for centuries. This was a release of insecticide in a mist fog that would be sprayed by huge trucks all over town. Well, twice a year, the local government would “fog” the underground sewers. And being a manufacturing city, dating back many centuries, there were a lot of old buildings and old roads, and old sewer lines. It is a small manufacturing city located North of Shenzhen in the Pearl River Delta. You see, I lived in a little city part of a bigger city next to Shenzhen. When I lived in Tangxia Danguan there was this twice-a-year event that is worthy of reporting.
