Contemplating Cleaning and Insect Murder

robotech_masterLooking over my room, I see only three major areas left to clean before I can set the bug-bombs off.
Firstly, my closet. There's a big plastic Rubbermaid tub lying in the bottom of the closet, with a bunch of stuff in it. Including bags of 2-year-old Easter candy that I bought on sale because it was such a good deal. Some of that will have to go. Others of that...well, I need to find a place to put this stuff, or else get rid of it. I also need to move the laundry out of the way.
Second, the kitchen. I need to wipe down the roachified counters, do something about spraying back in the open area around the water heater...mostly just rinse dead bugs and bug poop off of the counter space, maybe follow up with a little 409.
Third...the bathroom. God help me, the bathroom. I'm not going to describe it, because that would really wander into the realm of Too Much Information. Let's just say that it's probably a good thing that my sense of smell doesn't seem to work.
After I've got everything cleaned up...then I pack my flatware and silverware into a rubbermaid tub and move it out to my car...and then the bug bombs go off. I've got two boxes of three spray-bombs, as well as one mist-bomb left over from last cycle. I figure I'll set four off one day, then three the next. I want to be sure those roaches are killed very dead.
Last time I set bombs of this spray type off, I came home to find the carpet covered with dying roaches who'd crawled out of wherever they'd been hiding to expire. I wasn't able to do much about them then, not having a vacuum cleaner. But this time, I'll be ready for the little buggers.
I can hardly wait.
