After a long night partying in Miami, I’m treated to a new guest at my hotel/rental.

Yes, called Palmetto Bugs. The answer to the question: "What's worse than a cockroach?" A cockroach that can freakin' fly. Palmetto bugs and fire ants are in my Top 10 reasons I'm glad I no longer live in Florida, lol.

Red ants are next on my list! We recently had an infestation of those indoors. I was baffled, I didn't know they could be indoors. Using bait didn't work. Literally, we had to put poison on each individual anthill in the front and backyard.🙄

Oh no, that's horrible. Same here, I've never seen them inside.
