Cockroach Infestation at the Kamp!

[@samanton8003]

Complete anxiety seeing the roach room. I can't believe you could stand their without flinching!! Respect dude!

[@skycowboy_7391]

These aren’t roaches like you think homes

[@-desertpackrat]

also you get desensitized sometimes. My friend had to live in an apartment that was infested with the tiny ones that get really bad. He had no choice, couldn't afford to move, sprayed and treated but it was a duplex apartment, so they just kept coming from a neighbor who refused to treat theirs. At a point he was just desensitized, and so was I. We'd sit on his bed playing playstation while these things crawled all over the walls and floor, sometimes they dropped onto us from the ceiling and we'd jump up to shake them off. Sometimes we'd see them crawling inside the TV screen and couldn't get them off and had to just ignore it. Sitting on his toilet you had to pick up your feet so they won't try to climb on you. He cleaned constantly and all food was in the fridge or freezer at all times, but because the owners wouldn't actually treat anything he was stuck with it and had to just not let it own his attitude and life. Thankfully he lives in a nicer place now.

I know! I’m not afraid of bugs or a roach or two, but roaches in that quantity give me the freaking willies! I literally exclaimed eeww aloud when they were falling from the ceiling. Shudder.

Looks like AT LEAST 3 different roach species in there. German roach, red runner, and palmetto bugs. Lots of protein in this video.

[@joeyspijkers9867]

All American roaches (Periplaneta americana). In different stages, so they look different. Most common species in urban areas in (sub)tropical countries.

Have a feeling Kate maybe avoiding the big shed from now on, love the idea of spray foaming the shed so you have a larger space if you end up with crazy cold spells. The work never ends over at the Kamp but just look how happy your scale/shell babies are because of what you do. 🤗

Kudos on not running out screaming when you saw the roaches. I think insulating the warehouse itself is a great idea.

I kept gagging during this video. This was gross, but part of living in Florida. You are so brave dealing with this all by yourself. I would have completely freaked out.

[@anthonybowers6024]

Hey Kenan, There's a certain South African who's planning a trip to the States soon. He wants to go on an American Safari and visit all his favorite Reptile Peeps. Apparently he's heard nice things about you;) So when he arrives in Florida to hang with his brothers in arms Chandler & Tyler don't be surprised if they drop in for a visit and hang out at your African Cichlid pond:) Three venomous snake guy's crashing at Kenan's. Kate will love it!

[@srrfounder1]

NOTHING is gross to me after 55 years in pug, bird and bunny rescue... GREAT JOB, Kenan!!!

[@rhondaking6433]

Excellent job Kenan! After 30+ years living in Florida I'm not grossed out by Palmetto bugs and I've seen some situations worse where people were living amongst cockroaches covering walls and countertops and feeding their children!!! 🤢 😱 Now that made me sick and I left without using their phone I intended to use because mine was having issues. Never went back there again and my phone worked itself out, Thank God 🙏🏽.

[@rustyshackleford2627]

I wish I could come down and help you get everything done for the animals !!! 👍

[@Cberk03]

Good work Kenan. I've had similar roach infestations. Gotta keep controlling them best you can. Gross but has to be done.

[@dollylevels6753]

Amazing Kenan!! sometimes in the kitchens Ive worked at we get some super gross situations to clean and of course whatever comes up with my redfoot. We just gotta get through it. Its all part of the process. Gotta do what you gotta do to get the animals warm for the winter. Peace Kenan, you rock

Love the new indoor/outdoor cage idea with insulating the whole garage! They don’t really gross me out too much, but I gotta deal with all kinds of inverts for my babies Can’t you safely add reptiles to that room now with all the pesticides in there? Colin so sneaky, smart dude

That was a wonderful job cleaning.

[@lvtothesocks2304]

What goes ⬆️ must come ⬇️ wonderful video

[@gabrielb.3734]

Roaches are the freaking worst! I could be in the room, but I hate them. Indoor/outdoor cage for the toroises is a great idea. Probably an expensive build though! Have Aquascape deck out the inside around the edges and have a tortoise pen in the middle. Keep it up Kenan!

[@Lilliesinthevalley]

Relative temperature is very important though, you're in Florida for all sakes, of course some of your sweet babies will get too cold in the 15s and 16s it's no surprise, no judgement. I'm just so glad you understand their needs and make sure everybody stays safe and healthy and happy. 💕 Super excited to see the next big pond build! 😍😍

[@julierobertson9397]

For all those that dream of living in the tropics: This what you gotta deal with, folks. Kenan, what kind of bug spray do you use in a case like this (when reptiles will be the next tenants)?

[@periplanetamissionary]

I see no issues They don't exactly do well in the climate controlled houses in florida, as long as you keep things relatively clean

[@twilightraven1232]

A good relatively safe way to kill most insects is to create a solution of watered down dish soap and spray that on the bugs

[@briannelson3830]

No bug sprays just add some tokay geckos to the room

[@MstresVampy]

It's not all rainbows and great weather #fatcts

[@snowballil3133]

Yep, dish liquid and water will kill insects

[@sharongould2689]

Being here in Western Australia I giggled when you were commenting about the temperatures- what I consider 'cold' is definitely not what my Northern USA friends consider cold 😂 Also i dunno how you dealt with them roaches- roaches dont freak me out in general, but thats more than just a couple!

Goodness that is one heck of a situation!! Kenan to keep those killed off, put u out some of those roach motels. I swear they work 👌 they have them for the palmetto bugs and they work great. Just replace them regularly and it’ll def help!

[@kathleenpoulter7245]

Yep the palmeto bugs live in the oak trees in texas. They freak me out when they fly.

[@Artix117a]

as a gardener I can tell you if you plant a bunch of common herbs all around the edges of your buildings/patios/walkways where you don't want roaches, mosquitos, ticks, ect. herbs like rosemary, lavender (a personal best for repelling mosquitos), mint, chamomile and a few others. they absolutely work to repel a ton of pest creatures plus you can have great ingredients fresh for the house once they are established. but be careful with mint it spreads like mad. if you plant mint plant it in concrete raised beds so it doesn't take over the area. lavender and rosemary are slow growing and take time to establish unless you buy larger plants to start.

[@mommadeth3066]

I wouldn't be able to be in that room at all I have a fear of bugs on me and stepping on them. I had a bucket of ear wigs dumped on me as a kid so bugs in general crawling on me creep me out and the crunking noise of the exoskeleton is what gets me when you step on a larger beetle or even a snail and their shell, sends shivers up my spine

You need to get some Demon insecticide spray as a crack and service spray. I talked to Jack Armstrong at a breeders expo many years ago and he said they used it at the cricket farm for roach control. A half gallon of spray at clean up rate goes a long way and most Ace Hardwares should have it in stock.

I noticed that u moved a couple of wire cages out of that room (I think lizards have been in them previously). Could Colin not go in one of them so he has a bit more enrichment? U said u were putting a radiator in there so that would possibly give him the warmth he needs . It just seemed obvious from this video that he liked to wrap himself around and climb those branches.

I grew up as a kid on a farm in the country, the kitchen would look worse then that if you turned the lights off at our place. The pest guys would be baffled because no matter what they could never get rid of them. Eventually one showed up that showed you could never get rid of them where we lived, because the earth itself was infested with them, you could walk 100 yards in any direction dig, and find roaches in the soil. Joe's apartment was a novice class roach home.
