[@riskproblems8012]

I'm kinda confused did they take care of the roaches before all of the new furniture and beds or what

[@peggypeggy4137]

They probably cleaned, sprayed, and used gel, (to stop future generations of cockroaches) and then bought the furniture. We bought our century home years ago. There had been 2 families there previously. They had a slumlord and the house had been filthy (altho' not hoarded). There were cockroaches and mice everywhere. We got some professional cleaning help, resanded the floors and painted. We got in pest control who did 2 exterminations. They also consulted about where mice were getting in. After that we adopted a stray adult cat, that we named "Peggy" ( hence, my internet name). The exterminators took care of the mice and Peggy kept them away. The products they use are very effective. Haven't seen a bug or mouse since!!

[@nikkination74]

Yes they called in exterminators they just didn't show. It was said on the end of third day. The full episode is on Netflix

[@matthewwilliams5407]

I've been in a very similar family dynamic. Unless there's some immediate changes with their habits it's going to revert to it's old state or, more than likely, be worse. The black community needs to stop being so hard-headed and embrace therapy for change; I hope this family does.

[@ahoward3503]

We rescued one of our dogs from a horder's house. It must have been bad, and maybe some abuse too. But he seemed like he'd never been on a wood floor before, probably because of either he wasn't let inside, or because the trash covering the floor and not being visible. To this day he stands on the carpet and whines, and we have to guide him over the hardwood while he shakes because he's so scared. He walks like the floor is going to eat him up.

[@noahpehowic6080]

When the environment you've been used to for multiple years is completely altered, shock will hit hard, even if that environment was uncomfortable. Change is hard, especially when it's all cleared out in just one day. And when you have a compulsive hoarding disorder, the shock and grief is immensely more difficult to get through. We clean our rooms and are able to cope easily with the new environment, but it's just not that easy for someone who is a compulsive hoarder. I think that the support from her family and professionals, as well as seeing how the children blossom as a result of the cleaner living space, will all help her get through the grief that she's experiencing.

[@ntakovacj3644]

@@noahpehowic6080 This is perceptive; it's probably true that it's more complicated than it seems. Looks are deceiving but she comes across as emotionally flat' the same after as before.

I can only guess that it was taken care of.

@@iluvbears4861 Yeah I agree. They have to come together for the kids and themselves people have their own negative build ups about themselves and it stops them from taking care of business, I’ve learned the hard way personally my ex husband was nonchalant and didn’t do much I used to be that way slightly and that’s probably why we attracted each other. People can’t just lay down and have kids without having some portion of their lives built and stable. This is the result

[@kittyb275]

@@mj7177 they should both be working 2 jobs. Have family care for the kids, or use a daycare. There's no excuse to have your kids in a home with roaches crawling on them. I hope cps keeps a close eye on this family. This is child abuse and endangerment. They can get seriously sick with the mess and roaches.

I love Dorothy! She always has such a great attitude and seems to really love the process and helping people.

[@hi-xf7cj]

I agree. Dorothy is compassionate caring and totally non-judgemental. She treats everyone the same no matter what she sees when she walks through the door.

[@Noise_floorxx]

Put the kids in CPS for what? The children seem to be loved and cared for. Why put them in foster care when you can offer help and hope. Families need to stay together.

[@cantineglover]

Agreed 💯

[@stephaniebach__12-24]

Too many people too quick to say “call CPS” before thinking things through........it’s disgusting how brainwashed some people can be

[@hunniedtea]

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS!!!!

[@chittyluv2651]

Dorothy! I love you. I say Dorothy on Hoarders is always so upbeat and positive. If she can be I can be too. I love the show and you are a great example and role model for me!

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

No way would I have my children live like that if I could only rent a room I would have done that. There is nothing to keep everything is infested. The whole house needs striping to the studs . They bring in new beds to an infested house ,wait till it's dark the roaches will be back.

[@cherylschumaker1366]

I don't know much about roaches but don't they carry disease? And don't they bite? Also I heard they are very hard to get rid off. Where did they come from?

[@sunangel-rivka]

They usually get brought in with something, packaging, food, or whatnot. They are doubly hard to get rid of in warm climates. I grew up in so cal, and we had them for a while when I was growing up. They stink too. What a nightmare. They didn't show it, but I'm sure they called an exterminator to fumigate the house.

[@stormy7192]

They are terrible for people with allergies, copd, and asthma too. If they have a food source they will stay in your house and multiply. My mom had them.

[@emmafisher8827]

Roaches rarely bite but when they do, they feel threatened. The combination of their invasive nature and diseases is what makes humans instinctually repulsed by them. Oddly enough, they have to clean themselves after touching humans so that skin oils don’t block their airways!

[@bd3966]

Yeah Dorothy actually said that they carry salmonella and contribute to asthma from their vomit. there was also black mold growing in the walls. They fumigated they mentioned it in the episode.

[@casienwhey]

The roaches walk up to family as a group: "There are 10,000 of us and 3 of you. You need to leave, now." Family nods and quickly departs.

Flora doesn't act too excited about her clean home with new furniture.

[@findmeintime]

I'd sleep in a tent outside rather than inside with those bugs

This woman doing the organizing thinks she's talking to a bunch of five year old pre schoolers.

So true, drove me crazy

At 5:59 that little baby is so adorable.
