sigo viendo cucarachas en la cocina
Sounds like one of the complaints about apartment living I get every day.

: And in Chile, they're called "baratas", perhaps because they don't cost much!

I had a similar problem once. Fortunately the we got the landlord to have the house sprayed and we were ok for two years. Mind you, it didn\'t make the air-con work any better! :O)
