Alas, Linda, critters-jitters, seemingly suicidal whenever spotted! Wondering why? Aloha, William

I remember living on Oahu, in attached units. A few times we had to use a bug bomb. My husband and I would joke that we’ll return and see a couple roaches on top of the can as if they are partying with pot. Flying roaches to boot! Aloha!
