We have mice. Period. We live next to fields and lots of open space and I don't think we'll ever completely get rid of them. Mostly, we haven't done much about it yet (except change some of our food storage methods). But we are talking about getting a cat, and it will be a good incentive to do so.
My mother certainly thinks I'm more lackadaisical than I need to be, I think. But whatever. I'm not jazzed about lots of traps and stuff, so .... whatever. :)
We also have ants. When they start increasing in numbers, I just buy under package of ant traps and stick them under the furniture in the room in question. No big deal. Apparently ants were a problem for the last owners of our house too.
I've never lived in the south, so I've never had roaches. I have a strong reaction to the idea, but I think that's partly my unfamiliarity.
I think I was thinking that Miller moths were something else - the description above is icky.

When Elena gets older, we will definitely have to be strict about no food in your bedroom and that kind of thing. Because that would develop into disaster, I suspect.
