Turia explained that she had run around perfecting the house and herself for the photos before she saw the lawn.
‘I hurried outside. On first glance, it appeared as though the front yard and driveway had been covered with tiny chocolate licorice logs.
‘And then I heard a crunch underneath my foot. It was a dead cockroach. In fact, the lawn was covered by hundreds of dead cockroaches.

EEK! ‘I hurried outside. On first glance, it appeared as though the front yard and driveway had been covered with tiny chocolate licorice logs. And then I heard a crunch underneath my foot. It was a dead cockroach. In fact, the lawn was covered by hundreds of dead cockroaches’
Oh dear! She went on to reveal that her husband had called an exterminator resulting in the bug massacre
‘I inspected an un-crunched roach to the side of my right foot. It was on its back like the proverbial beetle. It’s legs were stiffened by what I presumed was the cockroach version of rigor mortis. The sun glistened on its oily leg.
”MICHAELLLLLL!!!!!’ I screamed. He casually stuck his head out of the upstairs window. Michael: ‘What’s up, darl?’
‘Turia: ‘There’s about ten million dead cockroaches in our yard!!!’ Michael: ‘Yeah! You’ve been nagging me for weeks to get the exterminator around. He came yesterday! Cool, huh?!’
