We have a LOT of bugs (and mosquito's) here in Florida! The bugs that I despise the most are Palmetto Bugs .... GIANT cockroaches that can fly ... they are really gross! I've lived in Florida for 46+ years and I have lots of plants inside the house but I don't have bugs in my house; before I bring any plant inside I hose off every speck of soil and repot it in fresh potting medium. I love having lots of the little lizards around because they eat the bugs, even the huge ones! Little lizards are my friends.
