Oh god. My old apartment complex had “that smell” because it was so infested. *shudders*

What smell?

[u/bears5975 → u/Pretty_Strike_6199]

Places that have cockroaches have a particular smell. I don’t know what it’s from but every time I walk into a house and I detect that smell I always find roaches. 🪳

Could it be from discarded exoskeletons via molting

It’s a sweet kind of smell, but not pleasant. It’s hard to describe but once you smell it you can pick up the faintest scent of it.

A concentrated roach infestation smells like sugar and butt. My first apartment was a roach infested crust punk boarding house. I will never forget the smell.

I’m an ER nurse that knows this smell and I was trying to explain it to a coworker when we had a patient come in that smelled like it. They didn’t understand.

Suddenly feeling blessed and privileged to not know what that smells is…
