I hate cockroaches
 

Been living on this island for 6 months now but they still scare the shit out of me.
Where I used to live there were no cockroaches and I dont think an insect is supposed to be this big....
:helpme

fuck that shit...

Eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a plague of them last Summer...they are the most revolting creatures ever! Some were as big as birds (ok...maybe not quite that big :1orglaugh ) and when you squashed them they wouldn't die :mad:

I'm so glad its winter and they've gone up North!

Uhm...where is your north?
I just sprayed one in the kitchen.
I am in the sleepingroom now waiting for him to die. I can hear him breaking my boards and glasses though in his struggle for life.
:(

Where did you use to live that there were no cockroaches? The North Pole?

Yikessssssss :Oh crap

Netherlands. City of Rotterdam.
There is a dutch Variant of cockroaches but they are small like ants.
Not the kind of motherfuckers I am seeing over here.

During the winter they seem to disappear...not sure where they go but I figured they moved up North where the weather was warmer as they always seem to reappear in the Summer here. (its ok Pornopat...up north here is Queensland)

Forget the spray...no amount will kill 'em...find a shoe!!!

Ok not as big as this but still....

There is no winter on this caraibean island I am afraid.
Hmmm
A shoe? What if he pulls a shoe as well and smashes me?
:Oh crap

They don't go anywhere, they spend winter hiding in their warm little holes all around your house.

even if you have clean house they come in.
i often see them in the woods or in the mulch around my landscaping. they can only infest if there is a food supply, mainy water. seeing the occasional roach or roach carcass is fairly normal. but if you see a live roach in the day,inside, its a good sign you have a problem.

I live next to a supermarket so that might be the reason but today when I stepped outside it also smelled like something is rotting.
I may have a dead iguana or something like that in my garden. I need to do a search when I have light tomorrow.

I recently moved to a tropical place as well. One day I went into the bathroom and this is what I saw:

I had never seen one before. I named him Pepe.

oh don't tell me that! I was feeling safe from them :Oh crap

hmm...that can be a problem. I generally use my husbands size 13 shoe...it would be extremely unusual for anyone (man or cockroach) to have a bigger shoe than that! But I can certainly understand your fear:Oh crap

lol.
Well looks like the spray did his job. I just checked and saw him laying on his back. Not sure what is in the spray but I am pretty sure it has some chemicals that are illegal in most countries.

He looks like he could go out for a drink with you.

This one was actually pretty small...I hear they get a lot bigger

used to have some small roaches in our condo here ... got some dogs and now we have no bugs. weird :)

Oh, God. cockroaches reduce me to a quivering pile of screams.

edit: in a very, very BAD way.

The thing is still alive..still crawling on his back....

fuckin disgusting

I hate all bugs yuck

eeeewww... I so remember that MIB film with those awful roaches

Bump.
Looks like his big brother is here to have a word with me.
:helpme

Why oh why did I click this thread... though I know one guy who loves them :)

:repuke :repuke :repuke :repuke

Roach sex anyone?

when i lived in nyc i would see them on the sidewalk sometimes the size of a rat

time to move again

He can have mine...

Ok I should not have said that. Now I am afraid the cockroach is gonna bitch slap me telling me that he/she aint my possession.

This one is so big I dont even dare to look for the spray.
:Oh crap
