hmmmm either that or the centipedes have burrowed into your brain through your nose and ears and are forcing you to say this in order to entrap more people to be their helpless slaves

Giant NYC roaches are the worst, my fiancé's parents were getting them in their 6th floor bronx apartment. The really big fuckers were crawling up from the boiler in the basement through a hole in the wall behind the sink. I stepped on one as hard as I could once, lifted my foot up and the fucker flew right at my face and I screamed like a bitch. Me and her dad had to basically disassemble their entire kitchen, and when we finally got the whole sink area taken out, they all scattered back in to the newly discovered hole in the wall - it was loving disturbing. We slapped some putty over the hole and they never came back. The basement of the building is still full of them however. gently caress those things.

Fojar38 posted:i always got the impression that roaches were fairly easy to get rid of with enough dedication owing to the fact that they're incredibly stupid and greedy even by bug standards Not really. They aren't a big deal to get if you catch the infestation early AND have no neighbors around you that are slobs (even residential homes count, not just apartments) AND live in an outdoor environment that won't keep them just as happy outside. This is why FL and NYC are legendary for their roach issues; one naturally has a hot/wet/humid climate where they can chill outside and not immediately die, and the other simulates that same muggy environment well enough with super hot boiler rooms. From there all they require is an easy access sewage/pipeline to further explore and conquer the land with and motivation in the form of garbage/chutes/nasty assholes not cleaning up their apartments

I've never seen a roach in person outside of a science classroom and I've been in some dingy places. Thank you for making me appreciate where I live a lot more OP! If they are those big ones I'd probably just toss them outside rather than kill them but I'm a pussy who doesnt like killing stuff and thinks bugs are cool. You should paint colored dots on the backs of ones you see and keep note of how often you see them and where, maybe give them names and little stories.

So roaches will thrive in everything from swamp to nuclear wasteland but not Oregon. This is good information.

I'm sure we're all disgusted by roaches, but did you know that roaches are just as disgusted by humans? They will immediately run and hide if they see a human, and if they've been touched by a human but escape, they'll wash themselves afterwards. They don't do this for all large animals, either, it seems they particularly hate humans, much like we hate them.

I thought I remember reading that roaches can flatten their disgusting terrifying bodies so that when you step on it there's less chance of killing it? Also apparently a handy trick for crawling through cracks and all that. The flying ones are the worst though, holy poo poo. Always the biggest and most aggressive...goddamn I hate roaches. Luckily my cat takes great joy in stalking and dismembering them, so sometimes I wake up to a thorax and a few legs scattered about

Maybe five years ago I filled out that Proust questionnaire that is in the back of "Vanity Fair," and one of the questions is something like "What do you think you'll come back as?" I said a roach. Roaches and I go way back. I've never kept one as a pet, but I've been very close to them all of my life. Then about a year ago I saw this! And I think I saw it here!  ???

I like the little spiders with the really thin legs. They spin their webs in nooks and crannies, go out and kill lots of other bugs and stay out of your way.
