Roaches
 

Anyone else infested with these horrible creepers?

They live on anything. Mold, fabric, any food, spilt booze, rotting wood, even old trees near your house. They come in and just don’t die.

Three times I woke up to one of those supersized bastards crawling on me. Raid, clean, bait, seal, fog—- they keep on coming. ****ing monsters.

well they have been around for like ever they are highly resilent soooo... ive never had a problem with them in my house thank god but every area is different

but they can be beat with a professional exterminator comes in a pretty much nukes your house and the area around it

Start sleeping with catnip.

I've never even seen one irl

Where do you live where you never seen one. Gee whiz even when I don't see them for days, I still have nightmares about them.

Yeah

It’s the surrounding area.

I’ve seen hundreds of them on a dead oak tree right outside my door.

Dafuq?

Never been some where with a roach problem other than the state fair. I know the battle with bed bugs and I have won the battle with bed bugs, resiliently, because I'm the ****, dude.

Now that's white privilege.

same

not sure if they’re around in canada or not

Plenty of cockroaches in the houses that I've lived in, though mercifully not often in my bedroom, which I maintain as a zero-tolerance zone, with the aid of mosquito screens and bug spray. Nevertheless, I've had a couple of experiences, the memories of which I try to repress, featuring that ghastly mutation, the flying cockroach. :yikes:

N.B. In England (where they barely exist) you have to say "cockroach" because for some reason "roach" is (or at least was) slang for the dead stub-end of a smoked joint, reefer, spliff or number, nowhatahmsayin? ;)

I've never seen one either.

^ Well, you're not missing out on much. I first saw one when I was about 35 years old and it's surprising how quickly curiosity turns into disgust. That's why I will not be clicking on Trollheart's link, thank you very much.

Dont worry, Lis: they're cartoons. And it's funny too.

Pictures really can't do justice to how revolting it is to see one skittering across your floor at half the speed of light. And yeah, it's a crime against nature that they can fly.

Why is this funny? I'm looking for a joke but I see nothing. Wait, "Roachford"? Haha. Ha. Ha. Die.

That is chilling.

It's almost worse that they can't fly particularly fast, because while they're fast enough to escape death if given a few seconds head start, the site of a flying cockroach anti-majestically rising into the air with all the horror of worms in animal excrement will make you recoil in panic so that they may very well be able to disappear into the gap of a cupboard.

.

Never seen one. Unless it's on the bottom of my shoe. I live in the PNW, aka the superior USA.

**** those bastards of evolution

Can we call the German cockroach the Hitleroach?

Jesus! You're just trying to give me nightmares now! Shudder!
What? Can't a flying cockroach have its own website?
I bet the German cockroaches made sure to eliminate all the Jewish cockroaches. The Insectocaust? Roachocaust?

If you're going to go with a bad roach/Holocaust joke then you can at least go for the painfully obvious "Insecticide".

This is why you're better than me. In every way. :bowdown:

The Third Roach?

Arbeit Macht Froach

Gestaproach

I hate roaches.
When you live in Florida, they're unavoidable though.

I used to hang out with a hippie chick who helped me handle being around them a little better but they used to really gross me out, especially the big ones that fly.

That one segment in the original Creepshow totally ****ed with me when I was a kid, I think. I'm a horror movie buff though. Or maybe just that they really are like everywhere here. Basically if you don't keep raid or some roach motels on hand in Florida, you're gonna have a bad time.

Someone should run for governor on a kill the bugs platform

Fire ants, roaches, and skeeters.

Let the ecosystem crumble - **** all of those

^ Ugh! Been there, done that: the only thing worse than seeing a flying cockroach in the bedroom is when you can't see it anymore.

Because roach is also a slang word, imo, the reduction of cockroach should be 'roach with apostrophe. Any comments before I complain to Yac that Occult Hawk has his thread title wrong?

It's been that way around here too for as long I've known what weed is.

I haven't seen the bug form in a long time though.
