I'm from New Orleans, they don't get any bigger than that. I am quite quick with the shoe. Also, if you pour dish detergent on them, that will kill them without spreading poison around. I had to get aggressive, as when I asked my husband to do it, he would sort of lightly tap the roach, and then it would scurry away, and he would report, "I scared it." Yeah, to go lay a million eggs. So I took over, and there always seemed to be at least one shoe lying around in every room.
Very familiar with N.O. And I'll have to remember the detergent trick. Beats the pick em up with 100 wadded up paper towels trick.
Reading through your thread, had to leave a comment about the small bird-like insects that are palmetto bugs since I live in the Palmetto state. I instantly had a flashback w/ my W. She is almost blind w/o her glasses and had not one but two in the shower w/ her. She pulled down the shower curtain bar and everything. (a few years ago)
Thanks for the support today.

Will,
I can only imagine the wailing that would have been going on at my house!
Hey- I had the job of spider-killer in our house (we don't have cockroaches, thank god, I've never even seen one before)- where was my bugkiller-in-shining-armor?
