What a dumb idea. Woke up to something crawling in my hair, and couldn;t stop screaming even after I go it out. Pulled back the sheets only to find another one in there! Only think worse was the rat in bed with me a couple months ago out in the mountains! How will we survive??

Kellie, thanks for the advice on killing those dratted "things" (they don't deserve to be named), and keeping them away. John thinks we should leave the carcasses around as a warning to the other cockroaches, but "our" ants keep carrying them away to some unknown lair before you know it... eek! Tara- I relate to the mother lioness protection! Yeah, using the hubby's shoes is the way to go! See you soon. Gavin, thanks for the research… and I will keep smooshing them with willful vengence.

I agree with you Rachel: S-I-C-K! I've nary had the 'pleasure' (or shall we say disgust) of making my place in the food chain known with the 'roaches. But if I have to one day, you've inspired me to do what I have to do (and use Gavin's shoes). I'm the official spider-killer around this household. Gavin doesn't scream like a little girl or anything, but he does get the heebie-jeebies when they sneak up on him. I kinda like chances to let that momma-lioness protection out in concrete ways. Spiders and cockroaches BEWARE!!! Can't WAIT to see you on Saturday! Love, Tara ps. I've been using a mooncup (maybe not the same brand, but the same idea) for 4 years now so if you have any questions ask away...in a personal email or in person though:) Girl talk, you know;) It’s Tara now and I just read everything and every post from top to bottom.

SO I did some research. Turns out we are both right. They are very maticulous at cleaning themselves, they need to continually keep the hairs on their bodies clean in order for them to be "lean-mean stealth machines" as the author put it. But they also harbour a plethera of diseases in their intestinal tract. SO be aware that those suckers are spreading their nasty germs everywhere, but as I don't want to continue to gross you out with this talk, I won't tell you anything else, Only this If I were you whenever you see one, smash it into smitherines.

How can that be when they come up drains and swim in toilets? What a contradiction! Anyway, since you asked, I've included a small pic of a cockroach--John wants me to say that this one is a baby compared to some of these suckers.

Oh, I am sure you know this but, cockroaches are actually one of the cleanest insects. However their intrusion is not to be tolerated and you need to smoosh. smoosh, smoosh!!!!. May God give you courage to kill those little(or big) suckers at every encounter. God bless If you had a picture I would love to see it.
