My house is ****ing infested with them I kill about one or two a day
and we have put down all sots of poisons and other things.
My belief is that if I keep stepping on them eventually I will get them all.
Good luck with that. One female carries about forty eggs in one sack, and about eight sacks in one life, do the math. Call pest control.
So basically I am wacked
Blah!!! Cockroaches are pure, clean and innicent!!! Think of them as your very own little pets!! They just wanna live with you!!! :D:D:D:D
clean your house top to bottom. open up all cabinets, and the put a couple of roach bombs, which should kill, you know, about half of them since you can't kill em all. Clean up the house and get rid of the dead roaches. Put some boric acid lining the back of cabinets, back of fridge. Also, maintain your house clean. Sinks, wipe up, or not they'll feed of the dirty water. Dry up your bathroom after you're done and clean up after you eat.
Cut off their food and water and they'll eventually be controlled. You can't kill roaches or really get rid of them 100%. The cleanest house has roaches, but whether they'd be visible or not, well yeah.
Or call pest control. They'd kill a good 95% of them. The rest be up to you though.
I'll try a few of those suggestions
...Aren't some types of cockroach edible?
You could save on food bills... :p:
;)
My house also has roaches, and more lately, ants. They're living in the walls, and every time you spray their nest(s) they just pop up somewhere else in the house.
We need to get it sprayed, but since my mum is so sensitive to that sort of stuff (and I don't really feel like breathing in poisonous chemicals myself), we all need to clear out for at least a few days to do so.
It sucks, dude :(
My house is near a forest and so we always have spiders making webs all over the place. I kill a lot of them. But we don't waste time trying to get ride of them, because more will come in anyways :(
We have pest control come into our apartment every two or three weeks. In the two years I've been living here I've seen about three live spiders and one dead cockroach. Pest control is the way to go.
I have never really been comfortable with the idea of filling my living area with poisons, and pestisides.
I've only seen about two spiders where I live in the last 3 years. No cockroaches. No flies. No mosquitoes. The only shocking encounter I really had was a raccoon chillin' on my couch and a deer in the kitchen that just stared at me when I came through the door. I had mountain lions on the yard all the time in Montana. Used to throw water balloons at them.
I haven't ever seen a cockroach in my house. Mainly, it's spiders. And mosquitoes. And wasps. And ants.

Not too far from the ocean. It's about an hour's drive away, if even that.
I couldn't believe the fukken mosquitos in Florida. They were the size of DOGS.
Here in the desert, I see scorpions, centepedes, and spiders more than anything else. There are a few mosquitos, which are usually really small anyway.
Don't kill them. Why don't you just move? That way you can put your problems on someone else. That would be richeous!
I got ant problems in my house. It sucks. At least they're not in my room. Cause I got so many old dishes laying on my floor.
Those pesky insects, how dare they share the planet with us!
I've been having some mice problems recently, which is odd because they usually come in the winter. And it's really creepy when I hear them in my room. That's the only pest we have in our house. Well, beside from a millipede once.
Ask yourself "what would Willard do?"
I actually found something awesome the other day. See, we also have a slight ant problem in addition to the occasional mouse, and so while the mice go around eating all the ants off the floor it was also eating detergent out of the carpet from when the washing machine overflowed the other day.
So I went into the kitchen and there's a mouse dead on its back in the middle of the carpet. And there are ants all over it, swarming the thing, eating into its stomach (and probably out of it) and getting the most awesome revenge.
I recently got rid of most of them I'm not seeing the roaches any more
Kill yourself. Thats the only way out of it.
[quote=Bebop]Kill yourself. Thats the only way out of it.Don't do that, you'll only give them extra food to help multiply. ;)
Obviously, the answer is to burn down your house.
I think the most permanent solution is not only to burn down your house and kill yourself, but also to kill your family and burn down their houses to prevent further infestations.
find a cockroach and decapitate it. Apparently they can live pretty long without a head. Prove it.
When I was with me gal in the Americas I had my first encounter with one of these hellcritters. -_-
First one I just saw on the wall, so I couldn't close my eyes, because every time I did it moved. :(
Finally I fell asleep and never saw that one again.
Second encounter was several weeks later, we were just playing a game when all of a sudden from nowhere this freaking rouacherbug comes flying straight into my head.
I about crapped my pants.
Later we killed the sucker, which took over 10 thumps a shoe, and after that he still moved...
Only happy thing about being in Sweden again is that we don't have no cockroaches, yay. :)
I read somewhere that the brain of a cockroach is inside the body, not the head. The only reason it dies after the head is cut off is because it can't eat.
