fvking waterbugs!!! or whatever the hell they are

[raildogg]

what should I do about these enormous cockroaches? these things are either waterbugs or huge ass cockroaches.

i just saw one on my kitchen counter, i saw another one a few days ago on the kitchen floor and another one in a bedroom. since we moved into a new apartment type condo, basically a house but split, these things have been appearing. when we first moved in, they weren't here. but lately, it seems like a lot of them have moved in

is there a special treatment for these?

i'm about ready to call the exterminators

Exterminators probably best option.

yup, you can spray everything with the new ortho home defense and spread granular pestiside on your yard, but if your neighbors have them they'll keep coming back quickly without professionals pestisides.

those things are nasty... some fly too...

i had one unknowingly come up from my chair leg and crawl across my back when i was like 10... creepy pinching crawler legs back and forth on my back as I was freaking out and it was trying to look for a way to safety away from me but couldnt.

they are this one, except bigger, black and more legs i think, not sure about the legs part

actually, this one looks a lot like the huge ass waterbugs i've been seeing around this house for the past 8 months. again, they are black and huge

More legs would make them a non-bug.

I hear that their bite is quite painful. Got them up in New York too, at least in the Adirondacks.

hell no!

Earwigs, centipedes and spiders are about it.

Did see a roach after my filthy neighbors moved in next door(apt building and a shared wall). Haven't seen one since I fogged the place though.

 

[Mrvile]

You guys don't get silverfish?

We get those damn things all the time time here in suburban Cleveland...they love hiding in the bathroom and other dark, damp places around the house. :|

I thought it was an aquatic bug. I like aquatic bugs, esp water scorpians.

Roaches crawl up pipes.
