Still nothing compared to the roaches we got in Ecuador. Brazilian cockroach, anyone?

LOL

95% of the roaches in my house are that big. All roaches of that kindl get that big but never any bigger.

And you guys with your RAID. Congrats, you just poisoned your house. Maybe you will injest some of it too. A shoe works fine and it isn't toxic.

not from my area. i mentioned above i've been out in the "boonies" and seen much bigger, but this completely scared the sh!t out of me because the ones here (Hawaii Kai) rarely get to be over an inch before I find and smash them.

 

[whistleclient]

the bug i found a couple weeks ago beats up your bug and takes his lunch money.

i call him Simon.

there's nothing there for size comparison.

 

[mobobuff]

You're 'sposed to grab it by the legs/antennae with some needle-nose pliers and then put it over a small flame. They scream


And stink.

 

[Azraele]

These are bigger.

 

[dquan97]

just use a shoe

THEY'RE EATING A HUMAN FINGER!!! OMFGBARF!!!

Wait.. it's a carrot.. nevermind.

 

[AdamSnow]

Sick.

I do not know what I would do if I EVER saw one of those in my house.

 

[nakedfrog]

Yeah, I got inured to american cockroaches after seeing the ones we had in Japan.

 

[LongAce]

You got this in your home? I haven't seen a rouch that big since I was in college.

 

[skace]

Am I the only one that has never delt with cockroaches? Seriously you people talk like you fight for your living space with these things. The biggest insect I deal with is a lady bug or a moth. Ok maybe a spider or beetle, but none of these fvcking beasts.

 

[glugglug]

In Tampa, the roach in the OP would be considered small.

Seen many in the 4-6" range, and much fatter.

Yup, those are bigger.. they're also of a different species (Madagascar hissing cockroach.. they move a little slower than the OP's roach but make hissing noises if you pick them up). Hooray for bio class.

Raid = Poison. Shoe = Eggs. Acetone = awesome. Seriously, they melt under some acetone spray. Nail polish remover should do the trick. Plus it evaporates, so no mess!
