Just crawled out of my sink. O.M.F.G. I hate roaches..

damn thing was like 4 inches long, no lie.

How do I make sure I dont see any more of his kind around? We keep a very clean kitchen...never any dishes in the sink, food left out, etc.

4 inches? Stop lying!

The largest species of cockroaches reach just 3 to 3.5 inches in length.

And I leave you with pics of the Madagascan Hissing Cockroach (one of the largest at 2-3 inches).

Two words: Boric Acid ...

But you do have to do a light dusting of it. They get it on themselves, bring it back to the nest, and the rest is history.

If it's a random big one than it's probably a good (well better) sign than if it were small (i.e. young/baby). The small ones should have you worried bc it means they are breeding in your house... hooray!

^^ Maybe you need to learn how big an inch is and/or improve your length estimation skills?

it's tww, we constantly call things that are 4-5 inches, 6-8 inches.

Pour a cup of bleach down your drains.

i don't know what it is about roaches, but they are one of the few things that induce nausea on sight

1/4/2010 8:30:12 PM

i could MAYBE handle a snake if you told me it was there.
