Roaches roaches everywhere! Run?

Well, I know you are not going to believe me, but that's ok, I'm going to tell this story anyway. I was living in a residential hotel in San Francisco once that was horror movieishly overrun with cockroaches. They were taking over the entire building. If I walked in my room at night and switched on the light my walls transformed right before my very eyes from brown to white. One night I had had all I could take and I couldn't take anymore so I sat down in the middle of my floor and went into a sort of trance. I was looking for the 'cockroach wavelength'. I found it. It was a very high and fast vibration, and I projected into that vibration the intention to never see them again. I communicated to them that I respected their right to survival the same as anything else, but that I did not want to see them in my space anymore. This was not done in words but in mental and emotional concepts. I swear to you that I never saw any more of them, other than the occasional straggler scurrying away! Another place I lived when my son was just learning to walk was an apartment building in Hollywood, CA, and it had a cockroach problem. One morning I walked in the kitchen to find my son sitting on the floor squishing them with his fingers!!! Fortunately I haven't seen a cockroach in years and years.

Hello, mommyboo! Roaches? I'm indiferent to them. They are just like ants to me. The difference is that they are faster. There are ants really fast, but their size put them in a bad condition. Now, there are fast roaches aswell. And I kill them with a quick stomp, no screaming nor anything. There are roaches that can fly, they are a bit more hard to kill because they are usually flying in the height of your head. Throwing your sandals against them can just be too dangerous! What if you hit something, like a vase? It's better to wait until they get back on the floor, and SPLAT! Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I don't like roaches so I use RAID to terminate them. But where I live there is no roaches at all. Only black widows which makes it worse or risky when going in the back yard, shed or in the garage. If you think roaches are bad where you live you should see the ones in the philippines. They are a lot bigger and they fly in your way and can group up in hundreds during the hot night.

I pick it up wiht a kleenex and run it down the sonk with hot water! Bt then I find where they come form and use pesticide (natural, organic..but I use it) and try to eliminate them. Also, once a month I set off a bug bomb thingy. They run out of the walls (if you see one, you already have them breeding in the walls, along wiht spiders an other bugs!) and when they run out of the walls, I scoop them up and put them in a plastic bag and far away from the home, so trash can pick them up and get them out of here! Once you see one, you hav to realy go after them. Never leave a wet sink at night..wipe ti down so they won't get water. make sure all counters are clean at night and no dishes are left out. (NO crumbs.) If you have to...call a bug service..even if it's only once? Not alot and they can spray around for you and it helps. Roaches creep me out! I alway work to eliminate them!

Well, I love killing roaches! Hehe! I usually spray the hell out of them with our trusty insecticide. Or when I'm really annoyed, I stomp on them or squish the living daylight out of them with a shoe or sandal. Haha. Messy but, I can't let them just lurk around the house. Kill Kill Kill. I hate roaches too. Those who fly around I even hit them with a broom or anything useful. My sister screams a lot though when she sees them. Hehe.

Everytime I saw a roaches, I stepped on it, twisting my foot to crush it, the after that, I'll clean up. Because using an insecticide is not effective because those egg roaches is becoming immune to the insecticide you uses. The best thing to do is, use a different kinds of insecticides. 2 or more is better to use. :D

LOL!! i am not scared of bugs. i mean i don't want to live with them, but if i see one i am not going to go screaming in the other room. i will just kill it and move on to what i was doing. i have never seen one the size of my hand though. i think that would make me go running and screaming out the house!!

I will hunt the cockroach, holding either a can of pest killer spray, or sth to hit it hard :). Then I will get rid of the corpse and go on. I dont understand why people feel weird with cockroach. It might be cos they make that awful sound when they are stepped on :P

I shout and run (for my dear life,lol),specially the flying ones,it brings goose bumps even just remembering those days back home.Same as you are, get all commando (with my sisters help),armed with slippers and sweeper-attack.Just imagine how we laugh after winning the battle.

we do not have roaches here. If you do see them they are very small. I would call the bug guys and get rid of them. They multiply so fast. I think they are hard to get rid of once you get them. I think they travel from house to house to. yuck , no thanks.

Roaches. What are they here for? I think I have a phobia of them!! One time it took me 30 MINUTES to kill just one!! And it wasn't even all that big. But I tell yah, I hate 'em!! I usually scream and think of tactics on how to kill it. I think I've improved, because I used to go tell my parents about it and have them kill it. But now, me and my mom have a system. I get rid of the baby lizards, and she kills the roaches. It works beautifully. =D

i just like to grab my can of raid and go to work. my boyfriend is a roach hunter if he sees one, he assumes there are more and before i know it he starts opening al the cabinets around the house and he starts spraying.i dont know how he did it but one night i went into the kitchen after he had finished and i saw a huge pile of roaches in the middle of the kitchen floor.

well when i first moved into my old aptment we had roaches there and what i did was bomb the place out.we didnt even unpack anything so it was easier.we opened all the doors all the cabinets,made sure all the windows were closed and then we put the sprays in each room and bombed it out.we stayed at my dads for the day.then i came back without everyone and cleaned down everything.well let me tell u after that i never saw another one.and this sprayed kill all bugs not just roaches.i hope this helps you.and if u see one roach im sure there r more.alot more.

Years ago I was working in a restaurant and went to use the phone. When I got to the phone there was a roach sitting on it. I went to the back, grabbed my purse and walked out. Nothing grosses me out like a roach. They are the creepiest thing I've ever seen lol.

Well, luckily for me, it has been many yrs. since I have seen any, and I am glad for that one. I actually live in an area now that is more damp than anything else a lot of the yr. so unless a person is really FILTHY, and tracked roaches in from somewhere else you do not see any. But back when I used to live in Eastern WA, I did see them from time to time, and they are grouse looking. I even knew someone that had them crawling so thick thru her place that they crawled in her Microwave, etc. It was totally grouse, but since she never cleaned her place up even using a Bomb only killed the Big ones, and not the Eggs so she constantly had them. For me, I would Love to never see one again anywhere. But if I do, I will SCREAM, and get someone else to help kill them if I can.

roll a newspaper ... no dont worry, i dont squash it, lol .. roll a newspaper and block its way and drag it out of the house, so i dont have to kill it AND its out of my way. Now, if it had been on me, or my clothes or something, i do grab a bug reppelent spray as well. They dareth not touch me :P

Whenever I see one, I panic at first but then I regain composure and just kill the dang thing with a shoe, a can of raid, or newspaper. Anything that I can get my hands on. They are very disgusting. They are the worst intruders.
