What do you hate most about cockroaches?

I don't think I've ever seen one in real life (thankfully), but here are some things that WOULD freak me out if I did see one: 1.) HOW THEY MOVE - fast and scuttley (I don't think that's a word.. But if it was a word, it would be made specifically for cockroaches!) 2.) THEIR SIZE - they look HUGE! 3.) The fact that they can outlast a nuclear war (doesn't anyone else find this a bit scary?)

WOW how creapy,, I have learned alot from these posts. I did not no that roaches stink, or can fly....what do they smell like? these critters are so nasty....

The creature which live with out head for eight days. The sound that makes in the night which is little scary for me.

besides them keep coming despite how many you kill, they FLY!!! those big ones. I hate them when the fly because they aim at your face!!!

I really detest them - they stink up the whole place, crawly creepy looking, and if one should get caught in my hair or among my bed covers (when I'm in bed), I could scream the whole house down! I!

The most I hate about them is that they keep coming back crawling on your food after visiting the toilet...hehehe

First off, I hate that they move so fast...that freaks me out. Second, I hate that they get into EVERYTHING! Third, it freaks me out knowing that they will crawl in your ears or mouth while your sleeping. Thankfully in our apartment we don't have them so I don't have to deal with them.

Perhaps its look. It looks horrible, disgusting and dirty. If it flies, it will much more scary. I love China

I guess the idea that it crawls and that it flies and that they are everywhere even in the dirtiest area of your house that makes a cockroach most hated.

I really wonder, how on the earth i am responding such a dictation, as i am even afraid of hearing the word, ***** (i dont even want to type it), totally its just disgusting and frightening and some major issues issues have hapnd in my life because of ***...but thats the reason i am making my daughter friendly with all insects, she infact catches ****, i am quite quite that she is not repulsive and that is quite a different aspect that many of us dont have

I hate those things and I do not want them anywhere near me neither. I have seen them before in this womens house where I was babysitting and it was so gross. I never babysat there again. Take care and happy mylotting to you as well.

To me, they are just visually repulsive. Their legs have jagged little spikes sticking out of them, and their bodies have little armored sections that wiggle around. I don't know what's worse, the young nymphs that have no wings, or the adults that can fly. Either way, I'd rather see a good old American Cockroach, than a German Cockroach any day. The German cockroaches are usually what you get from being extremely dirty- they're smaller, faster, and are extremely hard to get rid of. American Cockroaches are a natural phenomenon in many parts of the United States, like Florida. It's hard to explain to people from the northern U.S, that seeing a cockroach in a southern state is about as common as seeing a dog. I rarely see them in my home, but only because we live in a rural area that is plentiful with the Huntsman Spider. Cockroaches are a favorite food of these huge spiders- so you either have the spiders, or the ugly roaches! I really hate seeing both, but I'd personally rather have the spider and know that it's "on patrol"!
