Cockroaches are known for the most disgusting creature since the start of time. Why can't we eliminate these beings? In fact even nuclear radiation can't kill these beings. Talking about size, we're million times bigger than these insects but what mad them really creep us? Maybe the looks? Their ugly appearance or the germs that they bring? So are you afraid of them? If you'll ask me Im not just afraid of roaches..I'm terrified at them. Can't imagine someone looking shiny but ugly and at the same time creepy. Also, their ooze just stinks like you'll be traumatized for a really long time. I don't know with you but these creatures should be extinct and humans shouldn't co-exist with these insects.

Damn they really are disgusting. Also had this experience when I was on my way home from work then I stood at a corner that has manhole and that same afternoon it was raining really hard though I had my earphones and umbrella. When the flood arises these creatures climbed on my back inside my shirt and inside my bag. I freaked out!!! That I threw my umbrella and remove my shirt in the middle of the flooded road and I went berserk and kept on cursing until all of them are gone. Even the other people that are waiting for the transpo freaked out as well. That's the most disgusting experience ever in my entire life.

yayy! I really really dread these dirty and creepy creatures! Especially when I see them flying around, I can't explain how I feel, I feel like I'm going to die if they land on me... I am very much aware of the diseases they can cause to human beings.
I hide under my blanket, shout for help and desperately freaked out....

wow everyone seems to hate roaches, they have been on earth when dinosaurs were around and eliminating these "bugs" would also unbalance the life cycle. Yes they are ugle and gross and creepy and there ooz stinks but you have to understand that these are a part of the world, and it wouldnt be a walk in the park taking these OUT of our world, there are millions and possibly billions of roaches all over the world, some are tiny and some are huge.More to the point roaches are a part of the life cycle and that the female roach normally lay up to 30 to 40 roaches at a time. These are a pain and really gross and all but taking these bugs out is gonna be 1 biggie.

I am terrified of roaches. Thank God, I do not have that problem. If I had to kill one, I would grab the nearest spray can and spray them with it. I do not think I could ever step on one.
I lived in an apartment when I first had my son, my husband was away in the military. One day I saw one in my kitchen, and it was after midnight, I wrapped my son up and drove eight miles to my parents house. My mother said I was taking a bigger risk, driving that late alone, than if I would have just killed the roach. Then of course the next day I was afraid to go home, because I did not know where it had gone.

gross... They are really disgusting. I always run when I saw them. Unless I had a full bottle of insecticide sprayer to kill them. The worst moment were then after the flood, the roaches are all on the surface because they need to save themselves from the water. And I saw like a hundreds in a colony not too far from my house, and that was the time I call for the exterminator.

But still we are afraid with them. But there is some people don't afraid with, I don't how can the will disgusted with it. One of them is my grandma, she can catch the crockrach with his bear hand and throw it outside my house.

Yeah I can't imagine those people that are not afraid of them. I don't know what kind of stomach they have. I also have a friend that he can even sleep soundly knowing that there's roaches around his bedroom. This just proves the point that there are other people that is fearless with ugly and disgusting beings. I'm glad i'm not one of them. Lol. Thanks. Happy posting.

I am not afraid of them. Spiders definitely yes but cockroaches no. I think they are filthy and disgusting little creatures but they don't scare me. I am scared of the thought of having them in my house because I hear they are hard to get rid of once you get them.

Well me, I'm not afraid of spiders. Maybe because Stan Lee "Marvel" created Spiderman..Lol. It's kinda like a psychological thing for me. Also, I havent heard of superhero that is based from a roach or any other pest beside this. Happy Posting.

You can say that again! I can't stand cockroaches. They just gross me out and I can't stand them. if i find them in the house, I freak out and take out the canister of insecticide to hunt them down. I turn the house upside down just to find one little roach! My hubby think that I am obssessed with these things and to some extent, maybe he is right.

I'm not afraid of cockroaches or their bigger cousins the waterbug I'm just not fond if I see them in my home. Years ago my apt. was literally crawling with them...solution? A LOT of roach baits...those really seem to do the trick...The only time I'd be freaked out by a waterbug was when I'd be reaching in the cabinet under the sink and one would accidentally crawl on my hand...ekkkk! And it takes forever trying to kill those blasted things. Well I doubt they'll ever become extinct though...they are among the earth's oldest living creatures....I think when they first evolved they were much, much larger than they are now....

I am terified of roaches but I'm willing to squish them if I have to. They are gross... I mean they crunch when you squeesh them and when they run they run really fast for something that small! And some can fly and some scream... I mean they are so nasty! I always flush the toilet before I sit down because there are cockroaches that just chill out below the toilet seat -- I always check lol!

Oh I also despised them like no other. Though with my size and built I just can't squish or step on them if I'm in my normal state. I have to be drunk before I can actually kill these creatures otherwise I call someone to do it for me. Thanks. Happy posting.

I am also very, very terrified of them!...just the thought of them make my stomach turn...I even hate seeing them on TV...I've never had roaches in any home I lived in so that may be why I'm so scared of them now...

That's good if you live in houses that is free from roaches. The technique is just that you make your house and surroundings clean at all times. These creatures really like dirty and ugly places. Their weird. I do agree with you I can't even stand them even in pictures or tv. Thanks. Happy posting.

Me? Afraid of roaches and cockroaches? ::chuckles nervously:: Well let me make one thing clear and straight once and for all, and I apologize in advance:
NOT ONLY AM I AFRAID OF THOSE NASTY LITTLE PESTS, BUT I ABSO-BLEEPING-LUTELY HATE and I repeat, HATE THEM COMPLETELY!!!!
GAAAAAHHHH!!!!
My hatred and complete disdain for such insects knows NO bounds at all!
And to make matters worse and rubbing salt in the wound, I LIVE IN A FRIGGIN' HOUSE THAT'S FRIGGIN' INFESTED WITH THEM!!!
Besides, even if they survived nuclear radiation, they'd still be a nuisance for any other lifeforms in the future to deal with.
If God made these things as well as he did with other living things, then he must have a sick sense of humor, one that isn't funny in the long run.

LOL =D Yup, i'm scared of roaches, to the extend of not daring to kill them too.. haha.. They are a nuisance to most ple and though they are so small, but they just make alot of ple be scare of them..
Maybe it's their long feelers and dark colors with the big eye on the head, makes it look so disgusting.. haha =D WHat's worse for me is that, there's a cockroach house inside my house and they will come out every night, roaming in the kitchen for food.. lol =D
And there's no way to exterminate them totally...

Im scared of spiders and roaches. I cant even bring myself to squash them with my shoe. I dont want to walk around with roach guts under my shoe. My school is full of roaches. You can find them walking down the hallway and in the bathroom especially in the old part of the buliding.

We may and well get used to them, they are saying that they will be here till the end of time and then some. I can't stand the little turds, I will chase a roach all over the house, pull out draws, go under the bed, It will be like a war zone when I finish. I keep down boric acid for my little pests. I am trying now one of those rid x things that send send some kind of sound through the wires. I hope it works, here we have those big waterbugs, called cockroaches.

I do not dislike cockroach but usually I scared by them if they fly or approach by you, cockroach is normal in your home. God created cockroach maybe they have uses, but they have germs. Spiders that I most because they are in my bathroom but usually
they don't bite you if you do not touch them. Cockcroach are small they don't have treat, if they are giant maybe:)

I am extremely terrified of these creatures, why? I can think back to an incident in elementary school when I was sitting on desk during play time chatting with friends and all of a sudden this ROACH appears out of nowhere crawling up my leg!! ARE YOU SERIOUS? From that day to this one I have been terrified of them. I think its more so scary to me because no matter where you are it seems like they just magically appear, theres no warning or nothing. I'm getting itchy and paranoid as I speak of them now...YUCK!!
