I was just reading an article about how to kill roaches and the nasty habits, etc. of roaches and I am grossed out so bad right now!! One thing they said was that for every one roach you see there are probably 47,525 more of them in your walls just waiting to come out. OMG!! Also, it said that they can bite you too and the bites are nasty. And that cockroaches sometimes get moisture from your eyes and nose while you sleep if they are dehydrated enough. Also, it said if you kids go to bed and have any food on their mouth, etc. that you are just asking for a cockroach to bite them. That is just so disgusting! Here is a link to the website - check it out and see what I am talking about!http://www.hawaii411.com/articles/cockroach.asp

OOhhh! Thats not just nasty. Thats really nasty!!LOL I know that there ar lots of roaches so I think that killing one wont matter to them since they have strenght in their numbers and I think anyone of them wont be missed by all the rest. I didnt know that they can get water from our eyes and our noses. How do they do that especially when we are asleep and what do you mean when they are dehydrated enough? I know that they can bite though and Ive been bitten by one. You wont really feel it. Well I guess actually you do feel it but you wont know that its a cockroach because when they bite you it kinda feels like just a nasty red ant bit you. You'll know it s a cockroach when the bite mark swells a lot larger than the average ant. Most ant bites leave just an itchy small bump but cockroach bites actually do swell up and are a bit itchy. They are usually warm to the touch because of the swelling and Im telling you from experience that it doesnt go away that easy. Usually takes a few days before it goes back to its normal size.

Well at least you didnt get to see it for yourself right? Otherwise you would have been grossed out until now. What you dont know cant hurt you(psychologically, emotionally at least). As for comparison I havent been bitten by spiders so I cant really tell you the difference. Well I hope you stomach all of this. Im glad to say that that bite happened when I was a kid and our old place was a bit open and there was a huge population of cockroach. Now, in our house of 5 years, I dont get to see cockroaches that much anymore. Only an occasional one or two when its going to rain or something. (Did you know that cockroaches tend to come out and fly around when its going to rain? Dont know why..) In our old house I see cockroaches and rats at least once a day. Well, keep safe and always clean your house.^_^

Well I do not know anybody who loves these insects at all. Everybody hates it but they are just survivors as it is is even said that they could survive a nuclear blast and radiation too. Would you believe that all of us people are dying from that blast and these roaches still exist and maybe feasting more on us.

omg thats disgusting! ive always heard that for every ONE roach you see there are 100 in the walls, but id never heard 47,525!!!! thats freaking horrifying!
and just to let you know and of course to extend my thanks ahead of time..i will now be having nightmares about roaches crawling on my face for moisture and food bits!! lol!
the really scary and LUCKY for us thing..is that there are so damn many of them worldwide..they could easily take over control of the world from humans...luckily they arent that smart..unless they are just biding their time.

thats why sometimes i am thinking if this are the roaches they use on fear factors or some reality shows that they will let this disgusting insects crawl on your body. i hate roaches too. i bought a odorless roach spray killer so if i spot one i can spray it at the roaches without hurting my nose with the fumes.
