Ok..here's the thing.. I It's common to find cockroaches and rats inside our house.. But I am so dead scared with cockroaches.., that I find rats less irritating and harmful..s o when I see one of those running around.. I don't freak out.. unlike cockroaches that it makes me jump to the highest area just to stay away from their ugly faces..hahaha.. My boyfriend is opposite.. He is scared of rats.. so it is an advantage for us.., we can protect each other from our enemies.. He kills the cockroaches for me and I'll shoo away the rats.. Lately.., they are getting to my nerves!!! Those rats are getting way too comfy./. Even if I'm on front of the computer with a candy bar on my side they will run for it..! imagine.. I don't hate them that much but i don't want them to get near my food!!! I'm starting to get annoyed..really!!!

Ok. Rats are cute, to me. But the diseases they carry are not cute. However, they are lives too. We can shoo them away but just don't kill them. The most you can do is not to leave your food around. And this is the time when I say: mop the floor.

I don't like both cockroaches and rats! They're both getting into my nerves. We usually have cats in our house to take care of the rats.

I hate rats. Once it bites my washing machine from underneath and spoil the whole washing machine. Sometimes, it eats my cooking oil and any other food it finds. Furthermore, they came out at night and the bitting sound really makes me crazy... How i wish those mice would be vanished and never again appear in front of me.

How terrible for you! I don't have cockroaches or rats. I use an exterminator. Occasionally we might get some field mice inside the house when it gets real cold outside. But a little extra rat bait, and they are quickly gone. I would freak out completely if a rat was running to get my candy bar! Even though you are not afraid of the rats, as someone else has said, they are disease carriers. So, be aware of that. I wish you luck in getting rid of both the cockroaches and the rats.

You're not alone my friend..i too am very annoyed by these small dirty creatures. We really make it sure that all the possible passage at home are really close and seal all the food at home so that if ever they can get inside they won't be having much to eat and would only find our home not suitable for them to stay. Unfortunately, i can still see them running around our house. And it's not good for visitors to see them. Actually, we thought we had already gotten rid of them by placing a mouse trap everywhere and place poison on left over foods and leave it near the garbage so they can eat it and die the following day..but still after a few months we can see them again. So we search for possible passageways but really can't find any. Good thing we will be transferring to another home soon so i home i won't get to see them running around the house or even near my food.

I hate cockroaches more than rats, but I hate rats when they bit my things. I hate the way it stinks and the way the run around the place... For me Rats doesn't harm you if you don't harm them. ;P

Hi deve_annrn! Personally, I hate those creatures and I can't imagine having or living with them inside my house...I find them really, really dirty(sorry guys[to those pet lovers of rats=(]). And if I will have to encounter these insects at home, I'll freak out!I'm a tear jerker at times when I get shocked or caught off guard!Well, automatically they will be get rid(or get killed)...by my househelper exterminator!LOL!=) On the other hand, I guess it's time for you to do a general cleaning of your place now, it's not so healthy to have those pests around especially if you have kids in the house living with you.=) Gudluck and More power to you!=)

here the solution, go but some rat trap or the sticky paper something like that. and put some bait and wait for the rats to get trap. works for me. there gone after putting traps in all the dark places under the bed, closet and stairs, but if you talking about the big rats ow it may not work you may see them running with the paper on the LOL.. peace!!!

Well I think on your dilemma you should consider a major general cleaning in your house! You should consider it because its the sign that your house is not way to safe to live and consider it also the risk on having diseases cause by the rats and cockroaches. It helps to clean your house to lessen the infestation of the problem! As for me I really hate cockroaches especially the flying ones!

I seriously can't sleep if I find out that there's a rat/cockroach in my room. Cockroaches are something that I'm really scared of because they fly. But the only reason why I prefer to see cockroaches than rats is because I can kill them. I can just grab a slipper or anything to hunt for the cockroach and slap it away. Although its hard, at least I can if I really want to sleep. Unlike with rats, I'm super scared as in to the exaggeration level. Once I see a rat, sometimes I can't even move because my eyes are glued on where the rat is, scared that it might go away there. I've heard sayings like you should not kill a rat by slapping them or something because they will get back to you by eating your clothes lol.. Don't know about that stuff but all I know is I can't dare to get near a rat. They are just so annoyingly fast and scary.

Cockroaches are a lot like rats in that they gravitate towards places where there might be food laying around. I'm not at all saying you're a messy person - I once lived in an apartment that had a roach problem, not the big huge roaches, the smaller breed that run really fast. My place was always clean and disinfected. When they would become a problem I would have maintenance come and spray and they would be gone for a month or so and then come right back. I later learned that the people that lived above me we awful housekeepers, so much so in fact, that when they moved out, the carpet had to be ripped up and there were people going in there with Tyvek suits on to clean the place up. I have never had any personal experience with rats, but if you want to try to rid your house of the pests there are great products out there today (sprays, traps etc...) that can help eliminate them! Good luck!
