I hate these things. I swear that every year they get bigger and more aggresive. I have found that if I put a thin line of 7 dust all the way around the house on the outside, I get a lot less of them in the house. I put it right up against the foundation.

They love to roam, fly, and sometimes crawl into bed with you. I think they were originally from Africa so they are American in name only.The only good thing I can say is that the summers I see more than few of them, I generally see less of the other kinds of roaches.

I almost voted these guys neutral to curry favor (in case I survive the last nuclear war)
These guys are bold! They aren't like northern cockroaches--they hang out in the open, even in the full sun. And the northern cockroaches didn't scare my cats, but these sure do!
If they aren't already South Carolina's state bird, they should be.
...You never know ;-)
