I live in San Antonio, TX and the far...Okay people. I live in San Antonio, TX and the farther south you travel, (I believe) the larger, uglier and more aggressive the buggers become. I have been keeping my drain plugs pulled to and until tonight that has seemed a successful method of keeping them at bay. HOWEVER, around three this morning (in the dead of night as it were) I walked into my bath and there IT was on the wall, near the ceiling. Oh, why is it that they are always somewhere that they can fall from, freak out and get crazy?! When this leviathan hit the floor, it lowered its head and actually CHARGED me. That was a first in my book. So here I am wishing I had a Valium or something similar because I cannot stop trembling. And for those of you who do not have RAID on hand; I have used hair spray. I did not have hair spray tonight so I used a spray bottle of Resolve carpet cleaning spotter, disabled the filthy thing and quickly set an inverted jar over it. I will gladly trade cleaning kitty litter boxes for my husband removing the roach. No, I won't be sleeping tonight...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354543058368872647.post-50926830262177060642009-10-13T09:31:52.148-04:002009-10-13T09:31:52.148-04:00Borax...someone told me to do that when I was in N...Borax...someone told me to do that when I was in New York to keep the mice away. After seeing one run across the floor of my living room I became convinced it would crawl into my mouth while I slept and eat my insides.<br /><br />:( I'll try it!Lotus B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07124912914020357771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354543058368872647.post-20069028970709241582009-10-12T19:13:16.754-04:002009-10-12T19:13:16.754-04:00OMG you made me laugh!

Go out and get you a box of "20 Mule Team Borax", its a cleaning powder. It should be near the washing powder/detergent in the store. <br />Google it so you can see what the box looks like. Sprinkle that shit all around your house, best outside. I did that a few years ago and I swear to you I haven't seen a cockroach in years. <br />I would love for you to try it and see if it works for you.<br />As frankie would say, MAN DOWN!! or should I say "roach down" LOLMs Taurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698527145902217157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354543058368872647.post-55307675896970850402009-10-12T16:12:18.603-04:002009-10-12T16:12:18.603-04:00OMG...thank you.

Imagine being 11 yr...I hope you never see one also. Imagine being 11 yrs old lying in bed and hearing this weird noise, you are looking around trying to figure out whats making that damn noise and then you lye back down and all of a sudden this huge thing flys at you and lands on your pillow. That was my first experience with a cockroach and ever since i'm been a phobic. I hate them!!Ms Taurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698527145902217157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354543058368872647.post-61540951278014675902009-10-12T04:21:11.755-04:002009-10-12T04:21:11.755-04:00I feel your pain.

Lord i'm living alone now and i can't say what i'd do if i was to see one in here. I would pet a snake but I cannot deal with cockroaches. I think its because they fly.Ms Taurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698527145902217157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354543058368872647.post-61104311742119958302009-10-11T13:26:11.257-04:002009-10-11T13:26:11.257-04:00Bugs don't usually make me feel squeamish I ju...Bugs don't usually make me feel squeamish I just pick them up and take them outside but roaches are different. I've never actually seen one and hope that I never do. OMG!

Plus, I know for a fact that those suckers fly because I have seen them with my own eyes. People have always thought that it was funny that I get hysterical anytime I see one. It's not funny to me because I am so afraid of them. I have been known to run out of rooms screaming at the sight of one. Luckily, I haven't encountered one in years. Hopefully, I haven't just jinxed myself. These things usually like to crawl in through open spaces so check to see if you have cracked window open or some other kind of crevice in your bathroom. I definitely feel your pain.Tough Cookie Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645044095482965343noreply@blogger.com
