I Wanna Go Where There Are No Cockroaches.

Cockroaches are the most disgusting fucking insects that exist!!!! Ugh!!

 

They can live in the hottest areas on the planet and i know they survive some cold winters being nyc is known for its rats and roaches

 

Yeah. I mean I heard they'd make it through a nuclear blast and all that...

I'd say best way to avoid cockroaches.. keep your place clean. And if you rent and it's infested by like next door or previous owners or what not... call someone on that. Idk.

Anyways, yeah... rats and roaches. I'd take the roaches over rats. I mean ...can you imagine you're sittin there ready to crash out soon all sleepy and a Huge ass RAT jumps up by you. I'd freaking die. I would. I'd have a heart attack. No doubt.

 

In the subtropics you have different kinds. American cockroaches aka palmetto bugs live outside and occasionally one will wander inside. They can fit through the tiniest shit somehow. But they don't infest.

The german cockroaches are the ones that are in dirty houses and infest the place. They're smaller and they reproduce like crazy. Pretty crazy too, they eat each other when they die or their exoskeletons from molting, so if you poison one with roach bait they take it back to their little hideout and all end up dying because they eat the poisoned one when it dies.

 

That's interesting. I was in the Tallahassee area and you can see them walking down the sidewalks at night time like they own the streets. I've seen that in GA, AL and SC. It doesn't matter what kind of neighborhood you live in, if they're outside and you open your door and they wanna get in, they will.

It's not an infestation, but one cockroach is too many for me. I mean I don't mind them being outside but it makes me so pissed off to see them inside.

I don't remember ever seeing them in Southwest Florida, but I could be wrong. I also remember seeing them on the beaches Virginia, between the rocks.

I've lived in Cali for most of my adulthood and I've never seen a roach there. Not even the small ones in dirty homes or restaurants. Not in the valley, not in the desert, not on the coast.

 

I have never seen one of those American roaches that come inside now and then...

 

I agree completely.

 

but how you are describing them sounds like how we feel bout stinkbugs around here...
they are super gross and WIIL be outside.
and will try to get in and often do. luckily I don't have any or many in here now.

 

That's the kind I'm talking about, the American ones, though I think I've seen the Oriental ones too and they are basically the same, they come in every now and then and they are incredibly hard to catch, then I think it was like last month, one crawled up my pants and bit my upper thigh. So...yeah I'm totally not okay with those things and they take forever to die and they can fly.

 

Ive never seen a cockroach here in KY. I did in CO, along with scorpions, tarantulas, Rattlers, etc.

American scorpions arent bad. Id much rather face a scorpion than a pissed off hornet

 

I hate bugs. I really do. All of them.
I love nature and camping..but at some point when I actually do it I always remember I hate bugs and realize camping in a tent is kinda silly if you hate bugs.

 

I never had a problem with bugs outside. Never had anything in my tent or even in my area in North Carolina or California, but in SW Florida I had ants, South Carolina had ants too. California was strangely completely bug-free for me, but I don't mind spiders and there were lots of those.

 

Looks like an orb-weaver spider. They are sometimes found in gardens eating insect pests. There are thousands of species of them around the world with various colors and patterns.

Sounds like you have traveled around quite a bit honey. I lived in Tally too, it seemed like there were more bugs. But then again like I said I don't live on the mainland, I think the intracoastal waterway is a pretty decent buffer for a lot of stuff. My mom hates roaches too, when she was a kid growing up in FL one flew across the room and hit her on the face. Sounds like you both got traumatized, I'm trying to not to laugh haha it's like laughing at a funeral or wedding.

 

Yeah...that's the kind I was thinking of...they made very beautiful webs.

And deviate...yeah, I know it's a slightly funny relationship I have with these creatures. When I was running a restaurant in Carolina there would be these roaches that would chase me across the kitchen, my ex would say that they specifically tormented me.

Something about these creatures just deeply disturbs me and the always seem to find a way to up the ante. I'm definitely traumatized. I mean, I didn't even know they could bite.

I almost think it's because they're related to shrimp and I used to eat shrimp. When I look at shrimp now I think of roaches...utterly disgusting.

 

There are huge colonies of cockroaches in nyc. They like to hang out in the subway tunnels and shit. I had to piss really bad about a week ago so I went all the way to the end of the platform to try to find a place no one would see me and there was a shitload of cockroaches and other nasty ass shit centipedes and shit I think so I pissed all over them, careful not to let them get on me. They probably liked that.

 

Ohhh yeah I don't like centipedes either. But they tend to stay away from people I think.

 

The most disgusting thing I think about cockroaches is the little disgusting sack of eggs that like comes out of their ass or something. Then when the cockroaches hatch they leave the shell of that thing behind.

 

Oh, roaches will chase you for sure. I think they can sense fear.

 

I've never seen a cockroach before, and I'd like to keep it that way.
