I will say, though, that after living in Venezuela for a year, i did get used to them- and I was deadly afraid when I arrived.

I still struggle with being back in the US, but this? This is something I most definitely was happy to leave behind!! <br />And how funny that your snake and spider loving boys can't deal with roaches! Mine can't either.

I swear they move just as fast and jerky and come straight at you like they were being driven by some hidden remote controlled car. Our kids biggest fears right now are the mega millipedes. Maybe Santa will bring each child their own flyswatter for sweet bug free slumber as the nets don't always separate them from the crawlies. I like the idea!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053440944972513372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896182951003656236.post-62216599842020564552010-10-28T09:58:51.945+04:002010-10-28T09:58:51.945+04:00Missy- Sadly putting a plate over the drain wouldn...Missy- Sadly putting a plate over the drain wouldn't hep much, the sewer access is very near the front door so there ate always a few in that garden in the evening, they just march right in the big gap under the front door along with an army of lizards and spiders. So far Mr. Spider hasn't put in a reappearance which makes me think the overflow drain empties outside instead of being connected to the plumbing and he has crawled away hopefully never to be seen again. <br /><br />Foreign Obsession - Yes it is the huge flying roaches that we call waterbugs in Texas. At least it didn't fly, I hate the demon helicopter sound they make. *shudder!* <br /><br />Jill- I KNOW roaches won't hurt me unlike spiders or scorpions but something about them just makes my skin crawl. I can deal with the little German ones (never had them in Germany) no problem even if they touch me I don't freak. The big ones though, they crawled out of some 50s B-flick horror movie.

I got really used to them in Israel - no matter what we did, we kept getting them in every single room. HUGE monster roaches. Like 2-4 inches.<br /><br />In India they were normal size... but everywhere. They don't bother me that much - and I'm used to killing them. <br /><br />But my kids? Oh lady - they screamed like someone was pulling off every single toenail one by one.

Big roaches like that generally live either outside or in the sewers. If you can't get the rubber plugs for your drains, then put a shampoo bottle on a plate and set it on the drain. This will seriously cut down on the number of roaches that get in!<br /><br />I could totally deal with the spider in the overflow, but roaches freak me out.

I was packing a box to ship to my family, and as I was closing it, one jumped out onto my hand. I screamed and screamed and screamed. It ran back into the box, which I slammed shut and threw outside, gift and all. Can you imagine if I'd taped it shut and sent it to America without noticing? It probably would have killed the intended recipient, just from the shock of opening it.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950448336879028108noreply@blogger.com
