    Man, you're really going out on a limb here with this one. Doubt you'll get too many folks on board. :(

    Find the nest, seal up any cracks leading to and from your house, spray everywhere and get your own permethrin and mix it up yourself, don't buy Raid, Black Flag, etc. Make sure you have no water leaks and don't leave food out or on dishes in the sink (Roaches can live for long periods of time without food but only a day or 2 without water.) Place boric acid powder in places where kids and pets cannot reach it. Don't waste your time bombing.

    I don't know anyone that likes cockroaches. Even PETA makes a roach exception.

    I swear, I was sleeping this morning, and I felt something touching my feet and did not know what it was so i just brushed my feet off, and try to go back to sleep, and a few seconds later, I felt it crawling up my arm pits, so I smacked my armpits and picked it up and crushed it, then realizing it was a big cockroach, I woke up with the biggest adrenaline I ever had in my life, and now I can't go back to sleep, so I got online to tell yall this story.

    Incorrect. They can live roughly up to a week w/o water. I caught one of these suckers once and kept it in a cup. It laid feces everywhere and took nearly a week to die.
