The Cockroach Motel


Cockroach IPod

I considered changing my name for our house from the "Wee Banana" to the "Cockroach Motel" after I found a few of these guys. Luckily they have all been belly up.
Funnily enough, belly up in no way means they are dead yet. They still move their legs a bit. I covered one with a glass when I saw his legs move (too chicken to stomp on something so big and crunchy looking). While shifting the glass (so I wouldn't trip over it) he flipped right side up. I checked him again in an hour and he was belly up again. What is the deal with that?
I haven't found any smaller than the one pictured. Gavin assures me they are all coming out as a result of the exterminator's visit just before we moved in. I bought a huge can of Raid just in case.
