Cockroach Research
Spent some time researching cockroaches on the internet. While unpacking things that had been stored until we could get all moved in, saw the biggest cockroach I have seen since I lived in Florida many years ago. We were hopping it was just a carry in from Tampa but I have seen a few dead ones and a couple of babies scurrying around. I haven't told Cindy yet because she will freak out and want to bomb. Not a good idea with babies about. Think it is either and an American Cockroach or a Wood roach. The first reproduces very slowly and the second can't survive long with out the great outdoors. Once I get everything cleaned up and put away, I will have a better idea. Borax and silica gel are good non-toxic repellents. Need to get a couple of roach motels to get an idea of the hidden population.
