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.
