  i've ever sprayed baygon on a roach, only to have it continue running and hiding from me for the next half hour.
  
  i decided the best way to end both our misery is a nice good roll of newspaper.
  
  no living organism can develope immunity to overwhelming physical force.

  ahh.. that's good to hear
  
  read cammy's post about lizards...
  
  i figure ladies seem to be afraid of one, the other, or both... and i've resigned myself to protecting any future Mrs Bear from the evils of roaches or geckos

  Yes Thank God. Because I was playing Maple when it landed and I nearly pressed it.
  
  Of all kind of roaches, I hate the flying kind most. >_<'

  i killed 9 roaches yesterday. something must be wrong. it is breeding in my kitchen cabinet, just below the sink.
  
  FYI try not to spray insecticide too often. roaches have the ability to overcome them with time. whack with a thick wad of newspaper. death is guaranteed.
  
  dont let a roach get away injured. it will come back stronger.

  Once when I was sleeping, it flew and landed on my blanket which was covering my body..
  
  My friend had it worse, it flew to her face and crawled across her cheek as she was sleeping
  
  This was in an insect-infested dorm by the way...
