Check out what happens when Emily and I find a cockroach in our garage. The outcome may surprise you.
Obviously, we were unsuccessful in our initial attempt to kill this cockroach. I bet we would have had better success if we would have read Killing Cockroaches first.
Good stuff, BUT everyone knows to kill a cock roach you use a shoe. And yes, you clean up the mess. A slipper may be better for killing them.
And this is supposed to give us confidence in your subject expertise? I dunno if faced with the choice between “Pop goes the Church” and “Killing Cockroaches” after seeing that I might have to go with “POP”.
Speaking of which any updates on the availability date?
After moving from NJ to the Charlotte area I have learned to spray around the outside foundation every few weeks and inside about every month or so, better safe than buggy.
Although it may be even more of a problem over that SC line. :)
Tony, I recommend the Benilli Super Black Eagle II it is the best autoloading shotgun in the world, and it works great for killing palmetto bugs a.k.a flying cockroaches. It will shoot a 2 3/4, 3 and 3 1/2 inch shell with ease, it comes with a varity of choke tubes for different distances down range. Of course I don’t recommend discharging any firearm indoors but you can always get your wife to “shoo” it out into the yard and then open fire, bam, no more roach.
Add some psycho background music to that video…
…and you’re sure to have a classic on your hands.
Good stuff. Can’t wait for the book.
I just want to know about that big giant crack rock that’s right beside the bug!
Nothing could have killed that beast. When I first moved to FL, we stayed a nice oceanside hotel. There was a palmetto bug (as the lady at the counter told me when I called to complain about the cockroach). I stomped down on that thing as hard as I could and stood there for a few seconds, twisting my foot back and forth. I tentatively picked up my foot, worried about the mess on my Sambas…and it ran away. I screamed like a girl!
I give Emily points for getting that close. After a trip to Savannah on our honeymoon, I’ve stayed far enough north to avoid those hideous creatures!
Dude,
In the south, it’s commonly accepted that to kill a cockroach you must STEP on it! The fact that Emily was barefooted would have potentially made her local legend material had she stepped on that monster!
OR her man could take the chivalrous route, put the camera down and stepped on it himself. Just a thought… ;-)
you guys are too, too funny!
Had he been to the fridge? BTW I was chased by a German Shepherd at a golf course the other day. If I ever write a book, I’m going to call it “In some rough with a German Shepherd on a perfectly sunny day.”
Looking forward to your book.
If the speed of the energy displaced by the cockroach while running is equal to the squared of its mass and chocolate, id’s suggest a rolled newspaper for killing a cockroach.
It’s not fully grown until some hangs out on each side of the work boot you squash him with. And, please believe me, Florida palmetto bugs are really that big. That puny little critter you showed would not be worth measuring for Boone & Crockett.
