Nah, waterbugs are the enormous roaches that may fly. Shudder.
They do not fly here, in my experience, they move very slowly. I see them outside a lot but only a couple of times in my basement, usually dead. Which kind of makes me think the people who owned the house before put some horrible poison around the foundation of the house that kills the waterbugs on entry. And it hasn't lost power in almost 10 years. That may be crazy thinking.
did you get yours at home depot?

Those are not roaches. Trust me. Roaches...scurry.
I may have been thinking of Palmetto bugs. The last time I saw an enormous flying roach, I just about lost my mind. I was babysitting, so in someone else's house, and it was late at night. YIKES.
cereal that I'm not eating: just looked it up, because these guys were flying, and I think they're brown/wood cockroaches, which fits my setting, and they become active in June and July. Tomorrow's project, fixing the cats windows screen. Right now it's a big gaping door, apparently with flashing neon saying "Eat at Joe's"

That's what I think too! I have experienced the scurrying kind. shudder.
ION, also gross, oh elderly dog! Why must you pee on the kitchen floor right after I have mopped it? And right after I've taken you out? Why???
I got it at Ace, a new neighborhood franchise that ordered a batch when I asked about it. A lot of people ended up buying it: they ordered a case, half was gone when I went to pick it up a day later. It isn't that uncommon, though. I just didn't see it at HD or Lowes on the shelf.
First time I voluntarily conquered a roach was when I was 19 and babysitting. No one else there to save the kid, so I dropped a 20 lb english compendium on it. And left it in the middle of the room for the mom to deal with.
Unfortunately, there's just me to deal now, so I am.
The Silverfish tend to be almost transluscent, while the house centipede is far too creepily visible (crawling in the blue glow of the TV in a dark room). All those legs ::shudder:: and the fuckers are fast.
eeeew. stop talking about roaches. it'll summon them. i can handle anything but spiders and roaches. i don't care what they're called, i call them all eeeewwkillitkillit.
