Default Those darn Palmetto Bugs here in Florida

Haven't seen one in years. Where'd they all go? North Carolina?

We had far more of these critters in San Antonio, TX. Nothing like waking up in the morning to take a shower and find one in the tub! Eeewwwww!!!

Default I think that the insurance situation in FL...

...has sent the Roach population packing....they can't take the disturbances that hurricanes bring and are tired of having to vacate the house every other week during hurricane season...especially those roaches that live on barrier islands or close to the beach, or in a flood zone....I think they have decided to go up North during the summer...with the snowbirds....why, look, they have free travel in the suitcases and can always return for the winter season in the boxes that the snowbirds send to Florida...Must be late in the day & I don't have enough work to do,eh?

oh those roaches, they are smart little creatures! I still wouldn't worry too much about them. I dislike bugs and don't have to run and hide all the time because of the palmetto bugs. I see one once in a while, if that.
