A good freeze takes care of a lot of the critters.

Those are humongous. I had only one of those in 2009. Was probably about 3 inches long. Biggest roach I'd ever seen. Killed it by running after it and dumping lots of hair spray on it. Didn't have anything else handy. This one was pretty fast, but I was faster.

You'd hate San Antonio. Damn city is filled with cockroaches, or at least the UTSA campus and surrounding apartment complexes. I kept my apartment clean, and I remember waking up one night and seeing a live cockroach laying right next to my head in bed. Needless to say I wasn't able to sleep well for a month or so after that, if I felt ANYTHING touch my body at night, hell even the sheets, I would jump up and shake down the bed.

there are different stages of huge cockroaches:

1. the kind that have wings and fly
2. the Big pregnant mother roaches. they hardly come out of the darkness of your walls though but they are freakin' HUGE. the size of a babie's hand...lol
3. the kind that knock on your door late night and when you open the door nobody's there.
