Yes, just let them go after capture. You cannot control them, and there is not enough poison on the earth to kill them all. This is just plain common sense. It's their space, we have built our homes where a lot of living beings have lived eons before humans ever appeared, and they will in all probability be here long after we are gone. This is Florida.

If you don't want them in the house (I don't either, and we don't have them anymore), then do what you need to do to keep them out. Make sure your screens are OK, there are no places where they can crawl from outside to inside the home, etc. This is not exactly rocket science. If you use poison, where exactly do you think that goes? It goes into the earth, the ground water, and you are poisoning your pets and yourself, it just takes longer. These poisons are cumulative. Once they get to a saturation point in our bodies, as well as all living things, watch out. Maybe you want those health problems, I don't.

I remember them from my cousins house in Miami Beach. Giant armor plated flying roaches that are indestructible. My cousin jumped of the counter and landed on one and it just walked away. We finally dispatched it with a shoe.
