You are probably used to those shiny black crickets. Ours are not black. Ours are grey-beige and look like dried fish bait or food for pet frogs.

It's hard to walk at night anywhere in Las Vegas without seeing them scurry underfoot. We always called them waterbugs but they are German brown roaches. We have an exterminator so I'll see two or three of them mostly in the mornings belly up and kicking on the sidewalk or patio. You don't see them a lot in the house if you have an exterminator. I've seen them in a few restaurants, usually in old buildings. I even had one in my food once at Hilda's in NLV. I found it about halfway through the meal and she still expected me to pay for the food.

Despite what Buzz said, the GIANT roaches are not the little brown one's. If you don't believe me, i will save the dead bodies and send them to you or to Buzz for further verification.

As for them being everywhere, they are right now until late september when they scurry back underground until next summer. Want to see a ton of them? Go out to any neighborhood in "The Lakes" area after dark, preferably around 10-11pm and they are all over the walls of apt buildings, sidewalks, on your car, etc. Everywhere you don't want them to be. And the flying one's....the worst. Especially when they land on you.

The continuing response to this thread must be another ploy to keep "human" roaches out of Vegas... If you’re that worried about a little bug, STAY HOME! I have a variety of bugs in my hometown including roaches, saw 15-20 of them floating in a clients pool today. But I also have to deal with an overgrown infestation of ticks this year. We mountain bike and atv on the power lines all the time. This summer I can't come back with less than 5 ticks on me, ever. On top of being ugly as hell, ticks can kill you or seriously make you ill if your not careful. OK now onto mosquitoes. Come sit at my pool around 5-11pm sometime in the summer, good luck! Spiders, silverfish, horseflies, noseeums, gnats, yellow jackets and wasps that make unexpected homes in your lawnmower, shall I go on? You get the point. Ask people who live in the south about bug "problems", they will laugh at your roaches... See a head doctor for your phobia and get over it, they will not hurt you. Oh see the attached image of the house centipede.. These live in woodpiles and get into our homes, they love water so don't even try to flush them down the toilet. Many a time have I have watched one of these crawl up through the sink while I was brushing my teeth. Sit at you computer desk with bare feet and feel one wiggle over your feet in the dark and you will never be more creeped out.

Comeon...be gentle...the lady does not like bugs. You probably have both she and Pink String perched atop their monitors.

Not nice. I have a somewhat witchy friend in Sun City. If you continue I will have her put a scorpion curse on your Las Vegas residence. Note that scorpions come from S. Cal so they are hard to get rid of...
