My wife was on her computer in the computer room and she sreams!!! This HUGE waterbug (I.e. Big ass Cockroach 3" long) is sitting next to our filecabinet. Damn this is so fast if you take your eyes away you lose it. I lost it like 3 times and pulled apart half the room and finally the thing darts out into the middle of the room. I had a little surprise for the beast, I was packing an old school 4 Cd-Case. Bam, hmm, still moving, BAM, damn, still moving, Bam bam bam. Ok, must be dead now. I get a peice of paper to move him and he takes off. Holy Shit Batman!! NOW, I'm pissed. BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM. Dead. Not even a leg twitch. That whole episode took up a good 30 minutes of my life. I'm so proud!

No, I don't live in a nasty apartment or something. They are building a house nextdoor and I guess since we back up next to a golf course the field where they were building forced the waterbugs into my house!! It happened before when the built the house on the other side of us! God I hate those things. Worse than Spiders. Yeah, I'm a big pussy when it comes to bugs.

Definitely. Weather sucks too. At least the houses are cheap until a tornado or hail wrecks them.

You should see the ones in Hawaii! Roaches everywhere. I once cornered a California rat that had to be shot. Huge rat! Big as a cat. No it wasn't a possum. We tried to kill it with sharpened broom sticks but it's hide was too thick. Just pissed it off. Coworker pulled out his .25 auto (he carried a gun in a not so good neighborhood) and shot it while we had it cornered under a pallet. They are vicious!
