PS- I have a house tarantula too and she's welcome for as long as she cares to stay. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75671798 PS- I have a house tarantula too and she's welcome for as long as she cares to stay. I did happen to have a couple of candy wrappers in the bathroom garbage bag on these days, other than that the house is immaculate because the maid is always cleaning this is the tarantula that was in my kitchen, next to an inverter battery [link to imgur.com] he was pretty cool, but I know the cats probably wouldn’t let him be, anything that eats cockroaches is a buddy of mine! I am always rescuing those little anole lizards from the kitties I like to get to them before damage is done but the other day I rescued one guy who had already lost an eye :( snakes, lizards, no problem cockroaches, problem! this is me: Forgive your enemies, it messes with their heads. Thoughts create, mind them well. |

Unfortunately (as far as your relationship with roaches go at least) your climate is an ideal semi-tropical bug environment. Depriving them of those comforts in your home and encouraging their predators- anoles like a nice juicy roach too! -is about all you can do, even chemically nuking the place regularly wouldn't be a total solution and nobody would want to live in a house that's so toxic it's a total death zone for something as hardy as a cockroach anyway. |

I personally don't like the rats, although I've never seen a rat in my house. Heck, I even had mice as pets when I was a young teenager, but the thought of handling a rat to get it outside gives me the willies. So, I have my own phobia, but a cockroach is much smaller than a rat, and they don't normally bite at you. Just try to remember that you TOWER over a cockroach, and that might help. I lived in Florida for 15 years, so I know about them. The second night I was in FL I had one of those flying ones fly across my face, right across my mouth...harhar, welcome to the subtropics!
