Ayup...ever go patrolling the house with a 12-ga.? Recommend (a) birdshot, (2) earplugs, and (b) evacuate the dogs'n'cats ('nless the roaches et'em already)
Before I got them under control years ago, I used to shoot them with a pellet gun in my back yard. I would turn on the back yard lights and watch the whole yard move. I shot them off the sides of trees or just runing across the patio. Sometimes I would have to hit one of them two or three times to slow him down.
