Next the chicoms will lab produce them the size of dogs....
Palmetto Bugs are notorious here in north central Florida. Some we swear are 101st Airborne. They are fearless.
Jesus Christ that was too close to the wire for me!
There’s something wrong with their math. 1 billion roaches divided by 2000 pounds in a ton divided by 50 tons a day is 10,000 pounds per day per roach. Even 50 tons a year is 27 pounds a day.
What do they do with the feces from a billion cockroaches every day? That’s gotta add up pretty quickly.
All have wings; most don’t use them. One got in our house threw the window one evening last summer. They are attracted to the light. I chased that thing all over the bedroom. I must have succeeded in my many attempts to kill it. I never saw it again.
For regular cockroaches, I keep an open bag of diatomaceous earth next to our kitchen waste basket. If a regular one gets in, I figure it would go there. It kills them by dessicating them. About once a year I’ll see one moving slowly across the floor. If it was healthy, it would scurry faster than a speeding bullet. Oklahoma also has those big ones outside. I dust the thresholds with borax to kill them and keep them out.
I’ve known a few journalists in my day - but only one who could do higher math. Thanks for clearing that up.
Can’t we just skip the Cockroaches and feed the restaurant stuff to the chickens directly? Let’s just skip the Cockroaches altogether.
