Roaches is one on the smartest species on Earth... They been around since T-Rex and will be around after man burns up Earth and is forced to relocate on Mars... But the roaches will still be here... They are the ultimate survivors...

As for ridding them from your house, it can be done... All it requires is a gallon of gas and a match...

The you rebuild you a new house and they be back in a couple of weeks with all their cousins...

Here's a better idea... It's called *coexist-with-a-twist*... You can catch bunches of them if want to... Just leave an empty paint can in the middle of the kitchen with an old bar of soap in it... Roaches love old soap... To collect them there are these cheese cloth strainers for paint that slip right over a paint can... Don't look in the can 'er they will all run out of it... Just come in from the side real low and put that cheese clothe over 'um and then shake 'um into the bag... Now yo have a bag full of tasty roaches ready for the microwave... Unlike corn they pop real fast... I'd say a couple hundred would pop in about 15 seconds... Little butter and a little salt and yer ready for a fun packed evening of popped-roaches, Iron City Beer and "I Love Lucy" reruns on Channel 376...
