I get them in my garage, but I have noticed since I've had some house geckos move in too that the palmetto bug population has decreased tremendously.

I'll never forget when we were taking a walking tour in Honolulu in the late 80's. Marlu asked the guide if that critter on the side walk was a crayfish( looked like the ones we have here)<br />he said know that is a palmetto bug. I declare it was at least 4" long and moving like the wind. If one fly at me no matter the size there would be a need for 'clean up on aisle 5' if you get my drift. They are horrid here in the summer. <br />Ok now I'm itching and I need a bath. I believe you that it was 4" long...and that it shrunk. <br />Hugs CeciliaMy Mind's Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014097754516123017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435521207575893989.post-91623639864177353762018-02-06T10:48:09.673-05:002018-02-06T10:48:09.673-05:00That is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny.

We can vacuum them up, but I suppose a cockroach is too big to be dealt with like that.

You...Yes, I believe they shrink when you kill them. You know how when you kill a spider, they dry up, curl up, and look much tinier. I am NOT going to the link because I am going to bed now, perchance to dream. But not of giant cockroaches. So is this bug a variety of cockroach? My brother-in-law lived in Florida for decades. They say all the bugs there are giant versions of normal bugs, likely because of the tropical weather. The same thing that makes all the plants grow. You cannot play tennis after dark there because giant bugs come to the lights and bomb the players. They are the size of V.W.'s almost. Bob must have very good concentration when he vacuums, that is hilarious. But I believe it was HUGE and ginormous. After it died, it shrunk in the sun.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
