    I used insect spray, dustpan, then flush of the toilet.

    insect spray is poison. toss it out the back so the other insects can feast... its the circle of life. 8-)

    We get them from time to time.
    I've so far seen 3 big ones, a few summers ago we had an infestation of a small variety.
    And my parents are clean freaks, so I am not sure what attracts them inside and how they get inside.

    theyre attracted to a food surce. theyve learnt that humans=food. roaches are survivalists.. thats why theyve been around for millions of years.

    Apparently they can survive a nuclear bomb.
    They have no purpose on Earth, hope they become extinct.

    their purpose is the same as mans. all nature is symbiotic.. it all fits together, even if you cant figure it out.
