I'm from New Orleans, they don't get any bigger than that. I am quite quick with the shoe. Also, if you pour dish detergent on them, that will kill them without spreading poison around. I had to get aggressive, as when I asked my husband to do it, he would sort of lightly tap the roach, and then it would scurry away, and he would report, "I scared it." Yeah, to go lay a million eggs. So I took over, and there always seemed to be at least one shoe lying around in every room.
Very familiar with N.O. And I'll have to remember the detergent trick. Beats the pick em up with 100 wadded up paper towels trick.
