  • Cockroaches are gross, harmful to your health, and just, well, gross. Did I mention they're gross?
    "If a cockroach is in a sewer and then 10 minutes later is on a lunch counter in a restaurant, you can imagine that it's transferring some pretty nasty things from one place to another," Dr. Jim Fredericks of the National Pest Management Association tells us.
    So, how do you keep your home free of cockroaches? And can cockroaches really survive a nuclear attack? Pest expert Dr. Jim Fredericks explains.

    Quick answer: No, a cockroach cannot survive the blast of an explosion, but they have a higher chance of surviving the aftermath of a nuclear blast.

      Microwaves don't evenly distribute the EM waves. The little guy was probably sitting on a cold spot. If it was a hot spot, its body water would boil and decompose tissues, no matter how resistent it is.

    so about the radiation , it harms humans because we dont stop cell division so radiation can harm more cells and we have higher chances of cancer? while insects are doing the opposite and on top of that shedding the old exoskeleton means all the damage from radiation actually goes to garbage as a piece of exoskeleton? did i get it right? if some1 knows about the topic please enlighten me

    So I saw them and I screamed!!!!!!
    then my friend and his mom came running in.
    I ran to the kitchen and dumped a bunch of oil on them. Followed by tide and borax and water.
    Then some lemon juice, vinegar, baking Soda, and big repellent. Killed them all.
