When will it all end????!!


The American cockroach is a large species of cockroach, winged, and growing to a length of 1" to 1½" (2.5 cm to 4 cm). It is very common in the southern United States, and in tropical climates, and can be found in many locations throughout the world, due to its travels via shipping and commerce between locations. In the southern U.S., it is often called a Palmetto Bug or a Waterbug.The insect can travel quickly, often darting out of sight when someone enters a room, and can fit into small cracks and under doors despite its fairly large size. It is known to be very mobile, and it also has wings which allow it to be quite a capable flier.

It prefers warmer climates and is not cold tolerant, however, it may survive indoors in colder climates. It does well in moist conditions but also can tolerate dry conditions as long as water is available.

The insect is often considered a pest since as it invades living quarters for sanctuary and food.
HEEEEELP!!!!!
Well, it certainly is a pest in my house!!!!! TWO of them, I repeat, TWO of them have been found in my apartment these last few days! YURK!!!!! I HATE bugs, HATE them!!! YURK YURK AEAEAE!!! So Christen always comes to my rescue and saves me.. But last night, when the creature was discovered as I was reaching for the toilet paper, I got so spooked I had a fit! I HATE BUGS! they don't belong in my house!
And to make matters worse, ants have started reappearing in the kitchen! Oh my. Time to move back to Norway... ??

    Jens Stoltenberg, det er statsministeren vår. Han er ganske dårlig i engelsk. Burde ikke dra på besøk til deg USA, for å si det sånn...
    Da ville han bare ha dummet seg ut. Ellers har han mørkt hår.
