I can not live with these in my house. Here's the description:
American Roaches are larger reddish-brown cockroaches which usually forage outside. They average around an inch and a half in length and some species have wings. They can feed on grains, sweets, and some plants. They can be found in crawl spaces and woodpiles around the house. Occasionally they enter randomly inside homes because of temperature changes and various other reasons. Other names are water bugs and Palmetto bugs.
There was one crawling on my arm this morning, as I slept. I have abandoned my bedroom until further notice. I'm currently looking for a good exterminator. I hate having to spray, though. I don't like lots of chemicals in my house. But I just CAN NOT have these things on me. Nope. It's giving me nightmares. I was doing ok while they just came into the kitchen every so often. We sprayed all around the house outside and under the cabinets in the kitchen. Obviously not good enough. All those pushing for us to move to Kansas have definitely found an ally in these monsters.
