I saw a story about roaches on the Animal Planet and they are amazing creatures! That man said they could live through anything, including fires, hurricanes, wars, stompings. There was this one kind of roach and it could fire air out of its skin and make a sound like a cat. I sure wouldn't want to see that roach in the house because it was as big as a human head. My grandma HATES roaches and calls them "Devil's lice" or "oaches" because she has a hard time pronouncing r's. Anyways, whenever she sees one she swings at it wildly and tries to smash it to pieces. After that show, I would say it's just a waste of time.
