PS: I also agree with the Vegans that eating animal meat i less than humane. I do it myself (and even appreciate the taste), but only because there are a number of vitamins that are hard to get any other way ;-))
I had to evict a wasp nest at my front door. It is the same door where we bring in the groceries, including the hamburger meat. Sorry PETA.

No, cockroaches are nasty! Every home owners nightmare is cockroaches and termites. PETA needs to get it's head out of it's butt and look at what they are saying! Cockroaches carry a variety of diseases. Cockroaches may spread a range of diseases. It is believed that the cockroach may be a reservoir for a range of bacteria including salmonella, staphylococcus and streptococcus. The cockroach can also harbour viruses such as the polio virus.
Having been raised by a hippie I've been taught to be nice to bugaboos, even roaches and spiders. Peta still bugs me, but I agree with them on some things. I'm just not over the top about it.
Vermin need to be extinguished. Death is not a punishment.
Death is a fact of life. No one said to torture them.
If the catnip works, fine. I doubt it. I am not living with pests that cause disease because they have a tiny brain somewhere.
"If you do see roaches, scatter whole bay leaves or catnip throughout your house. Iowa State University scientists found that catnip is 100 times more effective than DEET at repelling roaches." Yeah, sure.....
Roaches are not a species that is about to become extinct. They've been here since prehistoric times and will probably one of the few species that would survive an nuclear holocaust. I see very few of them in my apartment, but when I do, I am, in fact, very kind to them - I step on them and kill them immediately so as not to draw out their pain and suffering. Then I give them a burial at sea by flushing them down the toilet.
None where I live but usually if I see them somewhere else it's bad I wish them a higher life form next life maybe as a butterfly, and apologize for taking their life as I step on them.
I do not agree with PETA about anything. It is a groups of extremists who support terrorists and deceive gullible people. I heard a few years ago that it collects $30,000,000 each year. If I see cockroaches in a residence, I kill them immediately. They are pests.
