Actually, the roaches themselves don't creep me out a bit. They're cool looking bugs.
It's just what finding them in your home signifies that's the problem. Kind of like flies. They live on your garbage and other unmentionables, yet the insect itself is not a scary looking thing.
I'd love a couple of peppered roaches for pets, Kyle. Can you send them over the border, or is it like snakes? (My husband will kill me on the spot, but what the hell.)
