These May Be God's creations, but that doesn't mean I want to have a close personal relationship with any of them

Their guts stink to high heaven. Up north the German roaches are much smaller but they will come out of your plumbing into your kitchen on the 20th floor! They get into your food. The big American roaches mentioned above just defacate on your dishes so you have to wash them before you set the table, eat the glue off evelopes, chew on your kid's wax that she uses to cover the wires on her orthadontia and many other delights. YUCK.
Thanks for your help.
Oh - and I'd add rattlesnakes to the list.

And, not-so-big No-seeums from my UP days. No windows open in the evening as there is not a screen small enough guage to keep those monsters out. You may not see them, but they sure take a chunk outa you that would make a gator blush.

When my kids were 4 & 6, my DD asked if it was wrong for "Dad to kill Bambi?". I said no that we ate the meat, & dad was always carefull to observe the laws. She said "Well, he kills armadillos, too." My wise DS piped up with "Well, armadillos are just one of God's mistakes!" Out of the mouths of babes.
