Re: Cockroaches? Are they really prevalent?
I have one under my fridge. It tried to get into it one day but as soon as it saw I saw it, it scuttled down the door and back under to safety. I may have brought it here from Abu Dhabi one trip. A neighbour there was spraying their flat and they were climbing a suitcase trying to reach the aerosol can like lemmings

When I used to spray my house it was like Armageddon. We had a sliding door that closed off the kitchen. Spray down any drainage holes on the floor and in cracks etc and then a few minutes later all hell broke loose. They used to fly around all over the place banging into walls and then dropping onto the floor. Whatever was in that stuff they didn't like it. Sweep them up in the morning.

My pet cockroach just came out to play. I took a very sharp kitchen knife and twice tried to cut it in half and failed! Bloody strong shells these have.

Had one land on my neck once while I was chatting a girl up a long long time ago. It might have looked like I was wearing a bowtie.

Not seen a single one on the ranches but our first villa in Bahrain was riddled with them, a horrible experience. Again it was old place
If you have any Australian friends ask them to bring over a triple pack of "bombs". Cheap as chips and hugely good fun as you around the villa setting them off. Works a treat as long as you don't mind scooping up dead bugs 4 hours later.

Re: Cockroaches? Are they really prevalent?
They are just aerosol cans but caused bombs in the Oz. Once you push the top, they keep on spraying all by themselves and the whole house gets fumigated. They would do well here
