Thems the wood roaches, not the your kitchen is mighty dirty kind. They usually live outside in dead wood, woodpiles, etc. When it starts getting colder they try to come in our house, too. There's a little slit in the bottom of our fireplace that I had to cover to keep 'em out.
They are HUGE, gross and disgusting, but I was glad to hear my Orkin guy say they didn't mean my house was dirty. "Course, he wanted my $42 for the month, so he wouldn't likely insult me...
Anyone have a count for when these guys show up? Seems like about every 8th - 10th rotation. Maybe if we had a count we could keep track of when not to look.
