    Title cut off, I’m in Michigan and have no history of roaches. Never even seen one before.

      It has the little pincher on its butt but it has a more roach-like carapice. Almost like a cockroach/earwig hybrid. 😨

      I mean, it’s a spray for lots of things, roach being one of them. (Ant/wasp/roach spray)
      I had it on hand for ants.

          Ain’t no way I’m grabbing a bug while it’s still moving. My wife and I are both huge sissies with bugs. Standard protocol here is spray it with Raid until we are sure it’s dead, then wait an hour before moving it to the trash.

          I know, we suck.
