| 1203708 | 2011-05-21 11:07:00 | They love fly spray. I get the odd one in my garage but they die very quickly with Mortein. One found its way into our kitchen yesterday but it was no match for the waste disposal. Cockroach spray kills the ordinary little ones in a flash. We get the odd one because the house next door was infested for years. New owners have dealt to them big time but I think residual colonies must still exist and the little buggers sometimes cross the border without passports. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1203710 | 2011-05-21 11:19:00 | There are about 30 different species in New Zealand, about 8 of those have been introduced. As Billy points out they didn't even have passports. I used to hate spiders until I met cockroaches. Compared with cockroaches, spiders are positively charming. Wetas are another matter altogether. :horrified |

| 1203712 | 2011-05-21 21:05:00 | We get one ugly insect called the Potato Bug:: kimcampion.com But the most hateful bug is the Stink Bug. www.suburbanhippie.com It emits a nasty dual-chemical that jets out of their back end that makes me barf. |
