[Vision2020] Roaches, was tunnels

[Mike Deleve]

Ummm....... I hate to burst anyones bubble, but... my work takes me to all sorts of places in our little burg. I've seen those disgusting creatures for decades. Unfortunately, they are the classic, stereotypical "german cockroach". I still get the heebie jeebies about a service call I did in the late 90's (I won't say where). An ice machine was not producing ice. Located in the dimly lit basement, I began to remove the exterior panels when, just like in a horror movie, literally thousands of roaches fell onto the floor out of the machine. So many that they had stalled the condenser fan motor. Yes, I screamed like a little girl while I grabbed my tool bag and ran! Ugh! Had to fumigate my van and burn my clothes after I stripped outside in the street.

  Sunil. . . I think the only roaches in Moscow live in the tunnels under the UI.  And this is a good thing. . .  and we should all hope they stay there.  They are HUGE!!  and they hiss.  One of my son's classmates brought some to class for "show and tell".  They ended up as classroom "pets" and I think they fed them cornflakes.  I can't imagine stepping on one. Yuck.

  Janesta,

  I've never seen a roach in Moscow.  This is the second time I've heard a roach story here, but I've still escaped them.

  In Malaysia we had Periplaneta americanas, which would fly around outside and inside, and many other varieties. In Davis we had smaller, non-flying roaches, and I was relieved not to find them here.

  Now I guess I had better start looking around more carefully.

  Sunil

  In 1978, I went into the tunnels, as I was working for a company that had a contracted job down there.

  It was heebie-jeebie time... HUGE cockroaches, in my imagination now, they are as big as Madagascar Beetles! HA!!   I did not think those critters existed in Idaho because of the cold. 

  It was big down there, and there was evidence of people visiting for non work purposes. I don't have a clue how to get to them anymore. It was quite an exciting part of the job.
