<DIV><FONT face=Arial>And I've always bragged to my Texas brothers and sisters
that my favorite thing about Moscow is that we don't have roaches. In San
Antonio we had roaches and crickets. At night on the freeways the crickets
would be drawn to the lights and I can remember the sound as our tires ran over
them by the thousands. The road sometimes got so slick cars would spin out
of control--our version of black ice, I suppose.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Ah, Blatella germanica. <BR><BR>[My dad is primarily a medical
entomologist, and secondarily a parasitologist, and to my mother's dismay
dinner conversations often involve worms, mosquitoes, and other insects.
We used to go through his books to identify our pests.]<BR><BR>I've never had
quite the experience Mike describes, but I remember a couple of occasions when
my parents decided to clean out our storerooms in M'sia. As the boxes
came out, so too the roaches that had taken cover in and around them. My
dad didn't really mind them, but my mom's approach, adopted by all of us, and
which I blame on her excellent modelling, was much like Mike's below.
<BR><BR>The worst events were when we would get an intense but short rainstorm
in the mid-evenings. After the rain if it got warm again the roaches
would come out of the storm drains and fly in, or up the drains in the
bathroom, and then we'd have them - big ones - flying all over the
house. We killed over thirty once, and I remember my sister running for
the shelter of her room, screaming, with a big one buzzing at her head. It got
in with her, which made her scream even more.<BR><BR>When World or European
Cup soccer games were broadcast in the middle of the night, I always had a
badminton racket by me, to deal with the airborne roaches, and my slippers for
the terrestrial ones. And a hockey stick for the b.f. rat that we were
pretty sure had moved into our room while we were in college, but that's
another story... <BR><BR>Good times, good times.<BR><BR>Sunil<BR><BR>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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.</FONT></DIV>

Re: [Vision2020] Roaches, was tunnels</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>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.<BR> <BR>Ellen

Janesta,<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Now I guess I had
better start looking around more carefully.<BR><BR>Sunil<BR><BR>
