Big Black Cockroaches

Henry from Red Beach

Our 20-year-old brick and tiled place we liven in has big black (3.5cm) long coach roaches entering and I can’t find a way to get rid of them, other than the fly swotter. One even crawled onto my brow one night in bed and I was able to reach up quickly and kill it there right on my head. I held it there until it was dead in the mirror with the light on. I never leave food out overnight so as not to encourage them. They do seem to come in from our loo pipes and crawl freely after that. We kill around 3 per week on average. Does anyone here have any ideas on what I might do please, as I would like less of these guys in my life, and they are reputed to carry diseases?
Thanks Henry 21/02/2025 20:35

Everyone has at least one world event they’ll never forget. Whether it’s something recent like the pandemic or the passing of the Pope, or something from the past like 9/11 or a World War.

If you're comfortable sharing, let us know where you were when the news broke, and what do you remember most about that moment?

Poll: Are domestic flights with Air NZ out of your budget?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A Tauranga man has filed a complaint with the Commerce Commission, claiming that due to dynamic pricing, it’s cheaper for him to fly to Los Angeles than to book a flight for his daughter from Tauranga to Wellington.

Do you think their pricing needs addressed to encourage more people to fly?
