Hmmm...good question, Joe. There have been times where I use bug spray on those suckers and they're still wiggling a leg or antenna when I check on them a few hours after. The only time I feel certain that a roach is dead is when I squish it with my shoe and see the guts flowing out of its abdomen and its head. Then I know the roach won't bother me ever again.

Ok... here's a thoght that's been "bugging" me for a while now: If cockroaches are the only creatures that can survive a nuclear holocast... (atomic bomb etc) how come stuff like Raid and Doom kill them? I just don't get i? I've got a huge unnatural phobia of spiders but you know what makes my skin crawl more than spiders??? Fecking Roaches!! A spider.. scary.. but I'm even more terrified of those roaches...
So I guess in the back of my mind is the theory that RAID etc does not really kill the roach but stuns it so that we think they're dead and then they come alive in the trash again?
