Florida gets these large Palmate bugs (Roaches)........

I mostly grew up in Florida and still have a home there. I hate those big Pametto bugs. I trapped and relocated 11 community cats (kittens) - had the parents neutered, last trip down. I've seen references to Florida being the U.S's Australia in terms of bugs, critters, beaches and wackiness. My yard has gopher turtles, wild parakeets, owls and a resident black snake. Once I woke up and our pool was covered with frogs that had hatched, ha. Last flight down I picked up a book in the airport, Gator Country about the alligator trade in the Everglades. It was a good read and great insight into diversity and conservation issues of Florida.

Glue boards are a cruel way to kill animals.
Garden snakes are harmless and beneficial to the environment
Please reconsider your non lethal options
I volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation hospital in town and the sad cases are endless.
My plea is over

[ Florida gets these large Palmate bugs (Roaches) ... ]

=> LOL

Palmetto bugs[1] are the native auxiliary[2] for the Confederate Air Force[3] ;-)

Best wishes,

1. Palmetto bugs
First encountered 'em in 1975 immediately after landing at a small regional airport near Fort Hood, Texas. Never saw their like in northern Japan.
