Ahhhhhhhh!!!! I, for one, would have no trouble putting hazardous chemicals on either of these creatures, but, the idea of actually picking one up with my hands! No way. Just as a note, a friend of my husband got a grant to study cockroaches. The govt. wanted to know what he had found so in his report he made his observations known. One of these was that when a human touches a cockroach, it immediately runs to a corner and cleans itself! Ha! (All in the family, ie palmetto and date bugs). I would bait a hook with a worm but anything with legs gives me the creeps. Sorry, I cant be more helpful here but I just dont have what it takes. You folks in the cold country may be more hearty than I.
