Cockroaches are a fact of life in Philippines.  They are everywhere and little or no effort is made to keep their numbers in check.

Higher end establishments have some form of pest control but many a time I have sat in Coco Amigos restaurant and watched cockroaches scurry across the floor or checked into a hotel where I turn on the lights to see a few cockroaches running to hide.

They like the dark so some tourists don't realize how numerous they are.  Many expats use sprays and other pest control methods in their homes.  I do that.  But when you live in row houses you are gonna have to expect the occassional roach to get in.

Twice a year I find cockroaches in my bedroom.  I get rid of them quickly but last night I was sleeping when one found its way onto my head where he seemed to like to be, until I reached up to scratch, that's when I found out:

Cockroaches bite hard!

They go on your head to get moisture.They can carry up to 40 different diseases.Horrible things luckily we don`t get that many.

The cock roach was on his head. By 'shoe', do you mean 6 inch spike heel?

AFAIK the problem with squashing cockroaches is the roach might die but the eggs survive and are spread around leading to a new infestation. You still need to use a spray to destroy the eggs.

I don't date that kind any more :-) But it reminds me of a joke.  Not sure which section so I'l put it in the dirty jokes section.  Watch for it :7500:
