I'm cool with every insect except roaches or palmetto bugs as some people call them. It stems from bad experiences as a child when my parents had a very bad problem with them. When I would feed our dog, there would be multiple roaches inside the bag of food and when I would scoop the food out, they would crawl all over my arm and as a child, this scared the living hell outta me.
Ever since then, it's a automatic response. They must die. Most other insects here in Florida serve a purpose either inside or outside. That's why I leave spiders be when I see then inside. I know they help with the bug problem but roaches? Roaches serve no purpose except food for spiders in my mind.
When you grow up in Florida, you really have no choice but to accept cohabitating with insects but not roaches. Ever lol
