Everybody's All American
Strange. I keep having encounters with large cockroaches. It's weird cause usually when you have a roach problem you see little ones as well. In fact, that's mostly what you would see. At least this has been my experience. Been pretty lucky here to not have had much of a problem with cockroaches.
Lately, about once a week I will encounter a large one which I will track down with a can of bug spray. I spray the fuckers wth what has to be at least 100 times the fatal dose.
Last night I was in the bath reading Stephen King's: "On Writing, A Memoir of the Craft". Not a creepy book--but then I hear this huge rustling noise--like an elephant sneaking through my bathroom. I'm laying there thinking "wtf?", and then I see him. Big fucker. On the other side of the bathroom floor. He's on his back for some reason. Maybe it's because he's just a stupid roach and roaches are good at getting flipped over on their backs but not so good at getting flipped right. I jump out of the tub. The bug spray is right there, so I nail him. Thing is he seemed to already be dying.
I'm not sure what the deal is with these giant roaches. Are they coming out of the drain? Radioactive mutants? And where are their buddies at? The little ones? I mean, these fuckers are big --an inch and a half to two inches. It's a good thing I only see them once a week or so. I'd feel better if I didn't have to deal with them at all.
I think what might be happening is that someone (maybe my neighbor downstairs) is seriously poisoning them. Only the big ones survive long enough to venture to the third floor. I think this would explain the height requirement and last night's back stroking roach.

sunil Make sure they don't walk around and on your food with the poison material hanging by their rear end...or else we may have one mutated John here :).
I think they have devised better weapons against roaches.
As an example, sonic weapons are quite effective (against rodents albeit) without the hassles of poison stuff being spread. Here's a link if you want to invest in a "sonic-gun" for pests

and for roaches an "electro-magnetic gun":
