There have been comical times when a Palmetto bug got in my parent's house.  
My Mom and I just get the willy nilly's and the Icky yucks when we see them.  
Mainly we hate'em and are scared of the things.  One time involved a broom 
held by my dad, smacking it around, sending it towards my Mom and I.  We scream 
like banshees, run like hell, my dad smacking away at the darn thing with a 
broom a million times.  It finally found a closet to run into, and we never saw 
it again.  That room with the closet the bug ran into?  My Mom and I did NOT 
step foot in that room for days.  I have a very colorful name for these bugs.  
Alas, not even I can tell you said name on the at-l.
