Many people hate roaches. But some of them are not pests and can even be kept as pets. I got a pair of madagascar cockroaches. They are timid, slow and gentle. I'd like to make friends with them.
So amazing! They are very smart and social, I've been learning more about them and peacefully dealing with them is WAAYYYYY better than senseless violence and murder! I helped one earlier from the kitchen counter to the trash can...I just held out my hand, it walked right on and ride to the garbage. No problem there... NOT to imply in any way that cockroach are garbage... Just a good variety of food in a concentrated area for my little friends. And I do remove the trash can daily so I'm sure lots of my roaches just get a free ride to wherever the garbage dump goes... But no need for poison or smashing them, they are conscious and even have personality! Wonderful creatures! Congratulations on making friends, there!
