Let's Get Exponential!!!



We actually find this a lot.

Here is a German roach, female, pregnant, 5'9'', 125 pounds, strawberry blond hair, enjoys long walks by the kitchen appliances.

Anyway, she wandered onto a glue monitor, got caught, dropped her egg sac (ootheca is the term, it's that long brown thing almost the size of the roach) and out came thirty something roach nymphs hungry, ready to start life, but unfortunately they got stuck too.

This is a good reminder to us why German cockroaches are masters of their domain:  there are so many of them, some are bound to survive.

Notice how close to the edge some of the babies are.  Is it possible one got off and lived to fight another day?  Absolutely.

So when it comes to German cockroaches, crunch all you want, they'll make more.

Ew York City will be adding to your life tomorrow.
