I freakin' hate these damn things! I found out very recently I had two of these things in the house. The first one I didn't even realize was there until I looked to my right. Crawlin' around on a bag on my computer table. Its dead now thankfully. But the other one. Is somewhere on the ceiling in the other room. As far as I know, I am not allergic to them. But I am afraid of them none the less. And seriously hate em. And whats worse is that my can of bug spray is really lacking right now.
