  1. Bloody foraign cockroaches, coming to our country, invading our houses, taking the job off our cockroaches…

  2. It should be noted that the German cockroach isn’t an invasive species. It’s been native throughout Europe for literally centuries. It’s just the collquial name it was given after Linnaeus (the guy who’s basically responsible for the naming convention of species) first started giving animals their names found one in Germany and said “It’s a cockroach in Germany. German cockroach, *Blattella germanica*”.

    Just the Star trying to tap into that xenophia.

  3. Spread Diatomaceous Earth where there are unwanted insects

    It gets stuck in joins and whatnot and grinds away the shell until the insect dies. It’s not something that can really be adapted to, so it should work on anything that moves and has a hard shell

  4. “What do you need that for Tommy? Zee Germans?”
