Michael Bohdan, a pest control specialist, started up this little gem years ago in his Plano, TX retail store, The Pest Shop. Years ago, Michael didn't have sufficient money for a good advertising campaign for his new pest control business so he paid $1000 for a cockroach mounted on a drawing of the state of Texas. He figured doing something as ridiculous as that would get him on the news or something. It did. He got on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Business took off.He breeds Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches and will show them off to you. Keri actually held one for 2 seconds! Sophie and Rhys were content just to look on. He says he feeds them dog food, beer, and bananas.
There is, in addition to the "live" roaches, several "roach art" displays of "dead" cockroaches dressed in costumes to portray a variety of themes."Roaches at the Beach"
"Santa Roach"
There was also Liberoachi, Elvis, and Brittney Spears roach displays.
"Santa Roach"
There was also Liberoachi, Elvis, and Brittney Spears roach displays. Michael does not make roach art as a pass time but people send them to him. Isn't that lovely. Michael was a great guy, informative, and obviously takes pride in his Hall of Fame and business.
Oh, and yesterday we kept cool at a local sprayground. Talk about an abrupt transition!
"Strike a pose. There's nothing to it...."
