Every kiwi I know is either terrified or somehow angered by these little guys - but they’re harmless. They don’t even want to be inside your house, they just wandered in where it’s warm.

Gisbourne cockraches aren’t known carriers of disease, and they don’t tend to get into food supplies, unless they’re rotting.

I have known big tough guys who scream and flee when a cockroach appears. Just put them outside and continue with your day.
