Noooo don't let them all go in one go, you'll end up with an infestation.

Lol there not that bad! get some tweezers and grab one, cockroaches take ages to right themselves when turned over, so try and flip one it will make it easier for you to grip it. They will tend to run away from you than towards you Be brave you can do it

I can sort them out for you as I'm a pest controller!

Wouldn't be any good for feeding Tokay's once I'm done though!

I could tell you the amount\types of diseases they can carry ,discovered when the world health organisation did a study on them......it wasn't good. I'd prob scare weeminx that bit further though!
