A Museum of Cockroaches That Everyone can Love.

It sounds a little strange, but where else can you find cockroaches that will put a smile on your face even if you are paying to keep them out of your home.  The Cockroach Hall of Fame is the creation of Michael Bohdan, a pest control specialist with over 20 years of experience.

Located in Michael's retail store, The Pest Shop, the cockroaches Hall of Fame is home to dozens of displays of "roach art".  These displays of cockroaches consist of real (deceased) cockroaches that have been dressed in costumes to portray various themes.  For example, as featured at right, an 85 year-old lady in Fort Worth dressed up a dead cockroach with a white mink cape and sat him at the keyboard of a tiny piano.  She named him Liberoachi.

 
 

 

In addition to the "dead" cockroaches, Michael also displays Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches that are very much alive.  These African Cockroaches are three to four inches long and nearly an inch thick. When you pick these cockroaches up, they hiss.
