IBT: A neighborhood in Wyandotte, Michigan, has canceled its traditional Halloween trick-or-treating this year to curb a cockroach infestation in the area.
Sidewalks and streets on 20th Street will be sealed off Monday, and authorities believe it is “in the best interest of the public.”
A letter was issued from the Wyandotte City Engineer’s office earlier this month. The letter said the event would not push through “to prevent further roach migration” in the area, USA Today reported.
“Barricades and signage will be placed on the street and at sidewalks at Grove, the intersections of Orchard and Pine, and at Eureka, closing the street and sidewalk to vehicles and pedestrians,” a city letter read, according to WXYZ-TV.
Gregory Mayhew, the chief of Wyandotte Building Authority, reportedly said a property had been identified as a potential source of the infestation and the city is taking steps to exterminate the cockroaches. MORE

It’s said the roaches come out from their motels chanting and marching in platoons carrying little AR’s. They’re known to outright attack kids carrying any kind of Halloween candy. Protect the children! Oh, the humanity!
I thought cockroaches were supposed to be on the menu now. What’s the problem?
“A person or a member of a group of people regarded as undesirable and rapidly procreating”
Oh, that kind of cockroach.
I find it hard to believe that roaches would eat enough candy to cancel Halloween.
To advance our new insect diet, just sprinkle them with brown sugar and coat with chocolate and call them candy. No need to cancel Halloween!

It makes them very hard for our cockroaches to light.”

Well, well….despite negligent Public Schools performance, the cockroaches can read well enough to follow the signs….
Hey, S(t)uperintendents: now do the kids.
The authoritahs don’t want people stomping on tomorrow’s school lunch.
