Chester Yapsby has stolen a top-secret project that is capable of making insects grow to incredible heights. Kim is contacted for the assignment because she never fails to get a job done, though when it turns out that the giant cockroaches bother Kim as she has a personal fear of insects. Ron must help her overcome her fear in order to save the day. Meanwhile, Ron names one of the cockroaches Roachie and decides to keep it as a pet, much to Kim’s chagrin.

(edit)
Kim: Roachie listens to you?
Ron: Yeah, except at bed time. It's always "Five more minutes" and "Can I have a glass of dirty water?". (edit) Kim: He eats your garbage?
Ron: Hey, don't knock it 'til you've tried it. Actually, go ahead and knock it. I tried it, it's nasty. (edit) MHS Sign: Mutated Roach Awareness Week (edit) MHS Sign: Sinkhole Awareness Week (edit) Ron: The quakes? You were making them.
Chester: No. That was my army of giant cockroaches!
Ron: Giant what?
Kim: Cockroaches.
Ron: Ah! Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts. (opens his eyes to see that the roaches are only three feet long) You call those giant?
Chester: They're pretty big for cockroaches! (edit)

Chester: They're pretty big for cockroaches! (edit)
Ron incorrectly refers to Roachie as "la grande cucaracha." The correct way of saying it is "la cucaracha grande."
(edit)
At the very end of this episode, Kim's hair is parted on the wrong side.
(edit)
Super Mario Bros.:
The video game Ron and Roachie played had sounds from the classic Super Mario Bros. games. (edit) I, Robot:
The end of the episode, with Ron and Kim leading the giant roaches to a new home in the Middleton Landfill is reminiscent of the end of I, Robot, where Detective Spooner relocates all of the robots to a new home in a landfill outisde of the city. (edit) Kim: Don't tell me you're the Roach Whisperer now.
Reference to the movie The Horse Whisperer (edit) B Movies:
The giant cockroaches a classic parody/homage to the giant-bugs-created-by-radiation B-movies of the fifties. (edit) Ron: Ron's departing monologue to Roachie:
Ron's monologue saying goodbye to Roachie is pretty much comprised of lines from every single "goodbye" speech made by the child in any given boy-and-his-animal-friend movie, where the boy has to leave his animal friend behind or let them go. (edit)
