LOL! But what do you spray them with? Gold powder? Arsenic would just make them go faster!

According to a Chinese speaker, the characters they chose to name the thing in Chinese do not translate to "cockroach." I am told their name for it is some kind of outdoor beetle. It's obviously designed as a cockroach, but the marketing department probably figured it would not sell as well if they called it a cockroach. Perhaps they are aiming this thing at kids, and naming it cockroach would not go over well with the parents...
