The cockroaches, for example, who came over from Africa on slave ships - three different species live with the Bartons. Very handy to have around, too, when the Bartons suffered from bedbugs. Cockroaches eat bedbugs like candy.
To be more exact, one acre is 90.75 percent of a 100 yards (91.44 metres) long by 53.33 yards (48.76 metres) wide American football field (without the end zones). The full field, including the end zones, covers approximately 1.32 acres (0.53 ha). For residents of other countries, the acre might be envisaged as approximately 56.68 percent of a 105 metres (344.49 feet) long by 68 metres (223.10 feet) wide association football (soccer) pitch.
