Noooo. Urban myth, I'm afraid. Go ahead and stomp.
Best time to catch them was in May when you see the buggers shagging. Spray them and you got 2 for the price of one AND no babies from their night of nuptials! They produce about 50 sprogs per bonk!
I amuse myself every year as the local gunslinger, armed with cocky spray. Last year I got about 350.
Treat it like a Battle of Britain score - kills and probables. It's great fun!
Most were in my bloody front garden (they like my umbrella bush) but some were "away matches" (going to/returning from pub) or on neighbours walls. One or two were in the house! My belief is they get in through the oven extractor so, before turning in, I turn on the extractor, spray a bit of cocky killer up it and turn the fan off.
The Mercadona sprays are brill! Black tin or brown, those cockies are history.
Been working overseas a lot this year so my "kills" are well down this year but I intend to make up for it when I'm back!
