One very easy way to kill a cockroach is to drown it with
its own weight.
If you see one , you immediately to the following
1. Squeeze a tablespoon of dishwashing liquid onto a cup or
plastic water cup.
2. Turn on the tap to add water and mix the solution.
3. Pour this solution into your toilet bowl.
4. Catch the drop the roach into the bowl,
The dishwashing liquid will destroy the water tension
of the insect and it will sink and drown very fast.
Its best not to squash the insect because of the many
bad microbes it contains when the splattered abdomen
goes all over the place. It will also release a horrible smell
when the fatty tissue is splattered, it is the defence of the
insect.
Spraying insecticide is also bad for health , kids, pets
etc.. and Expensive.
The american cockroach has withstood huge amounts
of radiation enough to kill a human. But it needs oxygen.

Perhaps you guys can help to add to or suggest how would you handle such situations.
I will use a tissues to catch it then throw to the rubbish bin (where it belong).
Yes, they might be very ugly but it's still a LIFE.
Imagine, if you are them. Only another "human" to do this to you
I think you'll defer if you fall sick because of them... :nono:

come ON, arguably bacteria and viruses are life forms too. How abt parasites like tapeworms living in your intestines?
Why not just let them live @ your expense? :bsmilie: :bigeyes: :sweat:
You shouldn't kill them, they are LIFE too!!

Btw, i am just sharing my thoughts to the TS as he asked "how would we do if we meet his situation".
If you find anything wrong about what i will do, u can PM me. And btw i didt ask for any opinions from my 1st posting too.
Has anyone tried sticky tapes / sheets? Do they work on these strong legged creatures? :dunno:
