Cockroaches

Yuck.

Must I say, I do not fear cockroaches. My mother on the other hand is terrified of them.
I, however, can't kill cockroaches by stomping on them, only with inseticide (I hate the cracking sound they make when smashed).

Guess what just happened? A flying cockroach (the most annoying kind of them) just appeared flying around the living room. And we had no inseticide. My mom was panicking and clinging to me while I tried to hit the damn insect using a broom. I never played baseball but just from that I can see that I don't have any talent for it.

Ten minutes of yelling and one broken vase later (no, I did not hit it with the broom, it was my mother who made it fall while trying to run away when the cockroach flew in her direction) the damned insect is now a corpse.

Here I hope the inseticide nevers runs out again. Just went and bought three spray bottles of it.

    Ah, roaches. My old apartment had hundreds of German cockroaches ( http://lancaster.unl.edu/pest/images...gm_roaches.jpg ), and chemical spraying didn't have much of an effect. I ended up hunting them by hand during the night.

    I've kept roaches out of my current apartment by dusting my kitchen cabinets with boric acid powder. So far, I've seen only one cockroach.

    Best of luck with your pest problem.

    I heard the females have eggs hidden in that green liquid that spews out. After you step on them it stucks to your shoes and you spread it around the house.

    Cockroaches are a superstitious and cowardly lot.

    Teach them to fear you.

    Reminds me of a very bad Franken Fran chapter.

    D: "crunching sound.."
    I did not need to imagine that. :(
