Thread: I hate Cockroaches!

When I kicked that one the other night, just that small contact with my foot made me shudder. I hate the little bastards.

I was in a bar on Suk 22, it started pissing down with rain and the fukkin things were climbing the walls and flying around the place too.
I did a DJ Pat with the bill sharpish

Their populations [and a wide variety] were around long before we showed up, and they'll continue to thrive long after we're gone.

Gotta tell ya something, donnit?

Should be admired.

But they all love you so much and just want to be near to you Princey

Why don't all you cry babies go live in the Antarctic, no roaches there.

Thailand is a tropical country for fucks sake, get real or get out.

Leave the roaches alone ! It's the Freemasons you should be poisoning.

Scandalous!! You just officially made him an adjective. I want one. But can it be something cool like "I took this chick out last night and I properly 'Fresh Princed' her"

I've still not won the battle. Tried most of the ideas on the thread except for the gas.

Tonight I was sitting on the porch and wondering when I would see the first roach. Then across the wall ran a little gekko and I thought, "I've not seen one of those for ages"

Then it struck me, could the problem be that I've got no gekko's? Can those little fellas tackle a roach that is nearly the same size?

If so does anyone know where I can get some gekko's or an effective way of catching them so that I can set them around the house?

Sleep well.

I've never seen one upstairs.

Geckos could do the trick.

I have never seen a cockroach in my house. I have several extremely large trained killer Huntsman spiders distributed strategically around the house. The huntsmans eat all the baby roaches so they don't get a chance to get established as a population. They run faster than Usain Bolt and would easily catch and eat a full size roach too if they ever got that big.



Just as long as you can sleep OK under the watchful gaze of your 6 inch diameter 8-eyed cockroach muncher looking down silently from the corner of the ceiling

If I see a cockroach these days I just shout at the fucker.

I'm too lazy to go and find a piece of paper to wipe them up off the floor with.

However, I always let it be known that they will not get an easy ride around here.

Cockroaches here are shiftless buggers...so slow as compared to some other countries...

Here, they don't move until you're almost upon them...easy to catch/kill if you could be bothered...

In the Bahamas, for example, they move like lightning...almost impossible to catch...

Why do they always run at you though?

I used to think it was because they were well facesty, but now I reckon it's because they think the smartest way from hiding from you is being next to you.

I find that if you step on them with too much force you have to scrape 'em up. However, a short sharp "pop" on their heads still allows a deft shot into the flower beds with no snail trails.

^'Tis an art, Albert...I just can't be bothered...they read the paper over my shoulder...

Money, maybe...I dunno...

You will start seeing loads of them now it's rainy season and they move indoors for refuge.

Keep leaving scraps of food outside a neighbours about 5 doors down, wait for the fukkers to go to work first.

They feed mostly on dead or immobile things. They prefer food sources such as sweets, cheese, meat products, starches and grease. They also feed on plants, vegetables and fruits. They eat almost any type of food, including household items such as leather, beer, glue, flakes of dried skin, starch in book bindings or decaying organic matter of animals or plants. Cockroaches also eat kitchen crumbs, paper, human dander, shelf paper backing, and much more.

Cockroaches can digest a wide variety of substances, as their digestive system consists of a variety of protozoa and bacteria. They are nocturnal feeders. They are quite active at night. During the daytime, they hide in the wall cavities, roof voids, sub-floors, crevices and cracks in the kitchen and bathroom. Cockroaches contaminate food and cause the spread of various diseases such as cholera, dysentery, tuberculosis, typhoid and leprosy. Hence, it is very important to keep your surroundings clean.
