Catching cockroaches

Just as i'm going to bath, I JUST had to see a cockroach crouching by my washing machine. This is pretty irritating, considering that i'm so sleepy and i have to wake up early the next morning. After a moment of struggle between my desire to turn tail and let it be or to be responsible occupant of the house, i gave in to the latter. Given a chance, it will breed. Who knows how many eggs it may lay and what dishes it may dirty as it scampers around.

Now matter how many times i've caught cockroaches, i still find doing it disgusting and revolting. Especially so when this One has the size of a thumb and has dunno-what sticking out of its end. The worst is the squishy feel when u crush it under the paper and the juice that comes out of it.

Discover a good way of nabbing them though. Well, they do run fast. Found a bamboo pole very effective in preventing their escape. Lay it flat on the ground and covers the route of escape in front of the cockroach. Use it to knock it. Interesting to find it lying on its back, unable to move. That's when u move in for the kill. Mission Accomplished.

Darn. And i have to waste some senseless minutes typing about this experience.
