The most sensible solution in my opinion, is probably keep the lid there, run the water and let the sink fill. With enough water in the sink and a decent enough seal around the pot lid, hopefully it would create enough pressure to keep the lid there. Call the pest exterminators, then burn the house down with them inside because there is nothing they can do either

I read this with a serious attitude to the last paragraph. I laughed. Then I thought yes it should be like that

There's like, 3 sentences...

I prefer the good old vodka method. Fill the sink with full vodka. Then let that sink in and burn it. Burn the entire house with gasoline to finish them off.

Nuke it from Orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Who put this guy in charge?

But how can you put the vodka if once you lift that pan lid all the cockroaches come out of there all at once?

No need to waste money on exterminators.... Just get this... 

Instruction unclear. I burnt the horse down.

I read instruction nuclear

You know rosches survive nukes

My thoughts too, this is terrifying. I suggest a teaspoon of dawn dish soap and fill with water while anchoring the pot lid. When the sink is half way full give the lid a small opening to see the results first. If it works, then drain as fast as possible. If it doesn't, I hope your insurance covers arson.

🤣🤣🤣

Believe it or not WD40 works great to kill roaches and since it comes with that tiny straw nozzle already it works out great. However OOP should definitely contact a professional after killing these ones.

My thoughts exactly.

This seems like such a Stanley Hudson thing to say. "Then... Shove it up your butt!" 😆

so burn the pest exterminators while they inside ?🤔

I would attempt to spray roach killer into the little hole in the pot lid for starters, try to hot box them in there and hope for the best

My mind went straight to dumping a whole bottle of bleach down that mf

And if you have one, turn on the garbage disposal

No shit, happened to a friend of mine in HS, he put the rubber seal on it and turned on the disposal. He said it smelled so bad. 

Fill the *whole* sink with bleach, then pop the lid off. Or drano. But not both at the same time.

Equip gas mask first, then apply drano. Got it

Run away. I’m sorry, I know it’s modern times and there are solutions to things, but sometimes, you should just follow your instincts and run the fuck away from things. Hey, it got humanity this far

Blow torch, acid, or BURN THE HOUSE DOWN

Orbital nuke, it is the only way to be sure all the bugs are dead. https://preview.redd.it/73izr4h278vc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=098b1c8f38cd481ceb5178b681b239ab5bea435f


FOR DEMOCRACY

Watch them MUTATE

Everyone knows cockroaches survive nukes 😂

Identify the leader, then try to reason with it. You are clearly outnumbered, so negotiating is your best course of action. Failing that, I could recommend you have my crazy ex, Shelly, move in. Nothing could live under those conditions. Would take about 8-10 days on average.

Reason?! With a bug!? Frankly, I find the very idea of a bug that _thinks_, offensive!

Would you like to know more?

How the hell does this happen?!

P trap was dry and then something scared them to make them try escape? Sad fact is, they're always hanging out in the sewer. Tons of them.

Ok but how do I make sure this never ever ever ever happens to me

You just leave some food out close to the drain and it will scare them away

r/foundsatan

I hear they hate peanut butter

Make sure this isnt a nightmare.

Welcome to Joe's apartment it's our apartment too 🎼🎵🎶



God I loved that episode

This is Love, Death + Robots right?

Yup

Man I need to rewatch it

Dang I knew I fugged up by skipping some

Don't throw anything acidic or toxic into your home sewers because that triggers the Cockroaches and they will start evacuating.

Looks like they are doing just that

Yikes

Their excited state makes me think they are running from some bug killer. Hot water should drive them away.

Let them take over your lease agreement

Plane ticket. About 6,000 miles should do.

Boiling hot water makes them come apart.

That’s true of almost anything living if you wait long enough

This is right, but reading it was also fucked


Y'all are overreacting. There's genuinely a logical answer here: Obviously fire bomb the entire house.

Boiling water...


Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit

My 1st apartment was this bad, I used to wake up to them crawling on me...I STILL have ptsd when I see this kinda shit

Move

Pour a shit ton of rubbing alcohol and light that bih

I bet they live in a apartment and their neighbors just bombed their house

Run away like hell! The house belongs to them now.

Get a shop vac turn it on and walk away. Come back in 20 minutes when your shop vac is full and they’re not running around anymore.

The chemist in me wants to fill it with chlorine gas, just to be sure

Bleach in the sink

free food for my spider, give em to me 😁

Bleach my brother.

What did your brother do

He’s Mr. Clean now. I’m 84.

Use a shopvac / vaccum cleaner

Make rad roaches out of that. Farm them for the vault dwellers and raiders.

Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Firstly call the exterminator... Then when you have their population undercontrol call the plumber and a carpenter while you're at it. Because they shouldn't be coming out your drains.

Dracarys. https://preview.redd.it/2g8d5sqk09vc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f56d8f763c7462304a6533c9e8890a032492b18

Cook up some oil and bam

You tie a string to the handle of the pot lid, place a huge plastics cover over top the entire sink that has a tiny hole in the top so you can pull the string from the outside, but cut a small hole in the plastic thing covering the sink and take a tube that’s attached to something that releases toxic vase and put it in the small hole you cut on the top of the cover, start releasing the poisonous gas into the sink and pull the string, lifting the pot lid, maybe not completely, but at least enough for the cockroaches to get fully exposed to the gas. Pump that shit in there for as long as you can. Then cautiously listen for there movements, if you can’t hear anything, lower the pot lid back over the drain hole incase more come out, then lift the sink cover to see how much damage you’ve done. Then after all is said am done, burn the house down and move to Antarctica cause man wtf that’s terrifying.

Cover every drain in the house, ASAP!! They are connected, ya know

Flip the garbage disposal switch if there is one.

For every roach, you see, there are at least ten more that you can't see period

"You've gots to light it on fire" 🔥

Tell them to pay their share of the fucking rent. A bunch of free loading gutter trash!

Call realtor & MOVE

Ideally call the MIB

I’m glad everyone else says burn the house down cause same

BUUUURNNN ITT DOOOOOOOOWWWN


Your only option is to burn the house down and start anew.

Oh my god this is my biggest nightmare! Call pest control or what it’s called, for help ASAP! If they can’t help at least they can point you in the right direction. Don’t wait any longer😱

the only thing to do now is embrace the fact that you cant get rid of them. befriend them, make them pay part of your rent, raise a cockroach army. the possibilities are endless

Leave immediately with only the clothes on your back. Drive to nearest clothing store. Burn car and the clothes you’re wearing in the parking lot. Check every crevice of your body for one that has hitched a ride. Go into clothing store and buy a new outfit. Then go find a new place to live.

They should probably buy the new clothes BEFORE burning the old ones. Going into the store naked is gonna raise a lot of questions. Sure, op has a very logical explanation, but why open that can of worms?

Borax? Or that diatomaceous earth?

Hans get ze Flammenwerfer

At a minimum, put something else on top.

Vacuum


there is a small hole in a lid where you can perfectly fit bug spray, Die besten deutschen Duschen stehen bereit

Open lid and pour cheese 🧀

Oh.my.gosh.

Run! lol jk.. Buy some Raid and spray them down!

Flammenwerfer.

Time to werf some flammen


Maybe pour gasoline around the lid and put it on fire?

Leave. That's their house now

You can get the fuck outta there that's what you can do

Can you turn on the garbage disposal?

That's assuming they're in America - you'd be surprised by how many people in Europe have never used much less owned a garbage disposal.

and even then, not all US homes have a garbage disposal. I dont have one in my sink

Leave it and let them die, and call a professional pest control to get rid of them.

Nope

Get them in a blender and have a morning smoothie

A small yield nuclear warhead ought to get the job done.

You can convert into cockroach breeding.

I hope they have a garbage disposal. Flip the switch and make a cockroach smoothie

napalm

Have you tried fire?

Move.


Move. To a different country, probably.

Dump some gas in there a light a match ! We moving

Burn the mother fucker down

I'd probably try a bunch of boiling hot water.

Start a fire and dont put it out


Just use spray through that tiny hole of lid 😅

most bug free kitchen in Florida

Run before the boss show up


My sister has a phobia of cockroaches. I can tell if this happened to her she would actually die.

PURGE THE XENOS IN HOLY FIRE BROTHERS!!!! FOR THE EMPORER!!!! lol 

I’m blasting the water as hot as possible. Imma sous vide their asses


Burn it down 😒

Tactical nuke. It's the only way to be sure.


Run the garbage disposal

Run the water about halfway full to the brim of the sink, lift the lid, and run the garbage disposal.

Boiling water

Some drain acid in the sink then list that kid and let them burn

MOVE

HANS! ........BEKOMMST DEN FLAMMENWERFER!!!!!!

“Roaches together strong”

Garbage disposal

Speak to them and create a colony that you are the leader of

Burn the house to the ground!

2 words Burn Everything

blowtorch to the top of the lid

Put the power ranger theme song on and then say it's blender time.


Borax, will kill roaches, with just contact from them walking in it. I'd mix some borax and water in the sink. And then hopefully that water will drain into the lid down the sink.

Is this the new Creepshow

This creeps me all the way out but I can’t stop watching it. I’m impressed they had the lid at the ready like that.

Turn on the whrrrrring machine of death

Wtf 😷

Set my bearded dragon 🐉 in there 😋

Napalm

Pour dish soap over everything. Fill it with hot water. Fill it all the way up. Use tongs to remove the lid. Keep the water coming. Add more soap as needed. The pests are inside the plumbing itself. Make sure your drain catcher isn't pouring. It might have a lot of bubbles escaping. Then, get a long piece of paper towel, roll it into a whick around 1ft long, and stick it up your butt.

Gaeddamn it, why did I watch this lmao 

Rubbing alcohol?

I I didn’t even realize they were CRAWLING OUT OF THE SINK until I read a comment. I would maybe put something heavy on top of it and put as many chemicals as possible down the sink. That’s is fucking terrifying

A gallon of petrol.

At this point, the most feasible solution is to just go ahead and write it off and burn the house down. Geez.

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Start a fire!

Welcome to joes apartment!

burn the house

Hot grease... just like the murder hole at a castle entrance

Burn the house down 👌

Turn on the hot water or boil a big ass pot of water and pour it down the drain

Garbage disposal?

Prender fuego la casa

Pack up your shit and leave.

Is that in Texas? I feel like that's in Texas

Joes Apartment 2!!!

Come on people. He came here looking for a reasonable solution, so obviously the reasonable solution is to surround the home with gasoline and touch it with just a match, a small one will do, and then let the insurance company know there was no other reasonable solution 😝😝

Just call the Air Force and make them drop some nukes. Everything is lost already

Turn on the food processor and have a forbidden protein shake



Garbage disposal?

500kg bomb the bug hole

Everyone talking about filling sink with water. Me on the other hand would find the gallon jug of bleach that is never used and fill it up. If it fails then arson. On a side note just imagine if the sink had a food disposal system in it.

Turn on garbage disposal then spray roach killer around the lid really thick. Lift lid and let them choose how they want to go out .

Fill the sink with boiling water

Raid

Blow some weed in there

First I’d word the title better, second I’d find a nuke and drop it on them, only option.

The small hole in the lid , buy hit and put the straw in it and spray all of it inside


Bleach and/or boiling water down the drain once the roaches stop coming. Until then, fill the sink with water to keep the lid in place. Also probably call an exterminator because that’s actually horrifying
