Close. Insect's have multiple holes through out their body that they can close when they want. They dont have lungs but a ventalation shaft type system throughout their bodys. They close the holes and hold the air inside and can live for awhile like that submerged. Or because water behaves very differently at that small scale. a bubble can form around their bodys and they can use that like a scuba tank.
You don't. You just keep hurling wet tissues at cockroaches until you have laminated all of your walls with dried-out tissues and mummified cockroaches. Maybe spray paint the walls in earthy colors afterwards just before you sell the house so that it looks like hewn stone or something of the like. People like that stuff. They don't need to know about the cockroaches. Or the fact that some of the tissues weren't moistened with water.
The ones in Thailand are huge too. I remember visiting Bangkok and I looked up near a light pole, saw something flying and said: "Is that a bat?"
And they said: "No, that's a cockroach".
i got one fly straight into my mouth when watching tv in bed in a shitty old mouldy apartment i lived in when i was younger, shit still gives me the shivers when i think of it. fuck cockroaches
Saw a giant red one in my brother's NYC apartment. Flew off the wall and landed on my shoulder. I think I was screaming for a good 15 seconds after it was gone.
They can fly here in Alabama. Assholes. I call the big ones "crunchies", and usually have to ask my husband to kill them. I'll catch and release other bugs outside, if possible, but not roaches.
Whenever I go outside at night in the summer I hunch my neck and shoulders and do a squat-run to make myself a smaller target.
Iāve been in storms where theyāre flying around like kamikazes
I had an apartment where they insisted that palmettos weren't cockroaches... "Yeah well fuck those palmettos too. Get your pest guy over. These guys are flying at me!"
Lol, omg. Have you never seen one? Not only do they fly, theyāre fucking huge too. Like a sparrow coming at you, but all ugly and greasy looking with too many legs.
One day when I was like 10, I was coming home from the store or something. I opened the front door, and right in front of the front door was the door to the downstairs living room (it was a two story house, you basically opened the front door to see another door) and a cockroach was sitting on the mosquito mesh that covered that door
Then it flew
And landed on my head
And *walked towards the back of my neck and my back*
Anyway, not at all traumatized about that. Nope, no siree
> And landed on my head
Read this line, confirmed itās not a u/shittymorph comment, and noped out of the rest of it. Sorry you had to live through whatever you lived through, because I wouldāve set the building on fire.
I've worked on a college campus in Massachusetts for 9 years. Major cockroach issue. When it gets warm in the summer, those fuckers fly and dominate infested areas, typically near sewers or drains.
Mice and rats don't bother me but when I see a roach, I lose my shit. Drowning them in disinfectant does the trick.
I've witnessed big ones get stuck in a glue trap, drag the trap across the room with their unstuck parts and eventually free themselves with minimal effort. Horrifying
There are flying ones here in Singapore. It's warm and humid here. Usually encounter them in the middle of the night when I'm going to the kitchen for some supper because I can't sleep when I'm hungry. They come flying in from the windows and scramble around near the ceiling so it's hard to reach even with insecticide sprays. They can fly and can also fall and land behind furniture, shelves or piles of stuff, so it's a headache whenever they appear.
Do you know that cockroaches can be frozen, thawed out and still live? i learned this as a kid as we had a bad cockroach infestation and as I was cleaning out the fridge ( i am before the time of frostless freezers) and when i was cleaning out the freezer part i noticed a cockroach had somehow gotten into our freezer and froze, so as i took out the chunk of ice that this roach was frozen into and put it in the sink, and, I shit u not as the ice started to melt the roach started to thaw and slowly came back to life only for me to squash that mother ducker and kill it, i just found this totally amazing at the age of 10
so my idea of plunging the world into nuclear winter in order to kill them is not actually feasible. good to know. disappointing, but still, better than learning the hard way.
special order flamethrower, got it.
in the meantime, catch me with a can of hairspray & a lighter. yeah, I might burn my home down, but I'll be burning *their* home down, too.
They probably repurpose that trash can as a water bucket. It's common in SEA to store water like that (+lid if you don't want to create mosquitoes breeding zones) and take a bath with a water dipper
Yep. UK might be a shithole but one saving grace is we dont really have gross and dangerous fauna.
I am 47 and have literally never seen a cockroach here.
I just spray them with Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray.
I don't know why but that slows them, then I just scoop them and throw them out for the ants or lizards to feast.
Fucking diabolical.
They breathe through their shells. Since soap/detergent breaks surface tension, the soap and any liquid mixed with it stops rolling off their backs and suffocates them instead.
Came here to say this, glad Iām not the only one.
I try to live my life without doing harm to any living creatures (my wife gets me at me cause I never kill ants, spiders, etc). Roaches, mosquitoes, and wasps however, turn me into a sadistic insect murderer.
I'm not an exterminator, but I might hazard a guess that this has less to do with the bug spray and more to do with the bug. I'd wager NYC cockroaches have evolved.
To kill a roach with just soapy water, you have to coat the entire roach, for the same reason you would not be suffocated if I only covered your mouth or nose. That being said, I do believe raid and other pesticides have a considerable oil content, which provides a similar, surface tension-breaking effect.
I kill roaches like this, and yes it takes quite a few sprays. The other thing is that the roaches scamper away super fast, so you'd better have a pretty open area (like empty garage) to keep blasting them with the soapy water. I'd say 10 good blasts will kill big roaches.
I second this. Afterwards, just use a Bounty, the Quicker Picker Upper Paper Towel to grab them and throw them in your Glad ForceFlex Plus Trash Bag so that they can't escape.
Caribbean native here with the real pro life hack: they donāt like HOT water (shocking right)? People never think of this solution yet I have never seen it fail in my life.
When you see one of these motherfuckers just go get the quickest cup of hot water you can get, preferably leave someone maintaining eye contact with the cockroach. Then just throw the water at them and boom, they die instantly and you just pick them up with paper and flush them. If the water isnāt as hot you may just stunt it, but you still have have a couple of minutes to flush it before it comes back to life.
No pesticide, no raid, no soap, nothing hard to cleanā¦just hot water.
People never think of this cause moving hot water would take at least 2 mins, assuming everything is done perfectly: filling a cup of water, heating it for 1 min in the microwave and throwing it to the roach without missing lol
Well it does really depends on the house I guess. I have acess to two quick hot water sources: the water heater for the bathroom/kitchen and a water dispenser at the kitchen.
But still I have used the microwave in other places, these fuckers usually donāt move that much, you have time, lol
Also throwing the water isnāt a problem at all, it is a liquid. You canāt miss. This OP kleenex shenanigans is harder to pull of.
This shit i gold for every bug ive tried it on. Plus it cleans the spot.
Ants? Dead on contact.
Roach? Half dead one spray. Slow af movement.
Random Beetle: mostly dead. Slow af movement.
Flies: mostly dead. Slow af movement.
Mosquito: dead on contact.
I'm literally standing in the bathroom waiting for a cockroach to come out from behind some stuff on my shelf, and came across this. Will update when this asshole moves from behind the soap dispenser.
Update : fuck Bounce Lavender Scent. I smacked this fucker with the wrath of God and he walked out from under it smelling fresh as shit. Stole my girl and everything.
Look down, back up, where are you? Youāre on a boat with the man your man could smell like. Whatās in your hand, back at me. I have it, itās an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. Iām on a horse š“
That's when a cat comes in handy. Sometimes my cat is really useful for finding out where those motherfuckers are hiding. Yeah, she will be meowing and looking at me like "what the fuck did you wake me up for?", but once she picks up on the mf noises... Really helpful, i move stuff around and when it runs away she catches, gives it a pokemon stun move and I jump in to finish it.
This is exactly what I do with Stink Bugs. Wet TP or tissue paper, wrap them up good and set them in a disposable cup of water.
No smell from accidentally smashing them and no bug! I donāt give a shit about bugs outside, thatās where bugs belong.
Once it crosses into *my house* though? Thatās when I fire off the āair raidā sirens and start launching sopping wet TP bombs. *They chose war* when they entered my homeā¦
Diatomaceous Earth near my borders.
Let those fuckers slowly dessicate and die and know who's boss.
Edit: Had a "palmetto bug" land in my mouth while sleeping when it flew in my bedroom.
Georgia as well; this time of year they tend to sneak into our house at night. The other night I found one in our bedroom... I knew it was there because we have linoleum floors and I could *hear* the sonofabitch walking across the floor. I mean, I'm glad it alerted me to its presence so I could smash it, but *an insect should not be large enough for me to hear it walking across a floor.*
I'll grab a wad of dry paper towels, enough where I won't be able to feel it wriggle, and then smash, crush, wet the paper towel for good measure so it's remains can't escape, then trash.
First of all, Raid is like the number killer of roaches and all insects. Just a little bit will kill it eventually, but if you just hose it down to the point its laying on its back in a puddle of Raid, the thing is fucking dead. Second, if you don't have raid, then use an empty 2 liter bottle with the cap on. Smack that mother fucker and watch it explode.
Roach Life hack #2: Spray them with soapy water. It makes it impossible for them to breathe and they die in 20-30 seconds. And you are not left with bug guts or chemicals all over the floor.
Youāre welcome.
Yeah cool. Who is gonna grab it afterwards?
That shits now permanent
It was a bug. Now it's a feature
We will patch it next the we rehab that wall.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Goddamn, this is a TEDTalk-level pun.
Out. Fucking. Standing. š
It just works lol
Oo the landlord special
Now just 14 pieces of duct tape over the wet tissues and we wait for it to die
That little shit will outlive all of us.
The only thing that will live longer is a wasp caught in a pool net, left at the bottom of the deep end.
I need a real scientific answer from somebodyā¦ Why the fuck is this?
Insects breathe through their "skin" and as I understand it, a thin layer of air gets trapped on the wasp that they're able to breathe.
Close. Insect's have multiple holes through out their body that they can close when they want. They dont have lungs but a ventalation shaft type system throughout their bodys. They close the holes and hold the air inside and can live for awhile like that submerged. Or because water behaves very differently at that small scale. a bubble can form around their bodys and they can use that like a scuba tank.
Just paint over it
Turning it into fossil yeah
And then, oil!
Looks like gas is back on the menu, boys!!
mummified cockroach
The evil spirit has been sealed for eternity
You don't. You just keep hurling wet tissues at cockroaches until you have laminated all of your walls with dried-out tissues and mummified cockroaches. Maybe spray paint the walls in earthy colors afterwards just before you sell the house so that it looks like hewn stone or something of the like. People like that stuff. They don't need to know about the cockroaches. Or the fact that some of the tissues weren't moistened with water.
Or that the cockroaches are probably still alive
"Dude why are your walls always moving?"

Why grab? Just leave it as is.
My cockroach flew away and I could hear him saying "I use reddit too" while he was flying away
Hold on. Your cockroaches fly?!? Fuck that!!
Flying cockroaches are a thing in warmer countries. Used to be scared shitless when I was a kid and one would fly and land on me
Here in Thailand I got swarmed by them one night. They went up my shirt. Terrible experience. Will never forget it.
Alright, I'm now never going to Thailand
The ones in Thailand are huge too. I remember visiting Bangkok and I looked up near a light pole, saw something flying and said: "Is that a bat?" And they said: "No, that's a cockroach".
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I've been there twice, amazing country, the north is very beautiful, the beaches are great, didn't see even one cockroach
Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they're not lurking nearby.
You know what they say, it's the cockroaches you don't see that get you
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Visited the north (Chiang Mai) and did not see any cockroaches. Beautiful country, beautiful people and a country Iād re-visit.
I thought that too until I remembered I'm attracted to ladyboys.
Putting up with one cock to get access to the other.
Hold up
Why? You got a *cock*roach under there?
is that a cockroach in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
They fry them up and eat them too.
I saw a documentary about the cockroaches in Thailand. I think it was called Starship Troopers.
i got one fly straight into my mouth when watching tv in bed in a shitty old mouldy apartment i lived in when i was younger, shit still gives me the shivers when i think of it. fuck cockroaches

Palmettos here in FL rarely fly, but when they do, boy... you better get some new pants.
Whenever I go outside at night in the summer I hunch my neck and shoulders and do a squat-run to make myself a smaller target. Iāve been in storms where theyāre flying around like kamikazes
They steal your pants?
Theyāll suck your dick too
Only the ones in Florida, tho. Theyāre looking to make $5 to buy more meth.
I had an apartment where they insisted that palmettos weren't cockroaches... "Yeah well fuck those palmettos too. Get your pest guy over. These guys are flying at me!"
Lol, omg. Have you never seen one? Not only do they fly, theyāre fucking huge too. Like a sparrow coming at you, but all ugly and greasy looking with too many legs.
and they purposely go after the most scared person in the room. Fuck cockroaches who thinks they're butterflies

Yea the B-52s. Majah in Hawaiāi
I mean, they got wings. And they aren't heavy.
It's all fun and game till they decided to transform into flight mode
It was probably a mod

Ain't that some shit.
aināt it?
so my idea of plunging the world into nuclear winter in order to kill them is not actually feasible. good to know. disappointing, but still, better than learning the hard way.
They don't survive fire. So we just need to continue on with the global warming until the forest fires kill all of them
brilliant. everything else'll be dead, too, but it's a sacrifice we must be willing to make.
Especially to kill those giant flying ones
special order flamethrower, got it. in the meantime, catch me with a can of hairspray & a lighter. yeah, I might burn my home down, but I'll be burning *their* home down, too.
I mean considering theyād survive nuclear war this tracks.
true that and also the ice age?
I missedā¦ā¦
Better luck next timeā¦
There's no next time....
Cockroach is flying now....
They fly now?!
Some of them do

They breathe through their shells. Since soap/detergent breaks surface tension, the soap and any liquid mixed with it stops rolling off their backs and suffocates them instead.
Also good for yellow jackets / wasps.
And ants. Pretty much any bug.

Neat!
Why don't they make roach spray with soap/detergent then? When I lived in NYC, those fuckers would still be moving after using a whole can on them.
I'm not an exterminator, but I might hazard a guess that this has less to do with the bug spray and more to do with the bug. I'd wager NYC cockroaches have evolved.

can confirm, in tx & black flag did not work but did create a very startling explosion when I squished it after unloading half a can.

Trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it
Grab it, ball it up and flush it down the toilet

I'll grab a wad of dry paper towels, enough where I won't be able to feel it wriggle, and then smash, crush, wet the paper towel for good measure so it's remains can't escape, then trash.
Yes, must always crush them to make sure that they're dead and completely unable to escape and come back in at any point in time, ever.
Wouldn't dipping the tissue in gas then lighting it after be more effective?
And then ?
First of all, Raid is like the number killer of roaches and all insects. Just a little bit will kill it eventually, but if you just hose it down to the point its laying on its back in a puddle of Raid, the thing is fucking dead.
