How to Kill Cockroaches the Fun Way

By Azhar Kamar in Others

I found out something quite interesting about these very much hated creatures. It was a few months back – I was in the kitchen going to the corner where my big fat cat’s food bowl is, to top it up with more goodies. And there was that dirty little pest of a cockroach in the bowl having dinner off my cat’s. I am a super anti-cockroach dude so there was nothing else left to do in this world at that point of time other then to eliminate that cockroach.

I didn’t want to spray insecticide because if I did, I had to really wash the bowl thoroughly to avoid accidentally poisoning my kitty to death. Kicking and shaking the bowl didn’t really bother that damn roach so I had to think of plan B.

The Fun Part

I took a cup of hot boiling water from the flask and quickly splashed it into the bowl. And amazingly, that cockroach died instantly. It was quite cool cos it didn’t wiggle its legs or try to run or anything. As soon as I gave it the hot boiling bath, it immediately stopped moving and died. As compared to spraying insecticide, this method is much more cleaner and yields better results but I agree that grabbing a can of insecticide is less troublesome than getting a cup of hot water.

But hey, it’s a fun way to kill cockroaches (to me at least). Try it!.
