Cockroach - Blog Posts

yall we got a roach in the bathroom (mom thinks theyre coming from the pipes) and tell me why when i came home from my driving lesson, i wanted to wash my hands (covid has instilled washing your hands immediately when you come home in me) so i opened the bathroom door, turned on the light, and saw the roach RUNNING from the toilet to back under the washing machine where it hides 😭

i was spooked but then calmed down and found how it moved so funny 😭

wish i was able to take a picture but the two times i saw it i didnt bring my phone with me

i have an odd fascination with bugs. i love to look at them but sudden movement from them makes me scared bc the way they move is always so funny/odd to me

Hi! Here I am again with the silly silly roach indulging in harmful behaviours lolz :3c

Tw: blood, SH, Bad coping mechanism, escapism, hallucinations, a tad bit suggestive

I really like them they work as a cashier, they have masochistic tendencies and are an asshole/jerk (thought it's mostly because of trauma and because they're trying to overcompensate for their low self steem so yeah)

made some really cool valentines to give to your special someone tomorrow :)

How do you get rid of cockroaches?

Cockroaches are hearty pests, they have existed in different forms for millions of years and have become adept at the art of survival. They have continually adapted to most chemical treatments, leaving dangerous chemical residue that harms humans and pets. Cockroaches are anything but clean, they routinely dig through garbage and any other waste imaginable. Then they crawl all over countertops, foodstuffs and kitchenware. Roach droppings and bodies have been reported to act as asthmatic triggers that increase the intensity and frequency of asthma problems. Baits tend to work well with these species because they cannibalize the poisoned bodies of their fallen comrades. An often overlooked solution is to sprinkle infested areas with diatomaceous earth (DE). DE is often used in pool filters, it consists of fossilized marine remains that forms a fine talc-like powder. This substance is completely inert and will not pose any threat to people or animals. DE has an almost microscopic crystalline structure that will perforate and kill the soft bodied roaches. Roaches cannot adapt to this material because it physically harms the abdomen of the roach. As with other pests, it is important to make sure that window and door frames are sealed and all structural cracks are filled in. Make sure to eliminate damp areas, leaks and spills as well as food sources to limit their access to the necessary food and water. In order to use a more specific roach treatment, it is recommended that you place sticky traps in order to allow for more a positive identification of species.

hey (shows you my roach)
