Death by Shampoo

I killed a cockroach.

This is the third house I’ve moved to since leaving home to seek independence..so far I’ve never had a cockroach problem. Last night there was a lone and somewhat young cockroach, you can see it hasn’t developed its wings fully, scurrying around my bathroom as I got ready to shower. I bolted out the bathroom, locking the cockroach in, ran to the kitchen and laundry area desperately seeking a bottle of insecticide.

There was none.

Splashing water on the cockroach only made it scurry under the door. This time I am standing inside the bathroom, door is closed as I really don’t fancy the little critter running into my bedroom. My eyes zeroed in on the shampoo. A soapy solution to drown the bugger, it tried to climb up the door but I splashed shampoo all over it, the last step was to pump the shampoo directly onto the cockroach as it lay on its back, helpless and legs in the air.

I waited for it to die. Cockroaches sometimes play dead, they’ll flip over and run up your arm as soon as you attempt to dispose of it. Eeeek!

The night ended with waiting for my flatmate to come home and explaining to her why the bathroom floor was slippery with shampoo. She agreed with me: the cockroach HAD TO DIE.

No other way about it.

Update, I’ve killed quite a few lately. I don’t mean to be all sadistic, but I caught myself saying ‘DIE, *#$(#$&(^&(&^%&!@%!’ as I sprayed the damn roach silly with Mortein.
