How-To Kill a Cockroach Kindly
The freaks come out at night, and so do the cockroaches -– and lots of other pests. More than half of U.S. homes used insecticides to get rid of the buggers. But did you know those sprays can harm human health, pet health, and the environment? Umbra shows you how to kill the buzzing -- without being a planetary buzzkill.

@ashrocks87 I don’t have so much roaches now. because I had to win the house from them when I first came. Every night, they came out, and I tried spraying them, squishing them, but there were always more. Then I discovered gutting. You hold them down, you hold down their legs with your fingers, and you take a knife, and you make an incision (cut) and let it go! It will stagger around, but will die soon. Then you spray the entire house while gutting more, and voila, no more roaches!

@GTAIVisbest
ahahha that’s some torture! but aren’t you afraid the roach might crawl in to your arms?
because that’s why people hate roaches..because they have spiky legs, and it’s somehow irritating if they get on your skin!
@ashrocks87

@ashrocks87
You simply get ‘em on their back and then slice their stomachs open… Spray them with deoderant, not raid, just so they choke a little, and slice their belly, and watch them stagger around with their guts hanging out!

you should step in it, then drag your feet backwards while still on the ground..and then do a twister, i mean a whole body twist!

that works everytime, and by epic i mean EPIC!
