A traumatizing near-death experience last evening.

Singapore needs a pest-exterminator as Metropolis needs Superman. Honestly, the cockroaches are public enemy #1. There is just so much to hate about cockroaches, I could name a few reasons:

1. They are cockroaches
2. They move faster than lightning, or so it seems
3. The females friggin' FLY!
4. They don't look anywhere near friendly
5. They are dirty, and thus;
6. They carry diseases
7. They look horrible when squashed
8. They dirty your floors
9. They ruin your day
10. They cause men to grow bald
11. They cause global warming

Like who could possibly love a bald man or global warming, right. I could have gone on and on but it would have taken all day. However, I'm lucky enough to not live in Australia. Why? Because they have the largest cockroaches in the world, some growing as long as 9cm! Asian roaches average around 1.5cm. Imagine, a 9cm long cockroach weighing more than 30 grams... running across your bedroom... that could kill me alright.

So how do you kill a cockroach? Those anti-pests sprays don't seem to work well on cockroaches, do they? That's simply because cockroach is one of the hardiest animals in the planet. They can hold their breath for 45 mins, be without food for a month, and stay alive headless for a week. Even cats don't compare to that. Cockroaches will die when they're flipped upside down. If you're going to kill a cockroach with an anti-roach spray, make sure you spray closely to the roach, and have it confirmed that the cockroach flip upside down. Those cockroach sprays are meant to cause the roaches to have muscular spasm, so it doesn't kill the roaches with the chemicals but rather by flipping them upside down.

With those information, I hope now you know your enemy better!
