You lying little bugger!!!!

Yesterday when I was putting a load of washing on, I noticed a small cockroach on the floor on it's back. I thought to myself that after I hang other clothes out to dry, I will come back to remove the cockroach. I forgot all about it. Until this evening. My dad goes into the laundry and sees the cockroach and I said "Oh crap I forgot about that. I will get rid of it." But little brat should get an Oscar award because whilst I was trying to brush it into something, it started to move and ran away. I knew this was a thing that they do but once again, it had me fooled. ( not that we have cockroaches often but ya know what I mean ). This isn't over. I shall wait for it. Cringe and probably squeal a little but it WILL be going outside as soon as I get the chance.

@VivaLaDani13 Most times they would fly to your direction and land on your body part.

I take it you don't kill them? cause just taking them outside don't help solve it, you just give it another chance to come back in & you know they carry disease's right? just like rats & mice do, That's something you DON'T need. I don't like roaches, bugs, creepy crawly things like mice or rats & snakes.

@2ndchances24 I mostly carry them in the dustpan and put them well away from the house. I don't like creepy crawlies either.

@2ndchances24 Yeah it's tough when unwanted creatures come in especially when they are affecting out belongings and way of living.

@VivaLaDani13 I kill all bugs that don't belong in my place just like all the mice that took over my bed, my kitchen, my bathroom, all my clothes, I had to buy all new clothes again.

I really detest them but they must have a reason for being here in the world although I cannot think of what it is. Much much worse is to come across a whole amount of them like they were in the Baths where we went swimming at School and the sreeching noise they make is something quite unearthly I never went back there again I can tell you.

@VivaLaDani13 They are capable of making me run off I don“t know what it is about them but you have to eradicate any sign of a lot of them tell them to go and buzz off. Yes the noise they made was really awful I came across it by chance it scared me more than the water itself.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I'm sorry you hate them so much and I really do hope you never come across anything like that again.

Don't release it back outside! Kill it. If you release it back outside, it will just come back in again.

@VivaLaDani13 You really think that was the same roach? Here in Florida, they always say that for every roach you do see, there are 10 more that you don't see!

I have a can of RAID near those places. I hate roaches (I have a scar on my knee after falling on the floor running from one outdoors in the dark) So, if I see one at home, I spray it just in case immediately. I know they are lying beasts!

@JudyEv *cringes* In the toilet. The other night as I was going to the bathroom I saw a spider dangling. I'm guessing it bungee jumped off the roof right after I walked inside because it was dangling right in front of the door where I had just walked into.

@Nevena83 I didn't "let it escape." I scooped it up and it fell back on the ground and ran off under where I couldn't see. But it went into my brother's room not long after and my brother killed it.
