leave it ,kill it or squash it???????????

I use spray insecticides or slipper to kill cockroaches and pick them up with cardboard and throw them outside or flush it. I'm scared of cockroach and if my Husband is home I will ask him to take care of it, lol.

if i can smash them with my shoes, i will when i see one. i hate this insects.

I immediately kill anything i see whatever way i can. Don't want anything crawling or flying around my house but me.

I will not leave it unless I've killed it by whatever means. Mostly I'd step on it and squeeze it tightly so it will turn into pieces before I'd sweep and throw in the bin. I hate crawling cockroaches and I will not leave them alive. But you are so funny! You seemed to be so afraid of cockroaches. Well, I can't blame you, most women are, but not me. They should rather be afraid of me because I will surely kill anyone I spotted.

Yuk,insects like that i would have to get someone to get rid of it as i do not like anything like that.My husband would kill it for me.

i usually kill it with spray insectticides.cockroach is tiresome.they spread disease.spoil clothes.i have a cat.when i feed the cat,there left some food .cockroach find the food and comes.i have to bought some spray insectticide and some food for cockroach with toxicine material to kill them.

You sound like my granddaughter. I heard her crying one night and I thought something had happened to her boyfriend but no. A cockroach had run across her foot. I don't fear the little monster but get the job of killing them for her. she won't go in a room if she knows one is there. I usually kill it then pick it up in a piece of toilet paper and flush it away.

OMG Riya don’t tell me…even my hubby picks it up with his bare hands and then just throws it out of the window ewww ewww ewww uggghhhhhhh yuk yuk yuk…I really fail to understand how somebody can catch a large creepy crawly insect with serrated legs with bare hands…I’m actually shivering even as I write my response. You know what I told my son one day…if ever you father wants to kill me (after one of our legendary fights and we were not on talking terms) all he has to do is empty a jar full of roaches on me and I would die of heart attack…OMG I am so scared of them i dont care what one does with it as long as I dont have to do anything at all and somebody removes that creature from my eyesight. Seriously Riya, I sometimes wonder what utility does the roach serve (except for scaring women) that its one of the oldest surviving insects on earth?

I don't know why people are afraid of a little thing like that. I would have done the same thing your husband did.

I used to not like to kill them, but now I just squash them to the best of my abilities and I also spray poison around to kill the ones I don't see

Leaving cockroaches roaming around the house is not only an ugly sight but they will spread germs in our house. We shouldn't allow them to invade our house and we should kill them at sight because they breed very fast. I have this pest control people coming to the house to spray the house every now and then to prevent these uninvited guest nesting in my house.

you know that saying..by the time you see one,there's probably dozens hiding somewhere.trying to kill it doesn't always work.they're pretty fast. the last one i saw in my old apartment pretty much laughed at me when i hit it with a coffeecup.as soon as i lifted it,off he went. you're probably better off getting an exterminator.

Hi riya, It depends on the size, if it is a large one then killing is difficult for me, if my hubby at home he can take care of it otherwise I will sweep them out. If the spray is available I will use the spray else I will allow it to go out. In our place only small sizes are seen most. Now we are using some herbal powder which will keep away the cockroaches, yes it is effective. Congrats for getting the blue star.

Well I would kill it cause they carry so much sickness they are nasty. But we don't have roaches. The best way to get rid of roaches is so easy. Just put out some baking soda all around the base boards and in the cabinets, just a small line of it barley noticeable to the human eye, and the roaches will eat it and they will die off. They can't expel gas so they blow up and die. You will hear them pop and there will be a mess after they die but it is all worth not having to put up with those nasty things. No reason to be scared of them your bigger then them just step on it and be rid of it.

What I do always is remove one of myb slippers and hit the loathsome pest and make a pulp of it and wash my lone slipper.I don't know but I always do this.May be because I carry at the back of my mind that these vermin are the cause f Asthma..

Hello my friend riyasam Ji, Well, I am little afraid, but I never run away from the scene. But my hubby will get peace only after killing poor chap.Looks very ugly to me. I can keep myself at peace in a room, whenever I see a cockroach. May God bless YOu and have graet time.

squashing..nay! killing ... nopes, i am not really scared of roaches but i find them creepy as well, well they do own a pair of long nice antennas so that they could be held and thrown away though....

I have never actually seen a cockroach but I think I would try and kill it if I did see it. They gross me out just thinking about them so I imagine I would rather run away from it but if I was alone, I would kill it. If my husband was home, he would do it for me. Yuck, I can't imagine seeing a cockroach.

i hate cockroach very much...i also have a case like you do..if i saw any of them i usually kill it by the insecticides..i'll not touch that creature..uhh~ never~

kill it dont squah it otherwise blood will spread
