See, I know a lot of people hate these creepy crawlers. In households, people usually apply insecticides to kill cockroaches roaming around, be it spray or bait. But what if you're in a situation where you don't have instant access to the insecticide, and you know you have to kill it instantly? Are you willing to kill it by using your shoes or slippers? Or do you use other stuff?
To start off, I used and tried a lot of stuff. Rubbing alcohol/alcohol, is one common example. However, I've been to situations where I also don't have alcohol on hand, so I used other stuff such as facial toners, etc. What would you do?

In situations, where i see a cockroach, i would kill him with my shoes or slippers. Then i would scoop it with a dust pan and throw it outside in the yard. I would wash my hands well with soap and water.

I wouldn't do that if i were you. It would further block the drain.
I would get a tissue paper instead, and pick it up and flush it into the toilet bowl.

Actually, it works. It doesn't block the drain (I've been doing this for years LOL) but yeah I agree with you using the tissue paper to pick up the damned creepy crawler. But it's too gross. :((
