Got little brown insects terrorizing your room? No worries, as an expert in exterminating them roaches, I’m going to give you guys a simple and totally practical method to end their miserable life once and for all with minimal effort.
First, to exterminate your pest, you would need only 1 thing; newspaper. Select your daily newspaper which when rolled up fits perfectly in your grip. Make sure that it isn’t too thick of a roll and neither too thin. If it’s too thick, it won’t be a firm grip and the newspaper might just fly out of your hand when you’re preparing for a swing. If it’s too thin, the impact wouldn’t be strong enough to kill your unwanted visitor.
Now for the simple steps to exterminate your everyday roach:
1. When a roach is within the area of your room, it’s pretty noticeable even if you can’t see it yet because of the smell that it emits. The strong scent is a warning for you to get your newspaper ready for battle.
2. Have your newspaper on standby because once it enters your sight, it is your signal to start your hunt.
3. Roaches are pretty quick things so it’s always good to have the element of surprise on your side. Try to coax the thing out into the open by using a broom, a badminton racquet or a stick; anything long enough that can be used as an extension of your arm.
4. If the roach ever gets behind of a piece of furniture, for example your cupboard, remove anything near it to create enough space for you to swing you arm and whack it. After that, slowly, and I do mean very slowly, push the cupboard out from its original position to reveal the hidden roach. Do this very slowly because any abrupt movement will cause the insect to scurry away and you’ll have to begin your hunt again.
5. Once in sight, make sure to not startle them and make them go back into hiding again. Be cautious with your movements and be as soundless as possible. Once you have a good view of the creature and also enough space for a full swing, take your aim.
6. Be sure to have a few quick test aims before the actually swat, like how golfers don’t hit the golf ball on the first swing. This will help you increase your accuracy as you’ll get a feel of hitting that exact spot before having to hit it for real. Please execute this step as quick as possible.
7. Once that is done, take a deep breath and with all your might, swing your arm and hit that insect. If you succeed on your first attempt, congratulations but if you missed, quickly collect your weapon and hit it again before it goes back into hiding.
8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 until insect is killed.
9. Once killed, if you’re too squeamish to pick it up using the newspaper with your hands, get the broom and the dustpan and sweep it up. in the hitting process, you might notice some of its…juices ..might have splashed all over the floor. It really stinks so clean it up properly.
So this is Zhi’s guide to killing your everyday roach. All the best!
