I "woke up" about 1 minute into the shortest shower when I saw this guy staring me in the face. (See rotating photo gallery)
The shortest shower of my life being over, I quickly invented the "Kairo Kockroach Killer" (other photo in the gallery) and went to work. I took a final picture, but decided not to share the aftermath images of the battle. It lasted about a minute, as the Kairo Kockroach took 5 hits and the carnage covered the greater part of my bathroom. It just would not die.
You have to know, I've been there 3 weeks, have been meticulous about cleaning and sparaying, and until today have only seen 3 very small ants. Needless to say, while I've been expecting the occasional roach, this one - and especially it's size of about 5 inches long - took me by surprise.
So, I've bug bombed and cockroach sprayed my apartment and don't plan on going back for a while. I think I'll give it another shot tomorrow morning as well.

Come on Foster - Cockroaches are all part of the web of life!! That said don't ever let them see fear or it will all be over.

Deep fry the cockroaches and season with fresh cumin powder.

ReplyDeletelooks like a smaller cousin to the Mexican roach I had ambush me in a Matamoros Brothel... I meant to say Motel, before I was kicked out of the country, so be careful about what you say about a country's roaches.
