I just killed a cockroach while washing dishes in the kitchen a while ago. It was pretty nasty! Luckily, I saw that little no good roach roaming in my kitchen sink . At first, the presence of that thingy startled me. It was a good thing that there were plenty of improvised weapons within arms reach in the kitchen. I grab myself a white container's cover and whack that poor little bas**rd into a pulp! After that I washed its mangled body into the pits of the stinking sink. Adios to the "la ca curacha"!
