Giant Cockroaches

There are two giant cockroaches in my house. One in my kitchen and another in the bathroom. They may not measure much but dreams transform them into two foot monsters that could scare the hell out of any one.

There’s a giant cockroach in my kitchen

It winks and scares my kitten

And vanishes behind the fridge door

There’s another in the bathroom

That seems to stare at me when I groom

Only to disappear when I try to hit it

The couple at times drive me crazy

For no insecticide makes them lazy

I must wait for another day!

Once we went on vacation in a rural area, and we rented a house there. When we slept on the airbed, two cockroaches climbed up on top the bed! You can imagine my fright.

I am not a fan of cockroaches at all. If you’ve seen two, there are probably many more lurking and they can breed quickly, so I would try to rid myself of them ASAP if I were you.

Hope you get rid of them soon. Oh, I am so happy that cockroaches are not very spread here in Slovakia.

Yeah, Jimmy; I understand we get some monsters down here too. My oldest daughter once had one nest in her ear. Yuck!

Put a thin line of ascorbic acid around your baseboards they will vanish. Did you ever read my short story “The Giant Cockroach?”

Spray them with RAID…………Cockroaches, I am terrified of them especially when I find them in the bathroom. A very humorous article.

Here in the Philippines, we put “Pandan leaves” in places where cockroaches inhabit. Pandan leaves are abundant here, I just don’t know what it is called in other countries. Maybe, you should use it.
