I never considered myself keeping a cockorach in my flat as a pet...
i know that somehow they are part of the evolution anc food chain.
I know that I should respect all living creatures as part of the universal and cosmic balance.
BUT. If the things decide to come into MY flat and invade MY space and poo on MY diving t-shirt, it's altogether a different story: it's the beginning of WAR.
The first one was found next to the bed, lying on his back (doing yoga or something ??!!) and was evicted from the house with a warning: never come back! To make my point clear, I sprayed it with some tanning oil before setting him free (he didn't like that!)
The second one was found ALIVE in my cupboard, pooing on my diving t-shirt. That was TOO much. The battle began. With a bucket and the toilet brush to corner him... then I grabbed Extra vergin olive oil and threw all over his brown body...!! As many of you know, cockroaches cannot breath anymore if covered in oil.. so I was pleased about the result: no nasty chemicals, no long suffering for the beast, and my nest pest-free for another few days.
And they lived happily ever after. Until a new beast decided to invade.
