How to catch a cockroach


About three days ago there was a cockroach in the closet. He managed to escape as I was fumbling around trying to choose the correct weapon of destruction. He was rather large and I did not want to smear him all over the place. Once a pest has escaped, what are your options? I decided to check my bed every night in case he had crawled under my covers. I poked about here and there for a bit but with no luck.


It is very cold in my house so I almost have a hot drink of some kind. Many times it gets left on my desk. I guess I hadn’t finished a cup of cocoa and when I came home this afternoon I decided to dump it out and start fresh. Well, my long lost pest was floating in my cocoa. That put me off the idea of enjoying some chocolate and also of using that mug.


So, if you ever need to catch a cockroach, leave out a cup of cocoa. They can’t resist!
