Sometimes we have a cockroach in the house. It's inevitable when you live in the tropics. I simply pick them up with my hands and put them outside. In the beginning that was a bit creepy but they don't bite. They are actually closely related to the praying mantis and nobody seems to fear those.
Thank you for creating more awareness for this harmless critter.
That's part of the beautiful tropical life i guess. We got 3 times a snake in our house, that requires a bit more planning, especially if you don't have a clue how to get them out in a safe way, I am absolutely not the hero that gets them nicely around a stick and carry them out. One time, I just made smoke and more smoke and that helped. Another time, we lost track of it and we had to go to sleep a few nights knowing that the snake was in the house, that was really scary and it is these kind of experiences that make me realise the cockroach is absolutely nothing to be scary about :-)
