    Damn, every time I leave this place I delete the memory of how disgustingly huge cockroaches get, and then every time I come back I get a rude shock. 🤢 Loathsome creatures…

        My mum is vehemently anti-killing to the point that she won’t even relocate bugs off her treasured curry leaf plants that are constantly under attack - I’ve never seen the insides of a roach and don’t think I’m in a rush to 😬

        At my old place I’d catch them under a cup and throw them outside. My mum puts kitchen gloves on and grabs them just like that which freaked me out massively as a child and as an adult

          Wow. Full props to your mum. My mum (when growing up in the tropical soup) was fully supportive of killing. I don’t think we dented the numbers though

      In Sydney I had ones that had been poisoned so many times they stopped dying and grew curly wings 🤮
