I haven't seen a roach in a long time (not in our current place) but my husband is the bug killer in our place!!

If he's not around, I find something to smash it with...very hands off! Lol.

I'd like to say "with a baseball bat", but a) that's a bad idea and b) we don't own a baseball bat. We use shoes or books, then paper towel in which we squish the living daylights out of the suckers. Our area is horrible with roaches, though our apartment isn't bad.

I haven't seen any roaches here so far but we get stink bugs. Now those gross me out! They look so prehistoric. And they fly! Good thing they're slow crawlers and easy to catch. I crush it with a tissue and down the toilet it goes. If husband is around then I make him do it.

Cockroaches are so gross. The worst thing about killing them with a shoe is you get to hear and feel the crunch. When I lived in Savannah, we had them bad. I bought tons of bottles of bug spray, extra strength. Those buggers are tricky, though. I would have my can of spray on the coffee table, see one and start spraying. I swear some of those jerks enjoyed it. I'd spray, it would fly into a corner. I'd spray again and it wouldn't move. Are you drinking it??? Finally a third spray would knock it out. Now that I think about it, that apartment was probably pretty gross with all the bug spray everywhere...

Paper towel over them and then whack with a shoe or book. I can't stand the crunch noise so I have found the paper helps. Also good for the mess.

DH sprays and then puts the bug spray can over the roach. You then get rid of it later.

I hate roaches but living on the coast you have to deal with them I think.

I scream my head off and start crying and hide in my bed while yelling at the hubs to kill the bastard!

Oh God, I HATE them! Just moved into a new place in Brooklyn a few weeks ago and have seen two giant ones. Luckily, my husband was home both times and he got them with the spray. I have heard that stepping on them can release their egg sack (gross!) and result in more roaches, so I always spray.

I squeal and flap my hands around while yelling for my husband. If he isn't home I call my dog and he'll kill it. My husband always makes me pick it up and flush it.

I scream for DH. He will usually go get a papertowel, or a shoe, whatever is close.

When I lived by myself, I would spray him, and leave him for days until I was 100% sure that he was dead. Then I would use an oven mit and paper towel (so I didn't have to feel the squish or crunch) to pick him up, and flush him.

I use the closest thing to me - shoe, paper towels, tissue paper, mail, etc. then toss it in the trash can.

@mr.bee lol I should have been more specific.. As in no tissue or anything I can feel it with, preferably a broom or something where it can be far, far away!! And then pick it uP on a paper or something!
