JCC There is a flying Cockroach in my bathroom. What do I do?

I have children sleeping in the house, so burning it down is not an option.

 

Flyswatter and a boot with a good hard heel.

 

Go to bed and pray. It's in God's hands.

 

maybe try to just burn down the bathroom. what could go wrong?

 

Or at least pretend you don't know about it so if they discover it they have to deal with it.

 

Call the Men in Black.

 

I hear they're very nutritious.

 

DO NOT LET IT BREED

 

Wake up the kids, and let them burn down the bathroom. That way you can spend some quality time with them and get rid of the cockroach!

 

Can you scoot the kiddos out to say a friend's house then burn it down? Just to be safe? I am really worried about you.

 

Catch it and put it outside like a decent human being would.

 

Standard Texas protocol insists you buy it a cowboy hat and teach it how to lasso.

 

Catch it, take it outside...and THEN burn down the bathroom!

 

This is Diggy we're talking about here.

 

Catch it and feed it to the huge spiders probably living under your bed.

 

Funny story... I was once on a conference call with Asia at around 3 am here, during a hot August rainstorm... and in the middle of the call I looked up and sitting between the slats of my blinds was a gigantic cockroach, just chillin' like a villain.

I said "Uh, hey folks... excuse me, I need to go on mute for a second...," put the phone on mute calmly, and then tried to beat the crap out of this thing for like 5 very loud minutes, but it escaped. I found it on a 5 lb. dumbbell (sorry Punk!) in the bedroom later, and finally killed it. The people on the call were none the wiser...

 

Would you like to know more?

 

Sell the house. Sell the car. Sell the kids.

 

If the kids have been bugging you for a pet, now you have one..
