Typical Hollywood, two pages for a bug.
BOATS, based on a true story.
On a lighter note, we could make a theme song.
We could call it, ''I killed a roach today'',
sung to the tune of ''Almost cut my hair'',

I leave the dead ones where they are hoping to show new ones what happens here. I'm not sure it works, though. I think they're cannibals so they may just think it's a bonus.

Years ago I lived in a rental house that was infested. There was a gap of a few inches underneath the stove, and I would lay in the kitchen floor, with my Marksman BB pistol that looks like a 1911, and my MagLite, and jacklight 'em under the stove.
Until my wife told me I was disgusting and had to quit.

Sip is now the official forum Cockroach Tough Guy, or CTG.
Still, you should have filed an Environmental Impact Report and picked up your WeHo cockroach tag before taking action. This gonna go on your jacket?

Working in an electronics lab, we had a static electric generator to test electrical circuits for static sensitivity. You could zap a cockroach with it and it would appear dead. Zap it again and it would come back to life. A cockroach was good for about 5 reincarnations before you could no longer revive it. One got away and I think he told his friend because we never saw anymore after that.
I applaud the OP for not hesitating to take the necessary action. The only good roach is a dead roach.

Evolution wise, cockroaches have been on earth for eons -- they continue to evolve to fit their circumstances -- the ones I see at night scurrying around now have been wearing hoodies. Go figure.

''The only good roach is a dead roach''.
Species racist.

I can just picture Lee bragging on the finest firearm forum on the net and inviting the visitor to pop in and enjoy the refined discourse as a final touch before completing the paperwork on the IPO that will make him richer than the guy on facebook.....and getting the "Killed a cockroach yesterday" thread as his first read

Around here you stomp on a roach and he just walks away laughing, then comes back later with his buddies

Tread lightly if you visit Florida my friend. We have "Palmetto Bugs" that can bench press 275 pounds.

If I shoot a roach with a Model 10 loaded with +P ammo, will it hurt the gun?
