I got this idea one night after eating one of those microwavable meals that come in a plastic bowl. At the time I was working twelve hour days so by the time I got home I had enough time to have dinner, shower and then have a quick read before going to bed and starting the whole routine again.

So I had finished my meal and left the bowl on the floor, intending to put it in the recycling bin later on.

The next day I awoke to the sound of something scratching around. I looked around and there was my bowl, complete with at least twenty cockroaches. What a perfect way of getting rid of cockroaches. If you’re a Buddhist like my mum you can take the container outside and release the cockroaches. Non-Buddhist me chose to kill them instead. All I had to do was spray them with insecticide. Trapped with no where to go, the cockroaches carked it in a few seconds. I then tossed them into the toilet and flushed them away.

That's an interesting way to get rid of the pesky critters! Another way you could have disposed of them (without having to spray) would be to pick the bowl up and place it in a zip-lock bag, then just put it in the trash. Not quite as humane as the Buddhist method, but you don't have to smell the icky spray!

Ah, but I wanted to recycle the bowl which I did after disposing the cockroaches.

Thanks for sharing.
