Kill it or throw it outside.

Oh, no. A bug`s in my house. Run to the hills.
As you may have understood from my sarcasm, I wouldn`t care in the slightest.

I would step on it.
Or I may disable it and then kill it with a roach killer, and watch it die.
Or I'd just ignore it and he will go away.

What a strange thread...I would squish it and trash him, end of line.

I mean, who would do otherwise? Are you expecting to see someone say: '' Well, I'd train him to do acrobatics and then I'd make a cockraoch circus.''.

I deal with roaches coming into my house all the time where I live. I spray it with bug spray to slow it down then I cover it with the can so I can get a tissue or something to crush and flush it.

With the roaches around here what you don't want to do is throw a brick at them, your just giving them a weapon.

I smash roaches w/ anything and everything... except bare skin... YUCK!!!! that's a disgusting thought... and then now that I have chickens at my house (mom wanted them >_>...) I take the sometimes still squirming/alive roach/bug over to the chickens and watch them tear it apart limb from limb and fight over the innards. Chickens = awesome to watch kill bugs.

Are you all kidding me? Roaches are impervious to everything.

I don't see bugs often in my house. I'd probably just crush it with my shoe or something then throw it away or flush it down the toilet. I despise insects.

If i see a cockroach in my house, i'll kill it. What else will you do...>_>

I have had more than a few in a cabin I visit every other summer. All you do is either get a container of some sort and put it over it and just throw the roach outside, or a broom works sometimes too if they're close to the way out. You could squish it, but then you have to clean it up. A Vaccuum works too, although roaches can be fairly big, a hand vaccuum probably wouldn't do it...and then it's probably still alive unless the vaccuum cuts the stuff it sucks up.

it depends on how big it is. if it's a size bigger then my thumb, i would use a bug spray and then kill it. or if i lay some tape and lure it on to it, it would be cool if it got stuck on there, no where to go, and then i would come in and squash it!

If I saw a cockroach in my house, I'd get an airgun and blast it into next week.

If there was a cockroach in my house I would sqwish it. It's quick and get the job done. I wouldn't use bugspray though, I tried it once on a fly and a had to watch it wriggle in pain for about 20 seconds before it died. Sadly I'm not sadistic enough to watch that with any creature.

If (and when) I see a cockroach (random bug) in my house I pick it up and show my mom who'll friek out and then give it to my chickens or spray with bug spray continuesly.

I would run out of the door screaming.

I would burn it until it died.
