Blog EntryIpis.May 7, '08 6:30 PM
for everyone
Last night while in the middle of my sleep I was shaken into consciousness by a sensation of something moving on my hands. I opened my eyes and with the help of the light coming from my window, i saw a cockroach staring at me, I jumped out of my bed thus also surprising the little fucker and causing it to scamper under my bed.

I do try to make my room as tidy as i can, the books neatly stacked on my bookshelf, my reading table as much as possible should be rid of any uneccessary things lying over it. I sweep the dust on my floor, top of the tv and the telly rack itself. Every Saturday I vaccum even the unreachable corners of my room.

Still, cockroaches exist once in a while. Few months ago i killed one with my slipper. Last night the tiny fucker escaped under the bed. So what i did was to shake the bed hoping to attract that fucker out in the open. I waited there for a few minutes with a rolled up old magazine in my hand. In my urgency, i initially grabbed a porn magazine, a classic issue of Penthouse year 1982. I decided against using it so instead i grabbed one of those magazine that they give away for free at Powerbooks when you purchase more than 1,000 bucks worth of books.

So i waited for the pesky cockroach to make its appearance. I was starting to get sleepy, but the thought of a cockroach making another landing on my face won't give me the peace of mind to sleep.

Then it made its appearance, i waited for it to crawl towards the middle part of the floor before i bashed it with my rolled up magazine, its guts flew all over, it struggled to live with few movements then i hit it once again, took it up using the magazine and threw it on my empty thrash bin.

This morning i looked at my thrash bin and the dead body of the little fucking cockroach was missing.(I know, should have thrown it in the toilet bowl and flushed it straight to the poso negro).

Did it managed to survived and after a succesful regeneration of its wounds, crawled out of my thrash bin and hid under the bed again with the purpose of waking me up again tonight by crawling on my face?


I need to buy some "Baygon" later. Think that will settle the score with that cunning little bug.

additional tips:
1.wag magdala ng pagkain sa kwarto o mag-iwan ng pinagkainang plato.
2.siguraduhing laspag ang katawan ng ipis at itapon kaagad sa basurahan.
3. maligo (baka amoy-pagkain ka sa kanila).
4. fumigate.

Lol, this made me remember my ghastly experience when i was still living in manila. A huge black rat, the size of a regular cat, jumped on my bed while i was sleeping! It was nuzzling my forearm, and i swear was watching me sleep the whole time! I still shiver everytime i think about it. eeeekkkkk....

Lol last night nagiinuman kami when this motherfucker ipis suddenly appeared as in surprise panic mode pinsan ko. Mga kasama naming lalake nag-aagawan kung sino hahampas sa kanya. Aba ng pinalo buhay pa ayos.

Sabi ng friend kong ulol kapag daw lumilipad ang ipis wag na patayin kasi once lang daw sila lilipad sa buhay nila ibig sabihin daw mamamatay na sila weird i dont know san nya nakuha yun. Kaya kapag nakakakita ako ng lumilipad na ipis yun lagi sinasabi ko.

Hmmm... Maybe you ate and forgot to wash your hands. I don't know if this happens to everyone but it has happened to quite a few people that I know. You know when you are eating and you scratch somewhere in your eye area and the next day you wake up with this bite over your eye... so ya... that is an uber gross thought to have a cockroach on your face. Eeeewwwwww!!! My mom has always been scared of them and has passed them on to me and the picture you have above just totally makes my skin crawl (no offense.) You might also want to put chalk following the lines of your room... it might help.

They eat basically anything, even soap. but no, they are still one of the dirtiest insects! there are sprays, baits and bait stations. Sprays work well for contact kill but they won't get rid of your cockroaches. Cockroaches will sense the smell and will go back into the wall ,cracks and crevices while waiting for the smell to disappear.

Baits seem to work best. What to use? Combat Roach Killing Gel. It targets the nest and kill eggs.Apply this gel in all cracks and crevices in your home and all kitchen cabinets but you don't have to empty your cabinets. Just apply the gel in tiny dots about the size no larger than a pea. Apply it to all corners of your cabinets and anywhere else you see roaches.How Combat Roach Killing Gel 1 Works:

* Roaches eat the gel and die in the nest.
* Other roaches eat them and die.
It has no Vapor or smell so it's undetectable.

But like any other insect killing agents, better read first the instruction and proper storage to avoid harm to children and pets.

Did you know that for every cockroach you see in your house....there are 600 or more potentially hiding? ;) Best way to kill them is roach gel, but sad to say, unless everyone of your neighbors decide to do the same thing, the infestation won't stop. :P

OH, BUT THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN A COCKROACH THAT RESURRECTS. SERIOUSLY, I KILLED ONE ONCE (WELL, I HAD SOMEONE ELSE KILL IT FOR ME... I WAS TOO CHICKEN TO GO NEAR IT) AND WE THREW IT OUT. A FEW MOMENTS LATER, IT WAS BACK, GLARING BACK AT ME. SERIOUSLY.
