It has been a long time since I last saw this insect inside my house, and this time I found a house cockroach. According to my mother, the presence of cockroaches is a sign that a house is dirty. In fact, cockroaches do tend to prefer dirty and damp places, although I am not entirely sure whether this is always true. What I do know is that my mother's intention in saying this is to remind us to keep our house clean at all times.
I managed to find this cockroach in my kitchen, and my older sister was actually the first one to spot it. She screamed hysterically when the cockroach suddenly ran in front of her. That was when I immediately decided to get it out of the house. However, before removing it, I took a little time to photograph it first.
It is strongly recommended that you avoid playing with or touching this cockroach because it can spread bacteria, just like flies. Therefore, one of the recommended ways to deal with it is to spray it with insecticide.
Okay everyone, now I will share some pictures of this cockroach here.
