17. Kill the leader and leave the body there as a warning to the rest.
18. Ant food (what the bodies become after a couple of days)
19. Stick a camera on them and send them in as spies
20. Use them as moving target practice for anything that you wish to throw
21. Use them as a 'boy caller'...that's what they are here - i shout cockroach and the boys are in here with squishing instruments on roach hunts within minutes!
22. Use them to get high from insecticide (no, actually, don't do this, it takes an amazing amount of insecticide to even stun the things...you're more likely to end up unconscious before they do...)
23. Use them as flamethrower practice at 3am when everyone else is asleep and there's one in the bathroom watching you pee.
24. Watch where they like to go and then take it as a marker that that bit of your home needs cleaning.
25. Use them as kitchen cleaners...the smallest scraps will disappear and then you can bleach like crazy!

26. Make a cardboard model of tortoise and super-glue it to the back of a cockroach. Let it roam around the house and tell every one you have pet tortoise.

"Why is your tortoise crawling up the wall?"

''Uhm....?"

27. Dress them in a suit and let them stand for Parliament ...... What do you mean? 600 odd have already done that ....... No one ever told me .... Are you sure? Did they get in? .....They did? You're kidding! (And I thought I was just being silly.)

Love and Peace

"Did I just see a Minister crawling up the wall...?''
