gosh there really were a couple. those filthy things probably crawled in from under my door. yes, two roaches decided to make their way under my living room couch when i spotted one while on my way out moments ago.
i'd initially thought there to be only one of them. when i initiated my scare technique i could only see one everytime trying to escape from under the couch but then decided to run back into the safety of the bottom of the couch. so i switched to my gas attack! insecticide at both ends of the couch. still it didn't budge. then i stood back a while and spotted one crawling up the wall. with a healthy dose of the gas, it tumbled back under the couch. i immediately doused the area with more insecticide.
i finally offered my searchlight strategy, pointing 2 torches at both ends of the couch. and there they were! i spotted BOTH on their backs! just to make sure, i sprayed some more at both, while my lights were directed at both of them. but they were hard to reach, and i was not about to leave them lying there to attract other insects.
therefore i then decided that they were immobilised and safe enough for me, so i proceeded to move the couch away. piece by piece. the cushions weren't exactly light, and were rather cumbersome in their soft cushiony shapes too. after much sweat, i cleared a path, opened the door, and prepared to move the last piece of the furniture that they were both under. i was about to send these uninvited guests out the door.
but to make sure they don't decide to recover and come back in, i initiated my newspaper attack on both. filthy insects as they were, they could still move and wriggle despite being disabled. nevertheless, their struggle was futile, as i used my newspaper to swipe them out the door like a golf club in the rough.
