Why ... ???
Why ... ???
If you see any cockroaches in your home, please do not beat it or stepping on it to death even its guts out. Why?
Because in cockroaches' stomach, there are worms that are so little and soft that remain alive despite the outside of the cochroaches body. When the worms are already outside of the body or abdomen of cochroaches it will move to find a new place to live / new breeders.
This worm shape is very short, small, smooth and soft when it will only be seen with naked eye from about 10-20cm.
To see clearly these worms, you can put the death cochroaches on a black paper or above a mirror ... there will be seen the worms are so small that moving !!
So if we step on the cochroaches body, it will be very dangerous if the worm touches the skin of our body, especially the legs, because it can enter through the pores of the skin especially when there are open sores on the foot skin.
Preferably, kill cochroaches simply by using insect repellent spray, which can kill roaches without having to remove out the contents of its stomach.
