20 Best Ways to Kill A Cockroach

I paired up with Tracey for this assignment. We picked one of those 20 ideas that we thought was the best, and developed the idea into something really practical in real life. And that is....

BAKING IT!

We found baking cockroaches is really practical and exciting, especially during the Halloween. Hey, what could be spookier than finding roaches inside cupcakes and on cookies?! 

This becomes even more practical because we can make a business out of it and sell 'em as Halloween treats. It's awesome!

Back to beginning, killing cockroaches using microwave and oven also has higher chance to kill them compared to other ways, such as smacking them with books, slippers, etc. Killing them with insect spray is way too boring, either. We are arts people! So we should apply creativity to anything we do.

You might be wondering, is cockroach even edible?

Quoted from a Thailand website: http://healthclover.com/cockroaches-edible-healthy-eat/ , it is.

Yes, cockroaches are edible and healthy to eat provided that they are cooked properly to ensure that bacteria present on the body is killed prior to eating.

You probably consider eating a cockroach disgusting, as in Western society we do not value insects as a food source. But in many cultures, especially Asian cultures, insects including cockroaches are commonly included in the diet.

Here in Thailand, insects are served in many local dishes and are usually fried in vegetable oil prior to eating. It has high amount of protein inside its bodies, providing a health source for human.

Some of the Thailand snacks with insects:

And this what you've been waiting for: the fried roaches.

( I hope you did not just chuck/ vomit in front of your precious gadget!)

Knowing that it is edible, we are even more sure of our idea of baking it. Although it might be not so practical and easy to do, it is a unique& different new way of killing it.

And no waste will be thrown away, since we can eat it right away baked...

kinda true.
