Cockroach Warning: Why do scientists consider killing cockroaches with slippers extremely dangerous? Does wearing slippers increase the number of cockroaches in the house instead of decreasing it? What is the right way to eliminate cockroaches instead of picking up slippers?
Cockroach Killing Dangers With Slippers: Nowadays, there is a lot of discussion about Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) from social media to Jantar Mantar in Delhi and across the country. Amidst the ongoing protests demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, a statement by the founder of this unique party, Abhijeet Deepke, went viral on the internet. He said, ‘Cockroaches never die.’ Joking aside, science also accepts this as true. Cockroaches came to this earth even before dinosaurs. Even if their head is cut off, they can remain alive for weeks, female cockroaches can give birth to children even without a male partner and they are not easily affected by a nuclear attack. But when this powerful creature appears near our kitchen or wash basin, we immediately remove the slippers from our feet and attack it. If you also do this, then be careful. Scientists believe that crushing cockroaches with slippers can become a big threat to the health of your entire family. Let us understand what are the 2 major disadvantages of killing cockroaches with slippers…
Disadvantage 1: ‘Virus of disease’ spreads in the air of the house
Cockroach is not a simple insect. It crawls through sewers, dirty drains and garbage heaps and reaches your food. There are millions of dangerous bacteria on its stomach and body. Although the external body of the cockroach is very strong, but when you hit it with full force, its internal organs burst in an instant. All his dirty blood and stomach germs get spread on the floor. According to scientists, the fine elements released from the body of crushed cockroach get mixed in the air. When people at home, especially small children or elderly people, breathe this air, their risk of developing asthma, severe allergies and respiratory diseases increases manifold.
Loss 2: One will die, but will leave behind an army of 40 new children.
Why cockroach is called the most stubborn creature in the world, you can guess from the way it produces children. The female cockroach protects its eggs in a very tight bag called an ‘ootheca’. This capsule is so strong that it is not affected by even the harshest poisons available in the market. There are 16 to 40 eggs inside one bag. When you throw a slipper on a female cockroach, the cockroach dies, but the hard bag of eggs present in its stomach does not break. Due to the impact of the slippers, the bag gets scattered and goes to some corner of the house or under the cupboard, where even the broom cannot reach. After a few days, instead of that one dead cockroach, 30-40 new small cockroaches are seen crawling in your kitchen.
3 safe and easy ways to kill cockroaches instead of slippers
proper use of spray
Sprays like Red Hit available in the market directly attack the nervous system of cockroaches. This stretches the muscles, jolts them, and lands them face down on the floor without making a mess. After this, you can collect them with a broom and throw them directly in the dustbin.
Special Gel Formula
Nowadays cockroach exterminators come to secret jails. Small drops of these are applied in the corners of the kitchen. Cockroaches eat it and die in their nest. The biggest utility is that the other cockroaches that eat this dead cockroach are also automatically cleansed of its poison.
home remedy
If you want to avoid chemicals, mix equal amounts of baking soda and powdered sugar and apply it in the corners. Due to the sweetness of sugar, cockroaches will eat it and baking soda will spoil their stomach system and kill them.
