I had a rude awakening yesterday......there are way too many cockroaches in Malta for my liking!! I spent a lot of time here last summer and didn't see one but apparently I was lucky and last night I had my first unwelcome visitor. Just about to go to bed when the little critter made himself known, urgh they are disgusting!! After much pathetic girlie screaming and half a can of insect killer, we decided we couldn't sleep under the same roof as him so we went out to get pissed and leave him to end his revolting little life!! This was at about 1 in the morning, I was trying to be sensible and have a night in, but he left me with little choice.... yeah, lamest excuse ever but it was pretty entertaining and I am quietly confident that his head is worse than mine this morning!
What do I now know about cockroaches...
In my googling frenzy "how to kill a cockroach from a distance", I discovered some disturbing facts, which aided the decision to go out and leave him to his dirty little ways....

Supposedly a nuclear blast would not kill them (but I can confirm that half a can of Pif Paf does!)They can live a week without a head.
The females can reproduce without a male and when you kill them they can rapidly multiply.
They are among the biggest contributors to global warming as they fart every 15 mins!
All in all, they are disgusting and horrid little critters and I shall not be living in harmony with them. Off to buy more Pif Paf.....!!
