5 cockroaches in 3 days

Wednesday afternoon, I saw a small cockroach on the fridge's leg. Sprayed with insecticide while it try to escape under the frigde. I don't know where it went and I don't wish to dig it out. I'm disgusted by the looks of it and scare that it would come anywhere near me. Sound silly right? I'm so many times bigger than it and yet I'm afraid of it. What to do?

Yesterday night, while my mum is hanging the clothes, she caught 1 cockroach in the kitchen sink. I thought she dropped something but when I see that her arm is still in the sink for a much longer time needed to grab what she dropped, my first reaction was to slowly move back and out to the living room in case she caught a cockroach. When my mum turned back and saw that I had moved miles away, she laughed at me.

Yesterday night after my parents had gone to bed. I was still in my study room trying my PC and noting some information. As I felt tired and decided to turn in, I saw another cockroach crawling on the floor right in front of me. It was blocking my path to get the insecticide from the kitchen so my reaction now was to empty my rubbish bin and cover it over the cockroach. As there is a plastic bag in the rubbish bin, I could not spray it was insecticide. All I can do was to drag the rubbish bin to the living room and left it there overnight while I leave a note for my mum to help me get rid of it.

Just now when I was going to the kitchen, saw another cockroach lying on it's back. I thought it was dead but when it started to move, I jumped. Damn. My mum was not home. Only my cousins' new maid and my youngest cousin, Wilson, are home with me. I decide to use my rubbish bin again but I decided to ask the maid if she is afraid of the cockroach. She wasn't. Yeah!! She helped me get rid of the cockroach. She said just now after she did the cooking, she saw 1 also and she threw it away.

So in just 3 days, there had been 5 cockroaches visiting my house!!! I hate cockroaches. And when 1 appear, more will start to appear soon too. What's with the home visit from the cockroaches? So yucky!!! *Shivers*
