Hairspray also makes a great rocket fuel for a home-made potato mortar...

Re: lovely little fellas...
I opened wide the bath-room door,
And all at once switched on the light,
When moving swift across the floor
I saw a streak of ebon bright:
Then quick, with slipper in my hand,
Before it could escape,--I slammed.
I missed it once, I missed it twice,
I fear my words were far from nice,
Then lo! I thought that dying roach
Regarded me with some reproach.
Said I: "Don't think I grudge you breath;
I hate to spill your greenish gore,
But why did you invite your death
By straying on my bath-room floor?"
"It is because," said he ,
"Adventure is my destiny.
"By evolution I was planned,
And marvellously made as you;
And I am led to understand
The selfsame God conceived us two:
Sire, though the coup de grâce you give,
Even a roach has right to live."
Said I: "Of course you have a right,--
But not to blot my bath-room floor.
Yet though with slipper I may smite,
Your doom I morally deplore . . .
From cellar gloom to stellar space
Let bards and beetles have their place.

When I were a lad we didn't have Lynx.... Right Guard were me dad's favored brand. Me mum's hairspray worked a treat too - first their little legs get laquered and they can't move, then you torch 'em....

Just get yourself an iguana or similar lizard and your cockroaches will soon disappear.
