Who came here cause you suddenly got curious while spraying insecticide to roaches?

That exoskeleton won't protect him against my shoe

Who came here after spraying some roaches.

So it doesn't really "kill" the bug, but it paralyzes them slowly until starvation kills them. Genius!

[akhatr]

this video is proof that you can literally search any random thought you have and find an explanation for it

[antoniovargasr]

wait, so they are alive when we throw them through the WC or the garbage? they are just paralized? :O

[lovellasofiagadia]

When I spray on cockroaches I actually pity them...but I cant have them crawling all over me while I am sleeping

I saw a cockroach on the wall of my bathroom. I sprayed him, he fell down, ran stray for few seconds and then turned upside down on his shell. I watched him carefully. He tried hard to stretch his legs but failed. Felt kinda bad for him and all his sufferings. And that brought me to this video to understand that pain of him.

It is nice that this chemical give them easy death.

2:29 “and as for poor Joey... He will be missed”
*no*

[undeadnightorc]

Wait, so it only paralyzes them? The label on my can of raid says "kills on contact". I always assumed death was instantaneous.

Very interesting. Sprayed insecticide on a cockroach in my garage last week. It stopped moving almost instantly. 24 hours later he was in the same spot but his antennae were still moving.

[anthyavila]

I first saw this video a few weeks ago and it was news to me that they were just paralyzed, thereafter, after spraying roaches, instead of just sweeping them into the trash bin, I take them outside and step on them until I hear a crunch. I was kinda furious at the thought that I possibly let some of them live before. Well, that would Never. Happen. Again.

[ohhhkayden]

Youtube really does have everything i wonder about randomly 😆

[cedim]

This may be true in certain situations... But it's not true of raid that I'm using. They die outright as soon as they are sprayed and it look painful and or agonizing... It's quite rewarding to see them suffer after being grossed out by their presence in my abode... I live in a duplex and I didn't have roaches until a certain new neibor came along.

[filiplaskovski]

I gotta say this was very to the point and informative no bullshit!! Well explained sir !!
👍🏼

After watching this I still have no Idea how it works, but as long the spray works I’m happy!

[andrewstrongman]

This doesn't quite match my observations. When hit with insecticides, flies and cockroaches try to clean themselves, then move erratically until they end up on their backs with legs kicking spastically. When they stop moving, they are dead. In hot, dry conditions the body dries out within hours. Paralysis and starvation are not factors.

[anubhavgautam]

Man it’s 1:30 in the morning and I just woke up with scurrying noises. Feels like I’m in the World War III with roaches and a can of spray.

[fuckoff]

So when you see them without any movement they're actually alive but paralyzed. That's creepy.
