Cockroaches are among the most disgusting living things in creation. Just by saying the word "cockroach" I get a chill down my spine. The first thing that you must do, when you see an individual of these nasty creatures, is to make sure that it never sees the light of day again. By all means necessary try to squish it with whatever you have at hand. If you don't have any useful tools around (like a slipper or a shoe) don't be afraid to use your bare feet or hands. I know that it is extremely gross but victims have to be made in the war against these pests. It is too bad if you had to squish it while it was standing on your carpet. Now you have to deal with cockroach guts splattered all over your lovely floor rug. In order to clean up the whole mess, I've come up with a few simple tips to help you out.
The first thing that you must do is, well, step over the wretched thing one more time! Did you know that a cockroach can live for another month even with its head severed? And the reason of death after that whole month will be starvation because its mouth is located on its head (obviously). There was this one time, when I squished a roach and I left the body there because I was too lazy to dispose of it. But I had squeezed most of its intestines out; there was no way that this devil-spawn could be alive. On the other day, the body was gone and I assumed that some other member of my family had thrown it away. Apparently, I was wrong… dead wrong. Probably a month later, I saw a cockroach crawling around the hallway and its body was half squished. So yes, when you're smashing a cockroach try to make sure that it is dead for good.
And now it's time to begin the carpet cleaning procedure. First, you'll have to throw out the body. Use a paper towel, grab the dead roach and throw it in the garbage bin. Use another paper towel to scoop its slimy guts from the carpet. Don't allow them to air dry on the carpet because they'll only attract some protein dissolving bacteria. London carpet cleaning [http://www.carpetcleaning.org.uk/] recommends that you use some cleaning products to sanitise the stain. There is no reason for you to go to the local convenience store and buy a commercial carpet cleaning product. You can prepare a home-made carpet cleaning solution that is cheap and effective as well. Just mix some dish-washing soap and water and there you have it. Apply the mixture directly on the stain and start scrubbing with a sponge or a clean cotton cloth. When you're done, rinse the surface with clean water. Afterwards, blot the treated spot with some paper towels and you're done.
If you find more and more roaches roaming around your house I'd recommend for you to buy some poison and apply it around your household. Make sure to read the instructions carefully so that there won't be any accidents. If this doesn't help, call some professional pest exterminators.
