I live and let live with most insects and even a few pests, like raccoons—unless something actually scares me or can breed out of control, as is the case with cockroaches, which can cause an infestation so devastating that you have to actually get rid of everything in your home that you can’t scrub clean of their spawn and poop

So I NEVER suffer a cockroach to live. I pull them rabbit-ear antennas off and squish them roaches ‘till they pop.

But what is that snap, or pop they make when squooshed? Other insects don’t snap or pop when stepped on.
