Boy did they give me the heeby jeebies. I almost fell off the couch when I threw up my legs to avoid them. They looked like small nightmare monsters, and as I yelled they disappeared like ghosts. It's was like having the boogie man come out of nowhere and then poof, he's gone. So there I was yelling about being attacked by roaches when out comes my grandfather without even a can of Soldier.
Soldier is a popular brand of roach spray in Egypt.
It obliterates roaches and nearly incapacitates humans. Definitely, only for use as directed. Out comes a roach and my grandfather mashes the critter with his bare foot. Meanwhile I'm running around trying to find a place to sit that hasn't been honored by the presence of a roach. That night I did not get any sleep at all.
