Therefore, just like it's wrong to go crazy with antibiotics for bacteria so it for cockroaches. Spending some time to investigate and think about the roaches may be the best thing. So far you may be on panic mode.
So philosophy can help with roaches. First thought must be applied on all the four levels. That is, exploratory, then analytic, then argumentative and finally empirical thought. This may lead to an effective fumigation and pest control policy.
For example, why haven't past attempts not worked? What pesticide was used? How was it used? You may be surprised that things aren't what they appear to be, in your thinking...
The cockroach pholosophy, wah! So Rollins should first hold a disputation with the pests?
And here I have been discussing with the aid of a pair of slippers, when the poison fails. Clearly I was doing it all wrong, thanks Tycho.
Rollins please let us know how your cockroach Kamukuji goes. We might learn something.
