This morning on From Our own Correspondent Will Grant told us about the cockroaches in his Venezuelan home – he did not think that living in a roach infested apartment was something a BBC correspondent had to do, but the infestation is a result of the drought. Earlier he had told us all about the difficulties caused by the regular interruptions to the domestic water supply to his block.
But, ever resourceful, our correspondent has identified a powerful Blattaricide which dispatches the critters – I wouldn’t like to think of spraying something like that around my kitchen, but needs must, I suppose.
And what does he do then?
Why, he flushes the bodies down the loo.
Won’t that just make water even shorter & bring ever more cockroaches into his home?
