Should I kill it?

No one is home at my house, and I usually tell my mom to kill roaches for me, but she isn't here.

I'm not sure if I should kill it or let it go.

What a little girl. Just do whatever you feel you should dude. Honestly if it was me it depends on where the roach is. If it is on my bed or soemthing I would graba ll the bed sheets throw them outside and burn them. If just on the wall or floor I would kill it with a shoe or something.

Ok, kill it. I swear to god those thing can sense your evil intentions, and eventually they all will stop if you just look at them. Cockroaches are very smart.

Normally my dog would just kill it and take it outside. In your case clean up the mess you made with paper towels or something, then flush it.

Just a little FYI, They say that for every roach you see there are about 1000 more in your house (or is it a 100 more...I forget) Basically, there is hardly ever just one single roach Sleep tight :P

Anti-bacterial spray? Should we keep that wrapped up in bubble wrap in a child-proof cupboard too?

When there are roaches in my house I play roach hockey :P

I get the broom, open the door to our backyard, and then send it flying.

Female roaches are loaded with eggs that are almost microscopic. So if you don't know what kind of roach it is nor how to kill them I'd try to lead it into a jar if I were you. Being that a female roaches eggs will scatter if smash it, then you'll have dozens of roaches in a few days. If you can lead it into a container and seal you could later fill it with some roach ratedpestacide. Second option would be to torch it, but that could be a fire hazard if you can't use a torch without lighting everything else on fire.

Where there is one roach there maybe be more.

It's to late for not smashing it, but I think my dad would have gotten mad at me for just capturing it.

Just wipe it up with anything, you'll be fine unless you have a habit of licking the floor. Even then you probably wont get sick from it. The human mouth is far filthier than the intestines of a cockroach.

Capture it and drop it in an ant bed. Torture is the only way to go when dealing with bugs.
