Oooh! Oooh! [raising hand]

BENZENE!!!!!!!!!!!

Get a squirt bottle and fill it with benzene (check printer supply
stores for cheap).

We used it to kill flying "king-kong" roaches. It's wonderful!!! The
instant it hits a bug, it totally evaporates any moisture from their
system, rendering them dead in the blink of an eye, without the
"crunch" of sledge hammer or fly swatter.

OH THE GOOD OL' DAYS!
