An Alternative To Extermination

Anyone out there have a cockroach problem?
Has it gotten out of hand despite your attempts at extermination?
Well I have for you the perfect solution.
I have discovered an alternative to extermination.
Despite any cockroach infestation
I've never had it in me to kill them
which forced me to find an alternate solution.
My method has never failed me. Wanna know my solution?
I don't exterminate the cockroaches. What I do is feed them.
I've an empty 15 gallon fish tank and before I go to bed
I sprinkle crumbs or whatever food on the tank's floor where the cockroaches are fed.
When I awake in the morning the tank is cockroach filled.
I then secure a top to the tank and release them all in a vacant lot land refill.
After 1 week of doing this I give you my personal guarantee.
Your home will become 100% cockroach free,
until new uninvited guests arrive from a new moved in family.

Chris, I don't have it in me to kill them not so much because I have an overwhelming respect for all forms of life and their individual rights to that one and only life, but rather I'm lonely and enjoy their company. When I'm expecting people company is when I give my uninvited yet welcomed guests the old heave hoe. Of course my people guests have to give me 1 or 2 weeks notice, otherwise they may find themselves, as well as their belongings as transports for uninvited guests of their own.
