I was given Wife's Seventh's (or was it sixth or eight?) blender about 2 weeks ago to um, remove some dead cockroaches hiding in side there. Hoo. Ray.
As I was rushing to complete Border Models's Tesla Trooper in time for the Malcom 2025, I could not do the task. Knowing that this is a 'must', I cannot delay this unless I wish to experience the Matriarchal Hand of Doom.
Anyway, what I thought was a two hour job was done in just 15 minutes... yay, me. Almost wanted to spray the thing with Ridsect but my experience as an ex-engineer cum husband tells me that is really pushing my luck.

| With the screwdriver and a can of Ridsect, I am, being as reasonably sane as it is, ready. Since the newspapers I requested was not forthcoming, I had to use mine, which was mostly covered in airbrush paints and wooden stirrers with paints stuck to it. |

| The Blender thing was surprisingly easy to disassemble since it was only held with... 2 screws. I have no explanation for why there is a 2.5 inch by 1 inch hole (red) apart from it being an open invitation to these buggers. It is not for ventilation as there are other smaller holes. |
 | |
| In the end, there are about 6 of them ( found the other half of its abdomen), all truly not alive and I'm sure, crunchy as heck. |
 |
| I ma not sure as to how they met their demise since the motor looks kinda clean while the bodies are intact. I have a very silly theory that they could be electrocuted but then again, it is very highly unlikely. |
