Cockroach removal service

A 24-hours service that will save clients (such as single ladies) the troble of getting rid of cockroaches that appeared in their apartments

Even in apartments that had been treated against cockroaches, these unwanted guests still appear. If you spray them, you a flailing body in your bathroom or wherever for a few hours, and you have to get rid of it somehow. Such an experience can ruin your whole evening, especially if you're a single lady with sensitive nerves. My suggestion is to have a 24-hours service that will appear within 20 minutes, be given the location ("under the sink") and remove the nuisance from your life. If possible - even this evening, before I have to do it myself.

       "911, What's your emergency?"   

       "There's this.... this creepy thing.... it's like a monster..... living underneath my sink..."   

       "Calm down, ma'am. Is there a newspaper handy?"   

       "Uh, no."   

       "Do you own a lizard?"   

       "Are you kidding? I can hardly stand bugs, do you think I'd want a lizard? Please send someone... it's got so many legs... EWWW! It's crawling towards me!!!"   

       "Okay, we'll send someone right over."   

       "Unit 47, we have a 712 in progress at 12345 Baker Street."   

       "This is Unit 47, responding." "Got another roach call, Bob. Get the lizard."
