Doctor's Advise: A follow up of The Shampoo Test

Due to the overwhelming response, I decided to chat up with the good doctor and clarify a few concerns regarding the test.

Question 1: Where can I go looking for roaches?
Doc sez: Attic, basement, washrooms, pipelines, drainage, dustbins

Question 2: DO I have to strictly conduct the shampoo test on roaches or will any other pest do?
Doc sez: Preferably roaches since I have worked them in the past. But if you have no other alternative, then you can try out the test on other pests.

Question 3: How do I take the pulse of the roach in order to verify its death?
Doc sez: Keep the insect still, preferably overturned.Take a stethoscope and take the pulse. Good luck.

hullo AquaM,
Please get my doubt clarified from the doc. I want to know the dose of shampoo that has to be used on a roach.
Looking forward to a speedy response.
Thanks and Regards,
Rita

From the Doc to Soumyadip:

YOu can either borrow the stethoscope from a doctor friend or from a family doctor.

Yup, bosses totally qualify.

To Rita: She will let u know shortly. But my guess is that when the pest stops moving, it is a sign that the chemical has worked and you can stop.

Hi Naveeen,
The SPCI is funding this experiment:))
