Student offers £10 to anyone who'll kill ‘abnormally large’ cockroach in his kitchen

A business student sent out a desperate plea for help in getting rid of a huge cockroach after spotting it in his kitchen.

Bhargav Chavda arrived home at 10pm after a busy day on Monday, and popped to the kitchen for some food.

It was then the 24-year-old saw the "abnormally large" cockroach scuttling around his home in Brisbane Australia, and panicked.

He quickly took to gumtree and placed an advert asking for help.

It read: Need Roach dead right now, ASAP and gave his address.

It also said: "Will pay $20 for the task. Location somewhere in the open in living room/kitchen. Bring spray etc if needed, I only have thongs, cloth, broom.

"Please respond asap, hungry af."

He did get people responding, but they weren't offering to help catch the cockroach, but were laughing at his post.

Mr Chavda told Daily Mail Australia: "Unfortunately I don’t know what is wrong with the world.

"People are responding "this is funny" or "you just made my day"."

He added that the insect is still on the loose as he ended up going to bed without it catching it.
