C o c k r o a c h Derby to be held in Singapore on Aug 10
SINGAPORE : It is a competition that is a cross between Fear Factor and Amazing Race.
But in this one, the stars are no longer than a thumb, and they will be crawling their way to success.
Many people view these creatures as squirming creepy-crawlies.
But the organisers of Pest Summit want to make them racers and are organising a C o c k r o a c h Derby, with a specially-built race track which they have been testing.
100 adult American c o c k r o a c h e s will be taking part in the event on August 10.
John Ho, Managing Director, Aardwolf Pestkare, said, "Around the world, there are easily 1,200 species. The most common species in Singapore, especially in households, is the American c o c k r o a c h."
There will be 10 races with 10 participants, with each winner then competing in the final for a S$1,000 prize money.
But what happens if they escape?
Mr Ho said, "Once they get off the track, we have assured the hotel they will not disappear from the room. We will surround the area with sticky traps so the c o c k r o a c h e s will be caught."
So, if you do not have a pet c o c k r o a c h, looks like it is time to start finding one, for what organisers hope will be a fun race.
If you are not good at catching c o c k r o a c h e s, you do not have to worry - the organisers will sell them for S$10 apiece.
And if you are not sure how to look after them, there are tips for raising thoroughbreds.
The ideal age is between 1 and 2 months.
Size apparently does not matter when it comes to performance.
Dog biscuits make good c o c k r o a c h food - water is good too.
Organisers remain tight-lipped on the fate of the c o c k r o a c h e s after the race. - CNA/ms -

American cockroach, talk about FTs stealing the jobs of our local pests.
Looks like humans are not the only one fighting with FT for jobs. -
How to train cockroaches for race ??? Simple you don't even have to train them , you just have to dip theuir backside into kerosene or whatever highly inflamable and light it when its time for them to run . Lo n behold , your roaches can't wait to fly to the air not to mention run . Lol ! you just have to get ready a trash can and some water to put the fire out . Do it at your own risk though
