This Arctic Spray Freezes Cockroaches For Easy Disposal

If the thought of smooshing, crushing, smashing, squishing, or even touching a cockroach grosses you out, a Japanese company called Fumakilla has come up with a better way to dispose of them. Taking inspiration from Vader's Lando's carbonite chamber, this aerosol can literally freezes them in their tracks.

As durable as they are, unlike Han Solo the roaches probably aren't going to survive getting hit with a blast of gas that's somewhere around minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The freeze ray in a can is apparently odorless, doesn't leave stains, and is less flammable/safer for humans to inhale than a bug spray—with the emphasis being on the safer since it's not necessarily completely safe, particularly if you accidentally blast bare skin. So using this as an emergency air conditioner or an easy way to chill your coffee is probably a terrible, terrible idea. [Fumakilla via RocketNews 24]

Unless this is cheaper than a can of compressed air, it's not a good deal. Just buy some compressed air from an electronics store, turn that sucker upside down and spray to your heart's content. I did this to a big ass bumble bee once, saw his wings slowly flutter until they were frozen....kind of like watching the T1000 in Terminator 2 when he got hit by liquid nitrogen...so bad ass!
