How do you catch a cockroach in Animal Crossing?
You don't really "catch" cockroaches in Animal Crossing, you exterminate them. If your house gets infested because you've been away too long, just sprint across them. It's oddly satisfying!

Nah, you can't catch 'em like fish or bugs. Just run over them and they'll *poof* disappear. It's more about pest control than catching.
Catching a cockroach in Animal Crossing isn't like catching other critters! You don't use a net but instead, you squash them by walking over them. It sounds a bit brutal, but it's the only way. They usually appear in your house if you haven't played the game for a while, so keep an eye (and foot) out!
Sorry to burst the bubble, but you can't add cockroaches to your collection. They're not like the butterflies or fish. You squish them. It's a bit of a letdown if you're aiming for a 'pacifist run.'
