If you assume a cockroach or any insect is in your ear, do not try to get rid of it with cotton swabs, tweezers, or your fingers. This can move it deeper or destr0y your eardrum. Instead, follow these steps:

  • Stay calm – Panicking may make the situation worse.
  • Tilt your head – Turn the affected ear toward the ceiling and try to coax the insect out using gravity.
  • Pour warm (not hot) mineral oil, baby oil, or olive oil into the ear – This can suffocate and immobilize the insect, making it easier to remove.
  • Seek medical help immediately – A doctor can safely get rid of the cockroach using special tools and check for any damage or infection.
