Creepy critters
I think what Bostonwash is trying to get at is Geckos. We have them here. On one hand they are good because they eat all the other bugs, but then they poop all over. Luckily, we don't have any geckos in the house because our kitty makes short work of them. I do have a bunch of geckos out on the lanai were they poop all over my washer and dryer. If you look closely at gecko poop, you can see that it is nothing but a dried up, squished up roach. (Gee, hope no one is trying to have a snack at their computer)
My cat would be delighted if we had a mouse in here.
The thing I always used to use for apartment roaches was a mixture of flour, powdered sugar, corn meal and borax. I used this in an apartment I lived in once and never saw another one there.
Picked up a used dryer here recently and in the bottom was a dried out mouse carcass, where the mouse died by getting stuck in one of the holes in the dryer baseplate. It was like something from a horror movie!
Martha told me she killed a huge flying roach at her place and after she crushed it, the remains had a stench to it. Pooey!
Once, when we lived in Colorado (SW part of the state near four corners) I did janitorial work. A lady I knew rented this house out in the sticks and asked me to go clean it for her first. When I got there, found that every window on the 2nd floor of this old house had about a billion flys buzzing around. Took my vac, sucked em up. 10 minutes later, there would be another billion flies. Told the lady, she said "Oh, I guess I will have to plant some basil." Basil, hell! You need an exorcist honey!
