better understand those bugs.

Living in a low-rise condo, it's impossible to keep them out. I had them under control with foggers until this last year when I got a strain that loved the fogger.

I control them now with an excellent "roach motel" made in Japan. It contains a bait they love, and I buy them at Wal Mart in packages of five for $2.50. I have them along the walls and in the cabinets and put two by the sink each night. They come there for water. They fill up fast. Replaced one from behind the toilet yesterday [been there three months] that had at least 50 in it. Love to open them up and watch them struggle in the glue when they see me. I have become so blase about them that if I spot one I can pick him up and squash him.

When I dance at Willys it's quite common to see them scurrying across the dance floor. The resturants can't keep them out. Just keep them down.

I didn't see anything in there about how to squash cockroaches. That's the only thing I want to know. I don't need to know how to sex them.

Sex cockroaches??????? Only a space away from a real doozy.
