Living on edge.....

Post by slinky » 17th Jun, '11, 12:51

I think you all know how I feel about cockroaches [smilie=barfluous.gif] So, after seeing 2 in the past week, I've had to make the call and get pest control out here. Mr. S saw the cat 'playing' with one "the size of Montana" last night and I was greeted by one in the bathroom last week (that guy got soaked in bug spray beyond belief -- I think I wasted the whole bottle on that bastard :lol: ) Anyhow, bug guy is about to spray their habitat in the manhole out in the front yard and has told me 'not to panic' as they may come inside (if they make it past the new drain thingies he just installed). Don't panic? Yeah, right :o FFS.

Do we have a dancing banana that's passing out?

Slinky, do you have any of that bug spray left? I need to spray it in my eyes now. Kthxbai.

:shock: Ooh Morro that was mean,
but then I suppose it is only lifesize (on a 17" screen that is) for Singapore anyway isn't it?

Whatever you do Slinky don't move to Texas. Those big bastards are everywhere.
I guess we're not in Kansas anymore.

Not quite as in your face, but just as unsettling?

Don't see them often at my place here, maybe 1-3/year. When I do see them - they get splatted. Area sprayed with Windex and wiped clean. Case closed, no poison / chemical warfare needed in the house.
