@Catawu, my friend, you always have some good leads. I need a palmetto bug (aka big-ass cockroach) trap that actually works. Ever heard of one? The retail stuff I’ve tried is utter crap. I swear, I think the roaches just point at them and giggle to themselves.

@shoq Palmetto bugs are notorious for laughing at traps, and walking off with them.

@Catawu @shoq At college, they were so pervasive and Large, they'd just ride the elevators. They ask you hit the button for the 7th floor. The others they were able to reach.

@shoq Don’t know about traps for them. What we used to kill and discourage roaches and their ilk was Boric Acid crystals. We put them in the tight spots (behind fridge, under sink, under stove, etc. I cleared roaches out of a house on the rez that had been infested for years. Took 5 days. See if that works for you.

@Catawu just bought some of those BA pills. Haven’t put them out yet. The cat is a concern. Glad to hear they work.

@shoq BA works better than ANY other trap or poison I know of.

@shoq I’d crush them up into a powder otherwise the cat might think they’re swat toys.

@shoq Once you know how they work, you almost feel bad: They attach to the antennae and shells and itch them to death.

@Catawu I do hate that part about all pest killers. I’m less upset about exterminating them as I am about torturing them when I do. All Creatures must feel some kind of pain. I’ve been known to swat a moth, then chase it down to be sure it’s dead.

@shoq Yeah, I feel the same way. But when it comes to my house/home it’s them or me. I do it, but I do feel bad for it.

@shoq Did you ever wonder if:

A bug flies into a bug light because bugs go to the light.. ZAP! Died and fried.

Now, no longer in this mortal world, it becomes aware that something has changed and it sees another light… and it says: “Oh no you don’t!”
