As far as the "keeping your place clean"...very true. Put pesticide in one unit...they just run to the other units and then come back when the pesticide weakens.


Well isn't this just a warm and fuzzy thread ?
I only have to worry about roaches for a few more weeks.. then I have bigger fish to fry in the way of camel spiders and scorpions.

Yeah, that's just a little bit exaggerated. They get pretty big, and they have a nasty bite, but not 6 feet long big...
