Hi, my name is Joe, and I work in a button factory. Not!

I was preparing supper last night when Gregor -- or perhaps it was archy -- came out from under the refrigerator. I have enough insect-cunning in me that I waited until he was clear of the refrigerator before bringing my well-shod foot down in a decisive stamp.

I've struck a blow against literature everywhere.

I know they like places to hide. Unfortunately, I have too many places like that. I'll be working on that. And probably obtaining and deploying some boric acid, as that seems to be the #1 safest substance short of diatomaceous earth, given that when I read up on it, it was explained as working physically rather than biochemically.

I heard that if you squash a girl roach that the eggs will get stuck on your shoes and get tracked everywhere you walk. *.* Roaches are bizarre!

I hadn't heard that, but immediately after the squish, I took off the shoe, looked at the mark on it, and took some 409 to it. So the chances are far lower.

Had to look at the smear it left :P Yeah... I would have done the same.

That, and I did not want roach guts anywhere else on my floor.

Eichling swears by boric acid

[azurelunatic]

That is good to hear.

Gross. Roaches are one of the few things to really creep me out.

I can deal with them on the floor. But anywhere else, I am Not Happy.
