Then again, seeing only one, once in a while, is tolerable. I have been housed in several different places, over the years, that were infested with roaches and even bottles of Boric acid did nothing to stop them from sharing my space. Major ick.<BR/><BR/>Mosquitos are pretty icky too, BCF, esp when they love you.. which they do me. didn't think you got roaches up in those parts. I remember other ick things in Mpls.. like those millepedes... yuck.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-27491374500433976422007-03-28T14:48:00.000-04:002007-03-28T14:48:00.000-04:00We get roaches, no question, not the big hissing k...We get roaches, no question, not the big hissing kind though - we also have to contend with Mosquito's and west nile virus now.Blazingcatfurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260488914265052543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-85776117700896436852007-03-28T11:15:00.000-04:002007-03-28T11:15:00.000-04:00Ahhhhh...

I don't envy you at all.<BR/><BR/>And that's interesting, BCF. About the composting. Guess Canada is pretty green, eh? Had no idea. Do you get roaches in Canada. Don't remember them being much of a problem when I lived in Minnesota.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-19008397378654964332007-03-27T20:05:00.000-04:002007-03-27T20:05:00.000-04:00Yikes, I hate roaches, more than rats even.

Racoons are a huge problem in our city, and Deer of all things have made a comeback and are now found within city limits, out west (Vancouver) Coyotes have now adapted to city living. The worst pest now is the exploding rat population - the city instituted mandatory composting for households - very bad idea.Blazingcatfurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260488914265052543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-78983286055510749022007-03-27T17:29:00.000-04:002007-03-27T17:29:00.000-04:00Yes, real world battle with a favorable body count...Yes, real world battle with a favorable body count. I hate roaches but not as much as rats. We live at the edge of a forest and each spring they come in looking for food. In the fall they look for a winter home.I keep a supply of roach traps strategically places around the house. Fun post. MUDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
