Raoches and Such ** To Those Who've Recently Moved/Are Moving ..

[Guest guest]

Yo Neysa, Chris and other good folks ..

 

Also .. I'll send y'all some info on a Roach Repellent .. won't kill'em but will

repell'em. During the research on Catnip Oil (Nepeta cataria) .. which y'all

will

recall repelled skeeters 10 X more effective than did Deet .. they also

discovered

it was even more effective at repelling cucarachas .. ;-p

 

Course .. odds are around 99% that if you move into a new home where the

previous

occupants lived a lifestyle that allowed roaches to thrive .. or maybe just

didn't

bother to kick butt on the first couple that came to visit and allowed them to

bring'

in all their buddies too .. once you get it cleaned up and their butts kicked,

you'll

not see them again for a while.

 

My office is in an apartment building .. most small companies in Turkey occupy

buildings that also have family dwellings. Had a family (not Turkish or

American)

in the apartment beside my office .. danged cucarachas started showing up.

Pretty

soon the land lord evicted them cause they had less than acceptable standards of

hygiene. But the point is .. I made an exception to my normally strong dislike

for

commercial chemical products .. I went with the strongest roach killer they

sold

in Turkey .. forget the name but it was something like Black Flag, etc. For

8-10

days we were finding dead ones creeping outta places one wouldn't think an ant

could

get into .. but since then we've not had any. Oh yea .. its not just an office

...

my maid cooks a full noon meal each day so we do have food in the area.

 

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com
