2007-11-20 Bad Start

Yesterday we moved more than 40 cardboard boxes into the new flat. We ate some take-away pizza on the floor of our bedroom to-be. We saw four cockroaches.

Get a cat. I haven’t seen a cockroach or rat since Maelle came back. On the downside, I haven’t seen a lizard either.

Hm, cats eat cockroaches? That might be a good idea. I wonder how big the cockroach population is if you see four of them scrambling around at noon there must thousands out there at night...

eh, cat didn’t work for me...on the contrary the coakroaches seem to like pet’s food....

The only things I’ve seen working is proper professional extermination applied to the whole building inside and outsied the flats

YMMV, I suppose, but a stray kitten works best. They don’t eat cockroaches as such, if they do they usually throw it up later, but they play with and generally torture the cockroach population into a decline.

We went to the new flat again yesterday evening. One cockroach in the kitchen got away, another in the bath tub disappeared down the drain, and two others in the bathroom got killed. Apparently we have two kinds of cockroaches: The German cockroach (I like it how Wikipedia says: “Conservation status: Secure”) and the brown-banded cockroach.

☠ ☠ ☠ ☠ ☠ 😠 **!!!!**

Our furniture will get moved on Monday. We’ll be sleeping in cockroach heaven soon... If the poisoned food the Ratex guy spread all over the flat is not getting rid of them within a few days, I think I’ll start looking for a new appartment. It’s nice, it’s big, it has a pizza take-away just accross the road, but :note: :note: “you are not aloooone...” :note:

sucks:

Man... just think. Anytime you shower or sit on the toilet there will be little pairs of eyes watching you and giggling amongst themselves.

When we’re sitting around the table and gaming, don’t think that it’s me caressing your feet. Those are the cockroaches in search for food.
