OK that's good news...I got no cockroaches, lizards or any other creatures I can see living on board...I must also have a spotlessly clean boat... but I still got some work to do, just lucky I guess

You can only eliminate cockroaches (temporarily) by turning your house into a toxic waste dump. Cats do a good job of keeping them in check, as do the three-inch lizards that also get into houses, businesses and occasionally boats. The basic rule: Do not leave crumbs anywhere. I've never had cockroaches on my boat. A spotlessly clean boat with dry bilges will keep them away and starve any who venture aboard. On a similar note, the only sure for mosquitoes in the cabin is to lock up the boat for a week. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Thomas Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2012 8:23 AM To: [email protected] ; [email protected] Subject: Re: Stus-List Thirty Thousand Cigars We don't have really big cockroaches in this part of the great white north. I was looking at a C&C 35 on the hard in Florida last December and discovered a big brown cockroach in one of the lockers. I was about as wide as a good Cuban cigar, and maybe half as long. Moved pretty quick too. The broker then nonchalantly said that he had thought that he had got them all with a bug bomb earlier that week. All in all I would think it must take some getting used to, having bugs like that around all the time.

I guess I need to pass out cigars, but 30,000 Cuban cigars will *really* deplete the cruising kitty. The babies are *so* cute. There's nothing like the pitter-patter of little feet.
