Well, there sure are plenty here in Chicago! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kathy Gittel Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 12:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: OT cat-safe roach control
I'm from Rochester NY and in my opinion, it's just too danged cold for the roaches here. They seem to prefer and thrive in warmer climes. I'm told that they enjoy heat sooooooo much that if nuclear blasts kill most other forms of life on earth...the roaches will survive. eeeeeeeeeeeuuu Kathy and Deirdre From: TenHouseCats <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: OT cat-safe roach control i'd never seen roaches--they seem to avoid buffalo, for some reason!--but had a HORRID infestation in one of the houses we lived in here in mid-michigan..... we were afraid they were gonna carry off one of the cats, they were so big and there were so many of them.... we got ALL new boxes when we moved, and lived in terror for a few months in the new place afraid they're packed themselves in our stuff, but they hadn't.... i'm glad i'd heard about the glue problem re: boxes in time, because we had lots and lots of great storage boxes we'd kept--losing them was worth it to be roach-free! something else you can do to help keep the population down is to put steel wool around all the pipes and other plumbing openings under sinks--actually, this works REALLY well for mice, not so well for roaches just because they can get through the smallest gaps. but if you pack it in REALLY well.... i think cockroaches just sit back and laugh at us, knowing that they were here millions of years before us, and will outlast us by at least that long.... (if you get a chance, tho, and the movie "joe's apartment" comes on, it's worth watching--single guy who gets romantic and other advice from all the roaches he shares his space with.... VERY funny) -- MaryChristine This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
