to remind everyone again, these disgusting little critters can live on almost anything--so it really ISN'T an issue of cleanliness or lack thereof..... once they're in, they're just very hard to evict. the way to approach the neighbors is to give them the facts about boxes and bags and glue and soap--or they are likely to think you're judging their housekeeping--being a poor housekeeper may make the situation worse, for sure, but as anyone who's ever had roaches will tell you, a spotless house is NO deterrent! (hmmmmm--since they LIKE soap, does GOOD housekeeping make the place a better diner?)
caulking sounds like a great idea, too--but i'm not sure that any human can ever actually find all the miniscule places they can use to travel around a building..... now, does anyone have any good suggestions for asian lady beetles and box-elder bugs??????? -- MaryChristine AIM / YAHOO: TenHouseCats MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 289856892
