Thank you for the reminder MaryChristine...I've started scrubbing anyway...figured it can't hurt..., and I've begun throwing out empty boxes...but now, I'm wondering, does anyone know how effective ELECTRONIC roach/insect repellents are such as those made by Pest Repeller Ultimate???..The testimonials sound great (of course)...(I'm on red alert now for every movement..keep looking at the floor by the door....half-expecting to see one march in under the door. i know it sounds so wimpy of me, and there are far worse problems in life, but I really do have a total horror of them. I can live with just about any other insect I've come across....) Thanks again for any info. You guys are just great. Kerry

(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 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.
