oh you can find plenty of both on the 3rd floor so dont count your blessings just yet.

And you dont have to worry a smuch about keeping your place clean its your neighbors too. One filthy place will attract the vermin and they go exploring.

Oh holy fuck.

I totally hate you right now. I pulled a muscle in my abs during my workout this morning, and reading that made me too, and it kinda hurt.

I've had them come back to life even after being stomped/sprayed/what-have-you.. so yeah, after they quit moving (or play possum), I scoop them up into a dust pan and toss them into the toilet. They can't be sneaky that way.

Guess you guys dont want to hear a common overnight procedure in the ER. I have removed close to 50 roaches from peoples ears over the last 6 yrs
