Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Jack the Sailor Date: 18 Sep 12 - 05:42 PM " He's in Chicago, I'm in Orillia. " Is Chicago near your cerebral cortex? Because I'm pretty sure that Chongo is in your head and nowhere else. |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: GUEST,Tony Date: 18 Sep 12 - 05:30 PM Freeze them! Brilliant. I'll get started on that. Thanks, Monique and Hawk. They seem able to get into containers that wouldn't leak water if turned upside down. Is there any such thing as a moth-proof container? |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Louie Roy Date: 18 Sep 12 - 04:09 PM A correction I wrote 4lbs 4lbs and4lbs equal amounts. On each plate you should have 4OZ 4OZ 4OZ. My Hay and Lambing barn that I treated was 125 feet long and 40 feet wide with a concrete floor and the cockroaches were under the concrete that's the reason I mixed up such a large batch |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Sep 12 - 01:22 PM Yes, that would do it. By the way, it's Chongo who had the roach infestation, folks, but there are no roaches at my place. He's in Chicago, I'm in Orillia. |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Monique Date: 18 Sep 12 - 01:15 PM Moths: let every bag of flour, rice, raisins etc. (a lot of "etc.") sit in the freezer for some days or more if you have enough room in it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Louie Roy Date: 18 Sep 12 - 01:02 PM Chongo if you are talking about Cockroaches I'll guarantee a sure method to eliminate them out of your house and it's cheap. If you have a lot of them then mix up a big enough batch so you can treat your whole house. 4 pounds of Flour 4 Pound of Boric acid 4 Pounds of cocoa Put an equal amount in a tin pan, plastic. glass or whatever your pans should have a lip to keep your mixture in your pan.Put a pan in each room or closet and I'll guarantee in 2 weeks you will be sweeping them up off of the floor. NO MORE COCKROACHES (One thing make sure if you have cats or dogs make sure they cannot get into this mixture) Good Luck Louie Roy |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Sep 12 - 11:00 AM I know those moths. Little grey-brown guys. They like nesting and reproducing inside a bag of rice, a box of biscuits, a bag of flour, cereal, anything along that general line. At first you notice the odd one fluttering around the place. Then you notice many of them. The search begins. You have to go through every damn cupboard meticulously and search every possible food source. When you finally find them, you have found the motherlode of moths, and it's a mess! You throw the colony out in the trash. After that it's a question of hunting down the scouts and survivors one by one, and that can take awhile. |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: GUEST,Tony Date: 18 Sep 12 - 07:58 AM What about moths? Boric acid won't work because they don't walk along baseboards. They don't walk at all. They just cling to the wall and flit around the kitchen. They came with a big bag of rice, like a toy in a cereal box. There were dozens at first, till I discovered the problem and ditched the rice. Now they come out one at a time, volunteering for a daily suicide mission. They haven't shown any interest in my clothes, just the kitchen. I haven't found any other infested food, but they're small and probably don't eat much. How can I persuade them to leave? |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 17 Sep 12 - 07:31 PM Okay...but how does the gal get to know you HAVE that big banana until some time after she's already decided she likes you? I don't wave my bananas around in front of just anyone, ya know. I've heard of people who did, and they usually got arrested. - Chongo |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: gnu Date: 17 Sep 12 - 07:24 PM Oh, don't be modest, Chimp. It's yer big banana and ya know it. Demure as they are, chicks dig big dicks. And peelers. I saw it on the internut. |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 17 Sep 12 - 07:18 PM I think yer talkin' about a different Renata, gnu. Are you referrin' to the opera singer? How do I land "a babe like that"? Well, I guess it is a combination of my debonair style, my chivalric attitude, and my way with guns, fast cars, and liquor. That's how I figger it. They sense danger (along with my undeniable charm), and it attracts 'em. - Chongo |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: gnu Date: 17 Sep 12 - 05:24 PM Reanata? She can SING, dude! How did a hairy ape like you land a babe like that?! |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 17 Sep 12 - 12:59 PM Well, it is done. The exterminators done a great job here. There was unbelievable numbers of dead roaches layin' around afterward, sorta like dry dead leaves in Autumn, only smaller. We swept 'em up in piles and then stuffed 'em in green garbage bags. I am gonna send them bags of dead roaches by parcel post as contributions to the Obama campaign and the Romney campaign. Ook! Ook! ;-D Now that I got this roach infestation behind me, it is time to get the lead out for the final stretch, my triumphant run to the White House. Renata told me last night that given the general situation in the country and in the world, I'd hafta be a bit crazy to even want to be president. I'm not sure if she was jokin' or if she really meant it, but I can sorta see her point. Still, I don't think it would be right for me to just walk away when the country is in crisis. That wouldn't be the honorable thing to do. - Chongo |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Henry Krinkle Date: 17 Sep 12 - 12:28 PM That's the key. Use the right spray. Or you're wasting your money. And you have to do it routinely. About every 3 months. (:-(D)= |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Joe_F Date: 16 Sep 12 - 06:12 PM In a commune I belonged to in the '70s, our kitchen-dining building was an old farmhouse with a lot of cracks in it. For a while, there was an assigned task of turning on the lights at 3 a.m. and vacuuming them up. There was, of course, conscientious objection to poisoning them, but the spectacle of their coming out at all hours and trying to snatch food off people's plates eventually overcame it. We hired some people who came with tanks on their backs who squirted stuff into the cracks, and out of the cracks tumbled multitudes of cockroaches. Then they swept them together, and on the kitchen floor was a disk of dead cockroaches about a yard across and several inches deep. That was the end of it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 16 Sep 12 - 08:35 AM Spare us yer dark fantasies, Rap-man. I spent the night out and am callin' in the professional exterminators today. I'll get some boric acid too, just in case. Boy, this has been a disgustin' episode to go through. I'm convinced the Democrats and Republicans are responsible for it. They're tryin' to derail my campaign. - Chongo |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Rapparee Date: 16 Sep 12 - 07:04 AM Wrap the place tightly in plastic wrap. Dump a couple cans of Zyklon B on the floor. Oopsy! -- forgot to get out first, didn't you? Well, so much for Chonga..... |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 16 Sep 12 - 05:14 AM In the sixties I worked in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for 3 months as a temp auxiliary nurse during student vacations. The Scots call cockroaches 'steam beetles', and they were everywhere, in patients' lockers and even on/in their beds. Thye have a distinctive smell and carry diseases (not the Scots, the roaches) The Steam Beetle Man came to each ward carrying his large torch, but he never made any inroads in the numbers of the things. Fortunately for public health, the hospital was demolished and Edinburgh has a spanking modern Infirmary. In West Africa, cockroaches are called 'kaffars' and are absolutely ENORMOUS. They make a rattling sound as they scuttle along. Grooooo! |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: fox4zero Date: 16 Sep 12 - 12:46 AM Get hold of a single Banana spider and you will never see another roach is your home. They are nocturnal so you won't ever see the spider again. Only get one spider and make sure it's not a pregnant female |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: gnu Date: 15 Sep 12 - 11:20 PM My dear wee old sweet mum asked me about the wads of cotton batting scattered round the yard in about May of this year. I replied, "Better them than ta have Great Jeezely Carpenter Ants eat yer house, eh?" |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 15 Sep 12 - 07:58 PM I thought of usin' a flamethrower, Rap, but I was worried it might set the whole building on fire, see? Otherwise I woulda used one for sure. The tommygun scared hell out of 'em, but it didn't actually kill that many, and it made a hell of a mess outta the place, and Mrs McGillicuddy downstairs called the cops. Again! She keeps doin' that. She has it in for me for some reason. Fortunately, I know a lotta them cops pretty well. I told 'em that I was defendin' myself against another hit attempt by the Northside Gorillas, and I think they bought it, but they was surprised to find no blood or bodies layin' around (aside from the cockroaches). I told 'em the gorillas was a little more cautious than usual, and they all got away. I am goin' out first thing tomorrow and buyin' a truckload of boric acid. And tonight? I think I'll just stay out all night tonight. No use tryin' to sleep at home under these conditions. - Chongo |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Janie Date: 15 Sep 12 - 06:26 PM They really are remarkably resilient. In my memory I have not lived in circumstances that required all-out war against cochroaches, but I also have rarely lived in apartment buildings or duplexes. Mom tells tales of when she was young and I was an infant of marching into neighboring apartments and both raising a ruckus and helping clean out under sinks and pantries to eliminate cockroaches. Never had a major problem with them myself. Luck of the draw. |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: gnu Date: 15 Sep 12 - 06:04 PM It's no less disgusting than it was meant to be at the time. Wasn't the entire movie making fun of these losers? Showing them to degenerates? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: GUEST,Tony Date: 15 Sep 12 - 06:01 PM I once moved into an apartment where the roaches were so bad they'd run across my plate while I was eating. Sprays and bombs only got rid of them temporarily. But when I sprinkled boric acid along all the baseboards, that solved it permanently. I never saw another roach in the three years I lived there. Of course, that doesn't mean there weren't any. Just that I didn't see any. I read a book about roaches that said they avoid people if at all possible, so if you see a roach it means you have so many of them that there are no more places to hide. And it said a roach can have three thousand offspring per year. And they send the little ones out into your apartment to forage, and when they go back to hide the big ones eat them. And it said the reason boric acid works so well is because it's an irritant. They get it on their legs and it bothers them so they lick it off. But then it causes gas inside, and they can't fart so their insides explode. And then the big ones in hiding eat them and they get the gas and explode. |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: gnu Date: 15 Sep 12 - 05:03 PM WHERE DID MY POST GO? Ya save yer roaches up and wrap em in tin foil (yeah, I know) and ya poke holes in the tin foil and set a torch to it. OR ya can do it like this. |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Bobert Date: 15 Sep 12 - 04:53 PM Roaches is one on the smartest species on Earth... They been around since T-Rex and will be around after man burns up Earth and is forced to relocate on Mars... But the roaches will still be here... They are the ultimate survivors... As for ridding them from your house, it can be done... All it requires is a gallon of gas and a match... The you rebuild you a new house and they be back in a couple of weeks with all their cousins... Here's a better idea... It's called *coexist-with-a-twist*... You can catch bunches of them if want to... Just leave an empty paint can in the middle of the kitchen with an old bar of soap in it... Roaches love old soap... To collect them there are these cheese cloth strainers for paint that slip right over a paint can... Don't look in the can 'er they will all run out of it... Just come in from the side real low and put that cheese clothe over 'um and then shake 'um into the bag... Now yo have a bag full of tasty roaches ready for the microwave... Unlike corn they pop real fast... I'd say a couple hundred would pop in about 15 seconds... Little butter and a little salt and yer ready for a fun packed evening of popped-roaches, Iron City Beer and "I Love Lucy" reruns on Channel 376... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Roach Infestation!!! From: Henry Krinkle Date: 15 Sep 12 - 02:32 PM You try everything at the supermarket and Walmart to kill them and they just lap it up like it's a treat. Then you go to the DIY Pest control store. You spray and they come out in hordes. Scurrying and scampering everywhere. All over the ceiling and plummeting onto you. You scream and run out the front door. When you finally get up the courage to go back in, you see roach corpses everywhere. They're all dead. Except for a few stragglers. You smile big and bravely, knowing in 3 weeks you'll spray again. But there won't be as many next time. It's like fighting the British in at the Battle of New Orleans. (:-( ))= |
