After moving to Sri Lanka, I became a full on committer of 'Insecticide' on a regular basis. I wacked, crushed & sprayed everything. cockroaches, ants, HUGE spiders. I left the geckos alone. they used to fall on me often, but we lived side by side. It IS a constant wearying battle unfortunately. good luck!Paradise Lost In Translationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507703496080523959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-88284592919251664272010-09-06T07:13:28.600-07:002010-09-06T07:13:28.600-07:00I do know what you mean and sort of admire the coc...I do know what you mean and sort of admire the cockraoch resilience.

Sons have always rented older properties which are rife with the dirty little beasties and the barrier spray works best as it goes on killing - including eggs - the other stuff is ok for spot eradication. Having always had a new house since moving here, the barrier spray has kept them out, even now that we are out of town and get lots of different creepie-crawlies (which also die! I no longer have any green credentials were insects are concerned ;-(<br /><br />PS you can freeze cockroaches and they still come back to life!sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247276433803886670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-941039366971844722010-09-06T00:29:18.215-07:002010-09-06T00:29:18.215-07:00I'm afraid I would be one of those running acr...I'm afraid I would be one of those running across the back of the sofa, screaming!<br />Since I spent 10 minutes last night rescuing a worm from the recycling bag, I know where you're coming from.<br />But good trick for piece and quiet.
