No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Also, I have a deck estimate guy coming saturday. And blind measuring tomorrow, though they haven't called with a time, which is annoying.

Diatomaceous earth. I actually haven't seen any new dead roaches since the weekend. I'm hoping they all died in their lairs.

eta: I feel your pain. I hate/fear the things, one of my few bug issues. I knew moving into the city proper would mean them, but uhg.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I have to say, I really, really don't miss the roaches. There's lots of things I miss about the South, but flinching every time I walk into my garage at night? Not one of them.

I was a little surprised we have NM size roaches up here in B'more. But I shouldn't have been, it makes sense given the population density and housing stock. I just didn't have them in the more suburban area I lived (I saw the little ones, but those don't freak me out.)

Blinds between 10:30 and 11:30.

Waterbugs=roaches?? I google waterbugs and find some truly horrifying nonstompable pictures of nightmares.

waterbugs are the big black roaches. huh, and now by checking out the fabulous what's that bug, I see they are American roaches, so now I wonder, what are the smaller lighter brown things?

eta - the same site answered my question - the smaller lighter ones are German cockroaches and much harder to get rid of.

If buying some of the diawhatever earth, how much to treat a full apt - say 950 sq ft? 1lb? 5 lb?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Huh - I usually use "waterbug" to mean those horrible things with a zillion legs that turn up in the bathtub sometimes.
