The roaches have been one of my hugest frustrations. It has been hard for me to get over the mentality I grew up with in the states that if I am keeping my house clean, I won't have them. They are everywhere here and everyone has them....I just have to keep reminding myself that.

My dad would stand on a kitchen chair next to the light switch with an old pancake turner, then flip off the light until the roaches came out of hiding. Then he'd flip the light on & proceed to kill as many bugs as he could reach Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03999013192529886620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040195764717791738.post-46668061898510126442010-03-18T13:11:47.029-07:002010-03-18T13:11:47.029-07:00Also, are you trying to deter me from seeking fore...Also, are you trying to deter me from seeking foreign mission work? ;-)Grateful for Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429985486466317061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040195764717791738.post-14607903256300665022010-03-16T20:07:02.536-07:002010-03-16T20:07:02.536-07:00Gah-ross!

IF you decide to use that Borax powder to make a sweet dough which you roll in balls to put places for them to eat, and IF you get called away, PLEASE tell your kids that you are making cockroach poison and not cookies... because it does NOT taste very good when they snitch a lick of cookie dough that was destined for cockroaches!<br /><br />Do you cover your drains with weighted covers?
