My wife knows the score, if there's a cockroach in the house, I must see it's dead body before it's OK for us to go to bed. I don't care who kills it. It must die

I'm good that way!

I am actually brutal with cockroach and mosquito !!! I don't want any of it in my house! So whenever I see one of it sneaking in my house, I chase it with Baygon or slipper!

Me too, exactly. My wife is more bahala na. If the cockroach hides, her attitude is like "ok, it's gone now".

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there!

Baygon, slippers. Yes. Me too

[gWaPito]

You want a rant? I got a rant for ya.

Mabuhay sa Pilipinas

hi james, I had my first experience of sleeping below a gecko or as some on here call it a tuko because that is the sound it makes. When it first kicked off it gave a sound of clearing it's throat then, what a noise! I woke Jane with my impression of jumping out of my skin, she said it only gecko so, we watched it catching flys above us.

Jane and I were staying in a nipa hut on the sea front so I guess we were the guests and the animals were the residents.

Another one we came across in our bathroom, (I will add, not in the same sense us soft brits call a bathroom.) was the crabs that borrows shells to wear, crazy or what?

brit guys chasing cockroaches with tsinelas and baygon... hmm.. what a sight would that be! lol! ) :P

[scott&ligaya]

when stopping at our place, prior to our arrival our caretaker pays some local school kids to blitz the house, kill everything that crawls (tukos are fine they eat wee small beasties) go through several sticks of anti ant chalk around the kitchen work tops and doorway sand set out the coils in advance. One of the local neighbours has a pest control business and they hit the place twice a year as well. House rule number 9 (the breaking of which is instant dismissal) is Sir must not find any ants in his bag of pandesal or coffee cup 1st thing in the morning. Only topped by house rule 10 Never run out beer!!

Tuckos are the biggest species of Gecko on the planet,I once watched one stalk and eat a ticki,I have a friend with an aviary of small finches on his garden,he told me some of his chicks were eaten by a tucko,I caught one once which drew blood when it began gnawing my knuckle Could be worse though,I saw Komodo dragons in Indo,at least we dont have them racing around the ceilings

[James Hubbard]

how did you know??

Trust me, if I know anything, it's that

[whiteraven]

watching kimono dragons on the ceiling is usually after too much redhorse

you mean there's a such thing as "too much" red horse? For me it's usually til I either pass out or choke on my own vomit.

Actually, red horse, really catches up on one.

I started on that stuff when I moved here a year ago...

I'm on the beer na beer P155 now! lol

From a biological point of view, not all roaches have cocks

[lizaphil]

[James Hubbard]

I ahte cockroaches most of all but was in a real state the other day when when travelled to Manila from Surigao. I decided to empty the suitcases to make sure we got rid of as many ants as possible. I dropped the Ipod adapter in the bathroom and Pia and I were astonished to find thousands upon thousands of ants of all levels of maturity pouring out.

We spent 45 mins pouring hot water and disinfectant in and then double bagged it when we felt sure the ants were dead. 1 week later in the UK we found live ants inside the bag.

We have 2 or 3 tukos on our house in Romblon. They were very noisy specially at night and I was praying hard that they wont fall down on me as they stay at the top of the cieling wasnt able to sleep well that night

LOL... my sister had to get the Baygon and spray on it until it died!

Easy way to get rid of roaches is buy a cage and catch a lizard, then leave jummy roach food in the cage......the lizard will be happy in the morning

[James Hubbard]

Then cook the nice fat lizard for dinner
