Dead Babies

Posted by Rebecca Tue, 15 Apr 2008 03:05:00 GMT

Tonight, Becky found the second dead baby cockroach on the kitchen floor near the pantry.

The last one she found on Saturday near the stove.

It’s working.

Now we know that even if we can’t locate all the eggs, we can at least kill the innocent, newborn, still gray-in-color baby roaches.

There is something so satisfying in that.

UPDATE: This morning I found two more dead baby roaches on the floor. One looked like it had been squished, but the other was in tact, on its back with its six icky little legs folded neatly across its abdomen in perfect mortuary fashion.

MAKES ME SO HAPPY!

ATTACK!

In the kitchen:

The pantry was emptied. Food that was not thrown away was placed in plastic bags after their packages were disinfected. Bagged food was placed on table away from kitchen.

The counters were cleaned again and disinfected.

The floor was swept.

Boric acid was spread along all baseboards.

Baits were placed.

Egg stoppers were activated and placed.

In the Bathroom:

Every crevice, crack and pipe was caulked.

As soon as I can, I will re-clean the bathroom, spread boric acid, place baits and place an egg stopper.

For now we wait.

WE WAIT FOR THEIR DOOM!

Becky discovered where they are aggregating.

Hooah!

They are SO. GONNA. DIE.
