What Am I Doing In Mexico?: Abandon Ship

Abandon Ship

I give up. The cockroaches win. I'm leaving the house until Ibis gets off work and can deal with this. I killed four smaller ones and shot a 2 incher off the deck, but at least four got away from me in the cabinets.

If you don't hear from me in 24 hours, please send backup.

Good luck!; July 27, 2008 at 1:35 PM
Ann (bunnygirl) said...: I'll send my husband and the cat. They're my personal roach-control team and when they're not snoozing, they do a pretty good job.

As a bonus, my husband can also remove bees.; July 27, 2008 at 2:47 PM

Unknown said...: I think it's all connected...you probably had the bat because he thought he found a bug buffet! Next time, ask him to swoop lower and grab a few roaches, too. Of course, in a perfect world, there would be no next time. ;); July 28, 2008 at 7:50 PM
