I think you should send this post to DreamWorks.<BR/><BR/>We have stink bugs that fly in through the chimney.

I chalk it up to both apartment living and old building moans and squeaks.

It was balloon construction. So an animal that got into the house could go anywhere. I had several colonies of squirrels and other assorted rodents. Often at night I would hear battles going off in the walls. I am so glad I didn't have a shotgun handy as many times I would have blasted through the roof to get rid of them because they used to keep Max and I up all night.Penguinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-63583716848091122482009-03-30T12:25:00.000-06:002009-03-30T12:25:00.000-06:00Okay, sorry to do this but I have to ask - It woul...Okay, sorry to do this but I have to ask - It wouldn't be roaches, would it?<BR/><BR/>Nothing freaky here at the moment, but when a cane spider gets in, I don't sleep well. They are really hard to catch and are nocturnal, so once I see one, I don't sleep until husband catches it.

Very spooky.<BR/><BR/>Have fun with your new 'roommates'!. ;)JLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05405559509794744714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-32270683217695008362009-03-30T08:49:00.000-06:002009-03-30T08:49:00.000-06:00Oh man!
