      :sick:
      Fat & heavy as I can be. I can run faster than the lizards. :siam:
      If i can fly, I probably will fly faster than the cockroaches. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

      During times like this, pls forget mommy. SHOUT for DADDY!!!
      We used to run together, but hubby realised he cannot outrun me. Plus must be 'hero' in front of kids. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

      :offtopic: 😉
      i cant run...cos my DW will get the kids and run and hide and close any doors behind me...i got no where to run... :rotflmao:

      is it? Then good - my home must be free of roaches! 😄 recently found many lizards at home. Big, small, juveniles....

      I fear roaches more than lizards and hated the cleaning up I need to do after spotting one.
      im nt sure just based on my experience. cos initially when i shifted here are all roaches...then whack them all....after renovating is like that....once cleaner, lizards start appearing and roaches nvr see them liao.

        I hate Lizards ! Whenver I spot one, I will not rest until I kill it or chase it away ( to other hses? ), even if this can take days ! I noticed Lizards love to stay/hide almost the same place so I wld keep watchful eyes around that area . Newspaper is my fav ( and very effective) weapon to kill it if I can spot it. Else, I will use the sticky pad to trap .... The first time I use this... ho ho ho.. I caught 2 lizards + 1 small fly. Very well done job and a great sense of accomplishments !

        u just gave me an idea...buy the sticky trap and stick the nonsticky part to a rolled up newspaper... then if i cant reach the lizard...i can thorw and try very hard to aim to let the sticky part get the lizard...so i can continue to whack the lizard cos they cant run cos they are sticked on? hmmmm...kinda far fetched but worth a try.

        1 thing i still cant figure the lizard is that hw did they always disappear so fast? like i spray insecticide on them at the ceiling, they look groggy and fell behind the table, then when i look behind the table, cant find liao...damn fast....fast hand fast leg. :yikes:

              so far have been using cloves for about almost 2 months i think…seems quite long…each room 1 pack at location where they like to appear, seems to work well.


              no more lizards…how i know? i did not see one or hear one and most imptly, i see lots of spiderwebs ard the house. i rather kill spiders than lizards…

              long live the cloves…long live the cloves…

              anyone know where to buy cheaper cloves? i bought 100gm at $5 from medicinal shop.

                Try any Indian shop or Mustafa. It should be cheaper (although I can not remember the price).

                  Any tips for getting rid of ants for good?


                  I’ve been keeping my kitchen clean, have used insecticide, a variety of ant poisons, teabags, vinegar…but the ants keep coming back!

                  It’s really frustrating. Anyone has tips?
