I am really really scare of lizards especailly those found their ways inside the kitchen's cupboards... it always give me a fight when I open the cupboard at night.

mummyjoyce,

The insect killer spray can be found in most supermarkets, like NTUC.
They cost about $11 and normally displayed together with the rest of the 'bug' killing stuff, mosq coil.
A little pricy but better than chasing after them or staring at them on the lizard pad...they disappear for a while after using this stuff

Thanks for the quick reply. Either you are browsing this site during working hour or you are a SAHM
I think I have seen this before; it is green with a big Lizard infront of the bottle. However when I read the fine print; it said that it is to prevent lizards from crawling - not to repulse the lizard. I think the liquid spray out will form a thin layer on wall which prevent the lizards from crawling in.

Anyway, I will read the print again next time when I am at the supermarket again. However the thought of holding the bottle with a big lizard print on it already scare me.

hi all,


how to prevent small small brownish ‘bugs’ ‘growing’ in the uncooked rice?

[Andaiz]

use garlic bulbs, pink daisy, it usually works. This was discussed in a separate thread. You may want to go there often. The parents do provide some very good hints/help for day-to-day household issues.



Mods, please merge with \"Tried & Tested\" thread.Thanks.

Then it must be a very warm place you are putting the rice box, pink_daisy?
