for those that had roaches prob, do you also have lizards probs?


I reckon that we can only have either one as they dun like ea other. just on my experience.

gog to share my experience with lizards. nt to stop them but to kill them.

i saw pour hot water or spray insecticide to blur them. all i m using. but only if they are unreachable by me. my fave weapon is still rolled up newspaper.

new accessory to help me is torchlight. hopefully those ultra bright ones. no not to blind them but to irritate them. like when they are at a place where we cant whack them due to any reasons, i use torchlight to shine at them and keep moving the light. not just shine at them but flashing at them nonstop. they cant tke it. they quickly siam and try to run away.

HOPEFULLY they run to somewhere that you can whack them.

multiple flat bodies with their organs all come out. ok i stop here. getting gross liao. :siam:

: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:

This is hilarious!!! :rotflmao:

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 !

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:

Imami:

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.

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.

long live the cloves…long live the cloves…

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?
