Lizards i dun mind… though i hate it when they peed or shit… cockroaches… YUCKS!~~ they better stay far far from me… juz 2 weeks ago saw a huge one coming out from DS room… i screamed out for DH!! from den on… i make sure ds windows is never open…

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 !

: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.

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:

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?
