[quote=\"Funz\"]Can I complain about my upstairs neighbour? She uses too much perfume. Whenever she is heading out we can smell her from 3 floors down. And me having super sensitive nose and also very sensitive to artificial fragrance, cannot tahan leh. Can I suggest that she start spraying only when she leaves the estate? But wait, when she comes back the smell is still cloying, how about she use perfume only on tuesdays and thursdays and give my nose a break the rest of the week?

Let me add on to the complaint. My neighbours spray perfume and then take the lift. When they walk out of the lift, the whole lift is full of perfume smell. So they should put a notice at the lift door: 'Do not use the lift if you are wearing perfume. Use the stairs.'

you know which brand she's using?
seems like value for money, 1 spray and the smell can last so long and so far :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :evil:[/quote]Is it Chanel? Someone on this forum uses it it to kill cockroaches. :yikes:

No need to train, it is their instinct.


This method probably only works for those who are intending to get a pet! 🙂

Hi..

Anyone knows an effective way to kill many cockroaches in kitchen? My place has lots of cockroaches after we rented it out..Thinking of getting roach fogger (bug bomb). But I could not find it..Anyone knows where I can get it? TIA

I can't find these \"bombs\" in Singapore. Staff at diy stores, ntuc etc do not know what they are (even if pictures are shown to them).

Hong Kong has them but we weren't sure if it is alright to take them on board the plane so we didn't buy.

I even bought those roach gel which doesn't work.

No choice but to get pest control guy to come in to do the whole house for peace of mind.

My own kitchen had a lot of those very small cockroaches at one stage. They thrived (and reproduced) without us knowing, until a point when they come out in the day to look for food, i think. It was shocking then, and we found that my mother had left a lot of dry food stuff unsealed around, so it was a feast for the roaches.

It was a painstaking period, where I bought those roach killers from NTUC (in a pack of 6) where you put them on the floor, wall or cupboard. After a week or two, a number of them really started dying.

I accelerated the process by hunting them at night and opening the drawers (they don't like light).

It took months before I declared the kitchen roach-free.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_cockroach_wasp

\"With its escape reflex disabled, the stung roach will simply rest in the burrow as the wasp's egg hatches after about three days. The hatched larva lives and feeds for 4–5 days on the roach, then chews its way into its abdomen and proceeds to live as an endoparasitoid. Over a period of eight days, the wasp larva consumes the roach's internal organs in an order which guarantees that the roach will stay alive, at least until the larva enters the pupal stage and forms a cocoon inside the roach's body. \"
