Don't get your hopes up...
2004-09-30
Don't get your hopes up too much, but I'm hoping I found the bug and killed it dead. The site seems much more responsive since this morning's restart. Until I'm sure it's dead, I'll keep the backup site in sync with this one. Don't discard your bookmarks...

#7  Shipman - I'll get my cat to e-mail your cat so that they can share and develop roach-attack strategies.

2b - I have to remind MYSELF not to eat where I work. It's a factory so it's a bit difficult to plug up entry points for roaches and mice.

#6  2b How far north do you live?
Roaches like to live inside, where it's nice and warm and there's a friendly ear to crawl into.

#5  Bryan...remind me not to eat where you work!

The best way to get rid of rodents and roaches is to close the holes from whence they come in. A couple of cans of caulking a can of "Great Stuff" and an afternoon and your problems are forever gone! Oh yeah, and a couple of Combat traps to get the ones already inside.

Kinda hard for Fred to do, I guess..seeing as how he invites us rodents in.

#4  I have a feral cat that has a patented Roach Pounce a sort of power dive with the front paws close together like a fur hammer. I see squished roaches every morning.

#3  Fred: There's a wild kitten where I work who has decided that her mission in life is to keep the roach population down. She stalks them and then, instead of getting bored with them like the other cats do, she plays with them for a while and then kills them very dead. I also haven't seen one mouse since she's been around.

I reward her with occasional left over roast chicken and real cat food out of the can.

May your hunt for the bugs that dare infect this site be as successful.

#1  Fred most people didn't read the last obvious notice or bookmark the back up site. People just don't take time to read the distructions.

I hope you found it too. Thanks for the good work and excelent site.
