AAAAAAAAH! I can't help screaming and they immediately started running for the fridge. I took my milk glass in hand and put it over one of them. Last time I did this in Greece, the roach suffocated. It's not working this time. When I woke up this morning he is still alive under there. Now what?
I also saw one in our garbage yesterday - he was doing a little dance, when he saw me he ran out and went under the dishwasher. I may have to resort to Morteins. Is that wrong? I'm pretty sure it is. It does not seem right to plug bug killer into a plug and let it kill bugs. It really must do something to people too don't you think?
I can just imagine them all under the fridge and dishwasher. They're multiplying!
I should mention there was also a rather large dead gecko on our porch this morning that was being consumed by the ants. The ants are rather efficient here but I thought the lizard might take them a while so I made Cyp put it in the garden. I am also letting a rather large spider live just off our porch. I'm saving him for mom and dad. His web is quite spectacular. He is a tent web spider. Harmless apparently. He is not too creepy crawly - quite amazing looking really.
