reminds me of the time we had a rat problem in the attic, so we threw a bunch of poison up there, then we had a fly problem

one night i counted and killed like 70 flies and it seemed to make zero difference in the amount of flies in the house

if you have a roach problem, this shit is the best. put it in cracks and corners where they like to hang, finish most of a beer and squirt some in the can and leave the can out for a few days, no more roaches

If you can't find the fruit when you're in your kitchen then you are the fruit.

You guys need a salt gun. I've been leaving my windows + screens wide open all summer to attract prey and haven't even gotten a single fly yet. So far I have only killed a few moths and a giant centipede.

Never tried that, but I can tell you boric acid is this white powder that works ridiculously well at exterminating cockroaches. You sprinkle it on the floor around the edges and it both poisons them when they eat it as well as tears apart their exoskeletons when they touch it like little shards of glass. It's just nonfatal enough on first contact to let them go back to where other roaches are before they die and then get eaten by their roach friends who also get poisoned or torn apart in the process. Also as harmless as table salt to a human.

Cars are also part of how the world works but you wouldn't let your kid play in traffic.

Yeah, tell me about it. I've been battling these fuckers for five years now. Rooftop apartment in the tropics. During WuFlu I was shut out of the country for six solid months. There was zero food in the place, and it was midsummer when I got back, with the air conditioning shut off, meaning the interior temp was easily up in the 120s some days.

I walk in, and within minutes I see one flying around. Still alive.

I swear, the only way I'm ever gonna get rid of them is if the place gets hit with a missile.

You're not joking.

If I scrub the entire apartment completely clean, they start attacking me.

That's because they're in shared company. A good 80% of the retards here don't eat fruits or vegetables either, why do you think most of the board is fast food threads or people whining about shitty discontinued snack products?

[Anonymous No.18157906]

why don't the bugs just stay outside. i don't go out there and bother them, why must they come into MY domain and harass me?
i have warned them. if i find them inside, i will kill them. they know the risk. and yet, they return.

This. A lot of people here are grown men who still live with their parents too. It's pathetic.
