Katie....one won't do. You need at least a dozen to make a stew with them since they are smaller than quail Originally Posted by tbone2u
That is sooo gross, LOL.

They really are small though. I found this youtube vid that shows how they get in small spaces. It's really creepy.

My problem is with cockroaches
I have a small can of acetone in the bathroom so if I see a cockroach I just splash some acetone on the critter and thats it.
otherwise they scurry so fast I cannot catch them. Originally Posted by instfixer

I have a bat pinned under a trash can. How the #%*& do I get him out of here? Originally Posted by CurvyKatie

Scared me shitless and I almost fell 50' to the ground.
