so........ we've had the pest people round, because Nandos did.

and they put all these weird 'eco-traps' around the edges of our living room/hall/kitchen/bathroom, to catch cockroachs.

up until recently, none have been caught in the trap, and i was slightly deluding myself in the belief that they'd all gone.

UNTIL.

one was spotted stuck in one of the traps on monday morning, outside the bathroom. i took a look at it, thought it was dead. then a bit later, the original sighter said that it had moved. i examined it again, decided she was mental.

HOWEVER.............. in the evening, i walked by it again, and the fucker was gone. GONE. NO TRACE.

eco-trap MY ASS. we were told not to put it on our faces as we wouldn't be able to get it off. and now a damned COCKROACH can defeat it? what the hell.
