Happy Father's Day!

I took my dad out to a diner three blocks away called "Manny's." Got up early on a Sunday morning and everything. Which is quite remarkable, considering the fact that I was awakened at three am by roaches crawling up and down the wall six inches from my face; also the night before that I had got aproximately three hours of sleep

There's a few suggestions here - though some of them are nasty ones, not all are.

Fabulous site -- I'll also use their tips on gardening. Who knew catnip was a roach-deterent? Thanks so much!

I share your reluctance to kill something just because it happens to be successful and annoying.
The only exception I make is for something that persists in biting me.

Yes. Like mesquitos. It's not like you can really keep from killing them when they're biting you, is it? Your instinct is to just swat the little buggers.

Did you know that when a roach bites you, the skin looks exactly like it's been burned with a cigarette? *shudders*

Going to go find some catnip.
