    "In Singapore and Malaysia, taxi drivers use Pandan leaves as a cockroach repellent in their vehicles.[25"

    Stick some Pandan leaves behind the toilet!
    If you don't have time to do it right
                    ...when will you have time to do it over?

      Stick some Pandan leaves behind the toilet!

      seems like a more natural repellent compared to Raid

      (Didnt read the entire topic)


      Cockroaches have hairs on their back and legs that detect wind movement, so when you go to crush them, they feel the breeze that goes by, and start running. Its a nerve impulse, the running action happens without the cockroaches brain realizing it.

      In fact, cockroaches can live about two weeks without their head, they die of dehydration. They can go 40 minutes without oxygen, I suspect that the soap is poisonous to them, and that its not a matter of having no oxygen.

        I dont really like TV...

        There are a few shows that I will record and watch without commercials:
        House, Scrubs, LOST, Desperate Housewives, Good Eats, Dead Like Me, Dr. Who (classic, and new), Red Dwarf, and my soap operas (not something I watch a lot... I got caught up in the plot of "One Life to Live" since Rex and whatshisface got stuck in 1968, a very twisty plot)
        That may seem like a lot, but, if you consider that I mostly watch new episodes, that changes the story a bit.
        (I do watch Scrubs repeats a lot though)

        The point remains clear: I dont dedicate much time to TV.
