I know this is a bit gross .. but it is part of life here. I have this stuff called 'combat' that kills cockroaches and it works pretty good, but I have to say the geckos do a good job too! geckos are wonderful little creatures that eat all sorts of bugs and we like them. they are allowed to co-habitat with us inside. i admit that bob has killed a few geckos and i always say, 'leave those alone they eat bugs!!!'
see? here is the evidence!!!
except it is a bit graphic to find this on my counter in the morning.
a headless cockroach!! the sugar ants (all those little bugs on the counter) were delighted with their breakfast! I must say though I couldn't stand the sight of all of them swarming around the dead cockroach so I sprayed raid and "killed them dead!"
as i am looking at this more I am thinking maybe it isn't a cockroach after all.. the legs are a bit too long and hairy but either way I am glad that the gecko won! Just need to teach him to clean up after himself and not leave 'food' on the counter.
if your place is 'bugless' then thank God!
