To war!

I firgit to mension that in the last couple days we have gone to war with the indiginouse insect population. Mosquitoe larva in the pila, which they have stuff for down here; fireants in the kitchen sink...yes that's right, FIRE ants. Turns out the dowsing the place with vinigar diswades the little blighters quite effectively. Last but cirtainly not least, we cannot forget the GIGANTIC cockroach  Jeff found in his closet. The beast was the size of a small car, and is probubly watching me type, right this moment, from under the refrigerator. We are looking up remedies to try and deal with him, and are feeling hopeful that the "backing soda and sugar" trick we found on the internet will work. We have the stuff but have hesitated in using it...we're conserned that the sugar will just attract more of them...
