[00:00]	IsambardPrince	The idea is that if you set out a bunch of these traps, most of the problem will stay under control because it will divert many of the roaches that are foraging for food.
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	Since they're cheap and use no poison, it doesn't really matter if it's an imperfect solution because most of the problem will go away and there's no risk of poisoning yourself or pets or anything.

[00:13]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The roach traps actually smell pretty good.
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	A very strong smell sort of like peanut butter.
[00:13]	MinceR	take care not to get stuck in one
[00:14]	IsambardPrince	I ordered a bunch off Amazon but grabbed some at Dollar General too in order to get a head start.
[00:14]	IsambardPrince	I put the traps I got at DG in areas where I've seen the most activity.
[00:15]	IsambardPrince	When the ones from Amazon get here I'll place them around the house to sort of fan out and see if they catch any and as a preventative measure.

[02:09]	IsambardPrince	I've thrown out 10 bags of garbage.
[02:11]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The neighbor girl says they're so overrun with roaches she woke up with them on her.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	I think it's probably because they're not doing anything to contain it.
[02:18]	IsambardPrince	After the zapping last night I haven't seen any so far today.
[02:18]	IsambardPrince	I opened all the pantries and deep cleaned and fried about 10 of them.
[02:22]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Now that the pantries are clean I throw them open now and then with The Punisher in my hand.
[02:22]	IsambardPrince	Ready to zap them before they scurry off.
[02:22]	IsambardPrince	They seem to stare at you for a couple seconds and that's all it takes to zap them if you're prepared for there being one there.
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	I pulled out the fridge and blasted the floor with Ortho like it said to. I also did that under the oven. I'm putting roach motels in all the cabinets.
[02:24]	IsambardPrince	Combat traps spread throughout the house.
[02:24]	IsambardPrince	It's going to be some combination of poison, poison bait, zapping, and glue traps.
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Someone on Amazon trapped a lizard in a roach motel.
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	They said they got him out by running waram water under him and they let him go on the backyard.
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	Someone else caught a bird had to get it out the same way. Lots of feathers in the trap though.
[02:44]	IsambardPrince	Someone else caught a lizard and had to pour canola oil on the trap to get it out.
[02:44]	MinceR	has anyone caught a jeff bezos in one yet?

[02:50]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I hate it when that happens. I know $1.25 isn't a lot of money but I hate to waste a perfectly good trap on a Jeff Bezos.
[02:50]	IsambardPrince	And to get him out you need like $400 worth of canola.

[03:01]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The Mother of All Demons on Doom64 looked like a giant cockroach.
[03:01]	IsambardPrince	Now I see why.
[03:01]	MinceR	:)
[03:01]	IsambardPrince	You can play Doom64 on your Chromebook in a number of ways, but the PC port The Absolution through Linux is the best.
[03:02]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I turned the lights off in the kitchen deliberately. All night I go in there and see if there's a roach anywhere and zap it if there is.
[03:02]	MinceR	i played the official re-release instead
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	They don't like the light so it makes it impossible to sneak up on them.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	You have to turn it off and wait for them to think it's safe to come out.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	Then give them some high voltage.
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	It seems to be one of the few things they can't adapt to.
[03:10]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, There were giant radioactive cockroaches in fallout.
[03:10]	IsambardPrince	You pretty much have to shoot them.
[03:11]	IsambardPrince	They don't take too much to kill so later on they're just another nuisance you can deal with, using a 9mm pistol and VATS.
[03:11]	IsambardPrince	What really hurts are those mutated wasps.
[03:11]	IsambardPrince	I think they call them stingwings.
[03:12]	IsambardPrince	There's almost never only one of them, and they can poison you and screw up your vision.
[03:14]	IsambardPrince	I have a 9mm pistol with an extended magazine clip that does bonus damage to ghouls. I made some more improvements like a laser sight. The extended magazine and added damage makes it easier to blow off a leg on a bunch of them. Really all you have to do is that and then they aren't really a threat.
[03:15]	IsambardPrince	It was funny when I went into that comic book store to get Grognak's Axe and it was overrun with ghouls and I was just kneecapping all of them. Once I got the axe I just bashed them all to finish them off.
