I had the laptop on the dining room table and thought that I could mylot there. But on looking down, I saw a roach looking at me from the floor. I cursed (in Spanish) while looking for one spider and roach Raid. Anita had hidden the one I had in my bedroom (another curse word). Finally I found it and sprinkled enough Raid to drown it. The roach was almost dead already because it did not move its legs. But I came back to my room. Later on I´ll pick it up with a broom. Claudia had brought me some seedlings of those pear shaped tomatoes. They were on a tiny place together. So I placed them in abigger space ( not the last one) with the best soil and added water. I hope they grow. I need to fill with soil the biggest containers and put one plant in each of them. Now I´ll feed Luna and clean the kitchen. See you later.

Cockroaches breed quickly. It might be a good idea to reach out to pest control just to be safe.

@MarieCoyle That is right, Marie. You will be surprised at how countless they are, as they typically hide during the day and only come out at night. Yikes. Hehehe

@freelancermariagrace I do not have any and I do not want any, either. They are so disgusting. Ugh. I would have to call an exterminator.

For every roach you see in your home, there can be literally hundreds more just out of sight. They are looking for food and water...never leave water in your sink all night, or on the stove uncovered, for sure.

Mice are starting to come into the house now that it's getting cold at night. I can't stand them. I caught one; but I saw another one yesterday. Yechh! I'm sorry you found a cockroach. Yikes! Have a good week.

I have had one mouse in the house in over25 years. It got into the bag where I had the bread. My husband took the bag, tied it and took it who knows where.

@LindaOHio I could not live alone in a house with mice. I would not be able to sleep.

@celticeagle I went to water them this evening and they were much alive. I´ll wait for Anita to come so that she can help me place them in big containers.

that is the reason for the pest control here. I forgot to mention that my daughter once saw a roach outside her window. I don't want to deal with a flying roach

When I visited a friend in Venezuela thay had to bring an exterminator every few months. They had small roaches everywhere and once in a while giant roaches under the beds. In my neighborhood we don´t have many.

@marguicha I saw just small roaches. It comes from the neighbor who is renovating the house. The house has not been used for a long time

It has been a long time since I had a vegetable garden. Now, with Luna I can only have some plants in containers.

@grenery8 I used to garden a lot but now I cannot. Not because of Luna but because of my legs.

RAID, for me, is as important as any staple food. I could not live in a place with bugs.

I would have stepped on the bugger and swept it away and did my work there, I could not use a laptop on a bed, I once tried in Latvia and could never get comfy enough, Now I am glad to have a workroom and a desktop PC and a laptop for entertainment,

I could not stop on a roach. I would have to cut my foot and throw it away with the shoe.

I separated them a bit and placed them in a bigger container with good and rather loose soil. I´ll transplant them to their final place when they are bigger

I can´t step on a road. I prefer to kill a spider that way or any other bug. And I am very motherly with lizards if they get inside that house. But roaches disgust me.

Well, insects and rodents are a big challenge in house. Sometimes , these little thig spoil our mood and we may not proceed with planned activities. I mylot from my study room. I have not found it easy to mylot from other places as there will be constant disturbances. Plus , I come to my study room for relaxation and thats when I usually mylot. I do not mylot other than from home , as I usually find it difficult to concentrate from other locations. I got the idea the idea to kill time with mylot while waiting at other locations and need to experiment that. Well, enjoy your gardening and well enjoy the day!
