Big Black Cockroaches
Our 20-year-old brick and tiled place we liven in has big black (3.5cm) long coach roaches entering and I can’t find a way to get rid of them, other than the fly swotter. One even crawled onto my brow one night in bed and I was able to reach up quickly and kill it there right on my head. I held it there until it was dead in the mirror with the light on. I never leave food out overnight so as not to encourage them. They do seem to come in from our loo pipes and crawl freely after that. We kill around 3 per week on average. Does anyone here have any ideas on what I might do please, as I would like less of these guys in my life, and they are reputed to carry diseases?

Lights on Mistletoe
Looking for a local Xmas Lights display in Browns Bay? Come and check out 4 Mistletoe Place. We're at it again with a great display, walk through gardens, sweets for the kids, and of course the 'snow' machine.
So grateful again for the support from New World Browns Bay.
Its FREE. So come and admire from the road, then walk through the gardens and immerse yourself in all the lights. We're collecting for Child Cancer Foundation, so any donation is greatly appreciated.
Lights on at 7:50pm and turn off around 11. (Off at midnight in the final week of Xmas.)
Spread the word and we'll see you soon.
