Originally Posted By believe Rats, mice, roaches, are everywhere. No matter where you live. The trick is to keep them a safe distance from your living space. For restaurants, you need to keep the pests out of the facility - otherwise the health inspectors will close the place down.

Water rats? Are you frikkin kidding me? I've never heard of such a disgusting thing. Ew ew ew ew ew ew. I know I should google this, but I'm too creeped out. This is my karma for reading this thread and feeling vaguely superior because I'm not totally creeped out by bugs. : (

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Hans, yes I have, I'm fine as long as I know it's not real. I'm just really upset by insects or ants invading my home, or if there is a disgusting bug on me or near me.

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance Off topic kind of, but not really. I just saw an episode of that show "Hoarders" on A&E, and there was this lady that had a hoarding problem, and she LITERALLY had dead rats laying all over her house right out in plain view!!! I won't go into graphic details, but they were right there in the kitchen laying along side her pots and pans and food.

I've been told by friends that live in NY that our CA roaches are 5 times bigger then NY roaches. I don't have trouble beliving here. I've seen some massive ones.
