Hi Dale,

 RH> did seem like it was quite cold but not a prolonged cold, with days or
 RH> nights below zero.  So, the bugs don't get killed off as well as they

 DS> Bugs do tend to be more of a problem in the southern states.  I

That's how I got in the practice of cleaning up all the dirty dishes at
night, not leaving them till morning.  Sometimes the kitchen lighting
wasn't too great and making sure they were all clean (by hand) at 10 or
11 pm was a bit of a challlenge. (G)

 DS> might attract them in Florida.   The small rental house we had at Fort
 DS> Benning, Ga. had hundreds of cockroaches when we moved in.  Most were
 DS> gone before we left two months later though.

We've dealt with them in various places too.  HI was one of the worst
places; the quarters had been vacant for a while.  Not hundreds of them
but enough to startle me for while.  By the time I got out of the
hospital after breaking my elbow ( 2 weeks after moving in) tho, the
roaches had pretty much decided to move elsewhere.  When we'd see one or
two appear again, we knew it was time to renew our defensive actions.
The centipedes were nastier to have in the house but Steve had a good
way to deal with them.  He'd grab them with the bbq tongs and send them
down the running garbage disposal.  Beat the way a friend dealt with
them; he'd pop them in the freezer--until I told his wife about Steve's
method. (G)
