1203708 2011-05-21 11:07:00 They love fly spray.

I get the odd one in my garage but they die very quickly with Mortein. One found its way into our kitchen yesterday but it was no match for the waste disposal.

Cockroach spray kills the ordinary little ones in a flash. We get the odd one because the house next door was infested for years. New owners have dealt to them big time but I think residual colonies must still exist and the little buggers sometimes cross the border without passports.

Cheers

That's what I meant. They go into break dancing mode far more quickly than flies.:lol:

1203710 2011-05-21 11:19:00 There are about 30 different species in New Zealand, about 8 of those have been introduced. As Billy points out they didn't even have passports.

I used to hate spiders until I met cockroaches. Compared with cockroaches, spiders are positively charming. Wetas are another matter altogether. :horrified

There are some weta species that are endangered. Wetas are also harmless and unlikely to be inside. Yay for the weta.

But the most hateful bug is the Stink Bug.

It emits a nasty dual-chemical that jets out of their back end that makes me barf.

The smell they create is nauseating and I have almost retched from it a few times . I may be sensitive, but they are one of the most obnoxious bugs we have .

I can live with the tarantulas and scorpions, as they really want nothing to do with people - but stink bugs I stay away from by yards .
