So many of you recommended Terro, that I went straight to the store and bought some this morning.
I've had the traps out for under 30 minutes, and below are the results. (Warning, do not scroll down if you are grossed out by bugs. Or if you are an advocate for insect rights. But if, like me, you are delighted at the site of the wholesale destruction of creepy crawly things, then by all means scroll.)
Scrolling...
Scrolling...
(Giving the squeamish people one more chance to look away...)
Here you go (and please pretend that the paint job around my baseboards is not horrible):
They are eating it up. Literally. And while only time will tell if the Terro will do its work, I'm optimistic. And I'm ready to sign up to be Terro's spokeswoman. Because, you know, becoming the spokeswoman for a toxic killer of insects is just exactly what I always longed for as a girl. Dreams do come true, people.
