Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 24 < The postman hits! --more -- > < You have new mail. > I currently live in an apartment which is infested with roaches, and in a few weeks will be moving to a new place. The manager of the new complex tells us that they're pretty much roach-free due to regular extermination and a little effort from the residents, and in order to maintain that status, she suggests that we take measures to avoid carrying any with us when we pack up our stuff from the old complex. Well, we can handle this problem with most of our stuff, but how do you deroachify your telephone, TV, and PC? We frequently see the little buggers crawling in and out of these appliances; we've opened up our telephone and cleaned it out before, but I'd rather not try this on our TV and computer. Does anyone have any suggestions? (The best suggestion we've had has been to use a few foggers in our apartment the day before we start packing.) Please respond by mail. I'll post summaries if requested. Thanks. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ "To err is human; to admit it is not."
