Cockroach Trap

For those of you in Vegas, have you ever seen News 3's Jim Snyder: Saving you Money clip for the cockroach trap??? I have many times, thought it was a cheap way to kill the nasty's. Luckily for us, we haven't had too much of a bug problem.

UNTIL THE OTHER NIGHT!!!!
Just thinking about it makes me dry heave. (gag - gag)

The other night I turned on the light and opened the front door. It was like a cockroach version of a gay pride parade people!!!!! THEY WERE EVERYWHERE!!! I quickly slammed the door shut, but one little nasty got into the house! What part of No Trespassing did he not understand?!?! After about 5 minutes of screaming like a little girl and chasing this nasty thing with my "Just Married" flip flop, the trespasser was finally destroyed! Wooo..... I wasn't sure if I was going to make it! You see, usually I would call for Lee and he would come running to rescue me, because by my deadly screams he would think I was being attacked by a burglar, and then he would kill the deadly creature. BUT, Lee is in St. Marten right now, so I had to do it!

So after this tragic experience of bugs, I found out how to make the cockroach trap. You must have...
a jar, "used" coffee grounds, and water.

I was discouraged since I don't drink coffee, therefore I didn't have used grounds. So I wrote Jim Snyder, and he replied with, "As far as I know, used grounds work the best, maybe you could go to Starbucks and ask them for their used grounds." Bummer! So I had an idea, I went to the dollar store, and bought a bag of normal coffee grounds, put a little bit in an empty jar, filled it half way with water and put it on my porch up against the stucco and waited.

This morning I went out to get the newspaper and what did I see........... A jar of DEAD COCKROACHES!!!!!!! It brought me such pleasure, I WON!!! So there you go ladies, you no longer have to scream for your husbands to kill it, just go buy a bag of coffee! I thought about posting a picture of the war zone, but its pretty gross. So now my only question is,
"What do I do with them now??????????"
