Water Bugs

[Rex]

I live in the barracks and regardless of how clean I keep my 12x16 cinderblock cell often referred to as my room water bugs still come out of the drain in the shower. Is there anything besides dousing the fuckers in Raid, and spraying it into the drain to keep them out?

I use those roach traps for large roaches -- the little black square plastic ones. Just make sure they say for "large roaches." Place them all over......

I'll pick some up tomorrow when I make my trip to Walmart. Not too many things make me herky jerky like waterbugs do.

one time a roach came out of my drain and before i left i poured 5 bottles of bleach/lysol/chlorox spot cleaner, AND sprayed raid in the drain untill i got bored.

i came back and my bathroom smelled like chemicals

I did get a sense of joy in watching them die from the spray. The incident that prompted this thread was I walked in the bathroom to get some toilet paper to clog my nose with because it bleeds when the weather changes drasticly. I open the door to see a big one and little one walking around like they own the place. It was like they knew I was the angel of death.

I go to get the bug spray and they run behind the little trashcan in there. I give a few sprays behind there to flush them out. The little one is undisciplined and falls for my ploy. I give it a few shots before the big one runs out to distract me. A valiant effort but was rewarded with its own death and the death of the little one.

I felt like the machine gunner in the helicopter in Full Metal Jacket.

"How do you know if they're VC?"
"If they run they're VC, if they stand still they're well disciplined VC."
"But how can you shoot women and children?"
"Easy. You just don't lead them so much."

I have to stop playing Conflict Vietnam.
