Shells, find out what eats those skeevey fuckers and make it a pet.. now!
When I was living down on Gold St. in manhattan we had battallions of roaches, thousands of them. Puke. Bought a Tokay Gekko (named George, sorry George) and bingo! Roaches were damn near gone. George lived under the fridge all day where it was warm and dark and became the Roach SS at night.
