Even in apartments that had been treated against cockroaches, these unwanted guests still appear. If you spray them, you a flailing body in your bathroom or wherever for a few hours, and you have to get rid of it somehow. Such an experience can ruin your whole evening, especially if you're a single lady with sensitive nerves. My suggestion is to have a 24-hours service that will appear within 20 minutes, be given the location ("under the sink") and remove the nuisance from your life. If possible - even this evening, before I have to do it myself.

Something seems just well, right, about having this appear in the 'Health: Toothbrush' section.

(well, it used to be, anyways...)

"911, What's your emergency?"

"There's this.... this creepy thing.... it's like a monster..... living underneath my sink..."

"Calm down, ma'am. Is there a newspaper handy?"

"Uh, no."

"Do you own a lizard?"

"Are you kidding? I can hardly stand bugs, do you think I'd want a lizard? Please send someone... it's got so many legs... EWWW! It's crawling towards me!!!"

"Okay, we'll send someone right over."

"Unit 47, we have a 712 in progress at 12345 Baker Street."

"This is Unit 47, responding." "Got another roach call, Bob. Get the lizard."
