LOL...ewwww poor you!! I must admit, the cockies are about the only thing I DONT miss about living in Brissy....

Lived in one rental where they were so bad at first that I would, at night, walk to the kitchen door and before stepping onto the lino turn on the light and just watch them all scurry back to their hiding places....they were revolting!!!

You should check with your landlord or agent....our landlord when I lived up there actually paid to spray the house for us???

Might do that Soapy - not toooo worried yet, we had a couple in April when we moved in, then nothing till one now. The landlord here is pretty good so I think he'll get the place done if necessary (better than the last guy - think he WAS a cockroach - certainly looked rather like one :D )
And Bix - if I catch them on my newly serviced broom, there'll be trouble :rolleyes:
