After living here in Fatick for a little over six months I have come to accept the fact that I will have a few "house guests" on occasion. Armed with Yotox, I can take care of all the roaches without too much trouble. I have had some lizards living with me which haven't alarmed me too much because I know they eat insects. However, when one decided to move into my bedroom and take up residence behind my dresser, I wasn't too thrilled. To make matters worse, it would decide to "chirp" early in the morning and wake me up. I would then have to cover my head with a pillow if I wanted to be able to go back to sleep. I did everything I could to convince it to move to another room but it wouldn't listen. Several weeks ago I discovered I had another visitor. This time it was a rat. I used some rat glue spread out on a cardboard to catch it which was a great relief. Then, a few weeks later I saw another one run across the floor. I bought me a rat glue trap from the store this time and finally caught it. I was glad to know that those things really worked! I haven't seen any more rats but I still left a trap out just in case. Yesterday morning I awoke to find a roach stuck to my trap. After returning from our trip to the beach last night I discovered I had caught a lizard on my glue trap (I guess it was trying to eat the roach). I was a little sorry about that since it eats bugs but there wasn't anything I could do about it. This morning when I was not awakened by the usual chirping I decided I wasn't so sorry I caught that lizard. After getting up I discovered I had caught another rat on my glue trap. While he was stuck, he enjoyed eating half the lizard. Since I'm not too fond of these kinds of varmints I used a rake to push the cardboard trap out my front door. When my teammates showed up for "church" at my house I was able to get one of them to dispose of it for me. I think I will be buying me a large supply of those glue traps the next time I go to the store!
