Gross Pet? Giant Burrowing Cockroaches – Crawly and family

admin — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 22:46:54 +0000

People still watch the video I made over a year ago showing our pet cockroach Crawly. And people often ask if I still have her and how she is. Well, here is the long overdue return of Crawly, and she's brought along her offspring.

It was a pretty big surprise when the baby cockroaches appeared. We had already had Crawly for over six months so either they gestate eggs for a long time or they are the sort of animal that can suspend the development of their young until the time is right.

Or it was a virgin birth. OMG I have the cockroach messiah in my house. I shouldn't have sprayed those bugs at the door, they were clearly the three wise cockroaches bringing gifts.

And for those who always insist on saying this isn't the biggest breed of cockroach (they always go on with some about the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach)

Cockroach Controlled Mobile Robot

admin — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 01:45:50 +0000

By Garnet Hertz (2005) "Cockroach Controlled Mobile Robot" is an experimental mechanism that uses a living Madagascan hissing cockroach atop a modified trackball to control a three-wheeled robot. If the cockroach moves left, the robot moves left. Infrared sensors also provide navigation feedback to the cockroach, striving to create a pseudo-intelligent system with the cockroach as the CPU.

The freaks come out at night, and so do the cockroaches -– and lots of other pests. More than half of U.S. homes used insecticides to get rid of the buggers. But did you know those sprays can harm human health, pet health, and the environment? Umbra shows you how to kill the buzzing -- without being a planetary buzzkill.

Rats, Mice And Unicorns – Call The Pest Control Experts

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 19:17:12 +0000

Everyone has pests in their home at one time or another in their lives. Some are easier to get rid of than others. Calling in a specialist pest control company generally means you are more likely to find a long-term solution than just spraying a bit of insecticide yourself.

Ants are a plague in many homes. Finding the nest and pouring boiling water onto it may be very satisfying, but it won't get rid of more than a few thousands of the millions of ants in the nest.

Wasps nests can be dealt with easily if they are in the ground. It is simple enough to watch where the wasps are going into the soil. Then you just buy a puffer bottle of powder from the hardware store, squirt it around the nest entrance and the wasps carry it in. What if the nest is up a tree, or under the roof of the house. Do you really want to be up a ladder being stung by thousands of angry wasps? Forget it and call in the professionals.

Mice often come indoors in the fall, when it gets cold outside. The first sign that you have mice may be rustlings under the furniture as the mice build their nest from scraps of paper you drop. If you wait, matters will only become worse, packets gnawed and small black mouse droppings in your kitchen. Mouse-traps may work, but are you expert enough with a mousetrap that you are not going to set it off and break your finger. Do you really want to remove a mouse with a bloody broken neck from a trap before breakfast?

Rats are a fact of life if you live in the country. You can sit outside at night with a rifle, or you can find someone who will rid you of the infestation by putting down poison on a regular basis. If you shoot one rat, another one will move in to take its place, so while shooting them may be satisfying and good target practice it does not get rid of the problem permanently.

Pest control companies are very discreet and can be hired over the Internet, so your neighbours needn't know you have unwelcome visitors. After all it's not the kind of thing anyone likes to advertise. They will even lead away any stray unicorns.
