In Reply to: OT--Roaches!!!! posted by Jiles on August 31, 2011 at 08:04:06:
Many years ago I bought a house that had roaches because the people apparently sold health foods of some sort when they had it, and roaches. Didn't know about or see any until they moved, and then was like something out of a horror movie, but thankfully before I moved in...or else I would have hunted those people down, and be in prison for the rest of my lfe right now. Before touching anything, after discovering a roach, which means millions of them, was that I went and purchased bug bombs and set one off in every room. MAKE SURE THE GAS IS TURNED OFF TO THE HOUSE AND NO PILOT LIGHTS TO IGNITE THE VAPOR FROM THE BUG BOMBS...I saw a ladies house leveled in an explosion when she did the same thing that I did, but didn't turn off the gas, so either water heater of stove pilot, and KABOOM, leveled the house. Good idea to cut the power for the four hours too, so refridge doesn't startup and somehow ignite the vapor.
After I bombed the house overnight and went back the next day, dead roaches in every room, basement and first floor. Were everywhere, but got the living ones then.
NOW HERE'S YOUR LONG TERM PROBLEM that I learned from an extermnator. He said the bombs got all of the live roaches, which they did, but roach eggs incubate for like a month, and are coated with a waxy substance that poisons and stuff don't penetrate. But, from the second roaches hatch, they start eating, so you have to coat the eggs. You will find the eggs in cracks, for instance, around cupboards, wall trim, bottoms of drawers around the edges, and that goes for furnature as well, to include dresser drawers. There is a reason that they survived but the dinosaurs did not. You can bomb like I did, but be sure to TURN GAS OFF, EXTINGUISHING PILOT LIGHTS FIRST, but then have an exterminator come in and hit the places that hide those eggs, and after a month, or month and a half before any that live can lay eggs, bomb again. Maybe an exterminator will sell you something. They used to have industrial sized bombs of something called Pyrethian, or something like that.
I bought a bedroom set from someone that had roaches. Took them from their house to the exterminator, and he doused them right there. Pulled the drawers out, flipped them, showed me the eggs around the edges. Were grayish, as I recall. Then I stored the furnature in a shed for a couple of months, doused again with Dursban, when it was legally sold.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
