Perhaps even invert the bag. That would either work or melt the bag, depending upon its quality.<BR/><BR/>Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>Grammy Heloise (Carolyn)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-72125429427867446322009-02-13T07:50:00.000-06:002009-02-13T07:50:00.000-06:00Oops!

I remember the cockroaches in Houston. *shiver* Our countertops were a dark faux-granite and every time I would wipe down the corners there would be bug poop on the washcloth. I get the chills just thinking about it, I feel your pain. And talk about the icing on the cake with having ants in the diapers!

The thing that works the best for us is these black round things with poison in them that have a cover on top. They also have them for ants. They crawl in take the food back to the colony and then all die. The cockroaches die because they poop out the poison and then the other cockroaches eat it. We used the ant ones at our house in Idaho. You can just leave them in the cupboards and on the counters so you don't have to worry about the babies chewing on them. <BR/><BR/>Andrew also loves baby powder. He covers his body in it after every shower. Our floor is also always covered with a thin layer of baby powder.Kimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830714532368205706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-44558988641807053882009-02-12T16:03:00.000-06:002009-02-12T16:03:00.000-06:00OH, I'm having flashbacks when we lived in Hawaii....OH, I'm having flashbacks when we lived in Hawaii. Ants in your diaper bag reminded me of when I found them in my, at the time, baby's bed, drinking from a pool of her saliva. I was calling those stupid ants every bad word that I could think of. <BR/><BR/>Yes, maybe just pay for the exterminator. Ant traps work too--you just have to put them where the kids can't get them (and do it at night when they're not awake). We stuck them outside the window ledges (very hard to do with screens and in apartments). I taped some up high in the corners by the windows and back in the corners of the kitchen countertops, behind something so that Cash can't see them. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with those ants. Sheesh--you should get some kind of award for what you went through that day!SuburbiaMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407487328564873575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-50534667178819275652009-02-12T15:02:00.000-06:002009-02-12T15:02:00.000-06:00I think you could buy yourself a new diaper bag af...I think you could buy yourself a new diaper bag after that.

I was thinking you could be one of the writers! :) In our last apt we had ants, and I left the diaper bag on the floor. Same thing. Only I didn't go anywhere with it. The husband grabbed a baggy full of chocolate covered donuts out of it, and began to eat them. Only to find them squirming in his mouth! Gross huh? And no, I don't typically have such yummy snacks. Hope you have a better day today!Julie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07612265475461696818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-85096778775960426722009-02-12T09:30:00.000-06:002009-02-12T09:30:00.000-06:00Oh Jen...your life should be a sitcom.

I have lived in humidity and that is the ONLY WAY to really get on top of the problem. I know that one worries about spray with babies BUT it is either BUGS or SPRAY. I went with spray. With the bugs, I felt the only way to get them out of my life was to strip naked and run leaving everything behind.<BR/>Not an option. Get an exterminator ASAP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
