Now I know the cynics amongst you will say "well you must have a dirty house", which may or may not be true, as we have pets, ducks and fish ponds and live in a village community with filth all around us.
Firstly the bats, which I can see scream out from under the eaves of my front porch when I am on my 2nd chang as dusk approaches. Don't bats do a good job in some way or another ?
Secondly the rats which do disturb me as they are regularly caught by my cat, who proudly brings them in the house half eaten. This morning we found a litter of newly born rats the size of my thumbnail behind the gas bottle in the bathroom, yikes.
I promptly dumped them in the catfish pond. I don't eat catfish. The dogs got the mother.
Finally the fukkin disgusting cockroaches who I always seem to catch having a party in the middle of the night in the kitchen, they are just too fast to catch.
These are just three examples of how these buggers can slither through the smallest of gaps. There are many others.
I found a fukkin snake in a saucepan under the sink the other day.
Mai ben rai just doesn't cut it anymore.
