Saw a fucking huge one wiggle its way across the living room floor last night. Hate, hate, hate them! My poor old man thought someone had broken in and was stabbing me to death! He found me standing on the sofa, cos those bastards are vicious attack predators (my story and I'm sticking too it) but at least they can't jump.Original Post Deleted
Humongous mutant silverfish are the reason we have Biokill, primed and ready on top of the fridge. I don't want to hunting under the sink looking for the stuff when life and limb are in immediate and live-threatening danger.
To the OP (who had a problem with fleas, not roaches), you should definitely get your landlord to deal with this as it doesn't sound normal at all. Let us know how you got on.
And to the poster who said "just get a man", did it give you kicks to be so cruel and insensitive to a crying, homesick single girl?
back in the states, a friend of mine saw a cockroach near his hand while sleeping. he just smashed it with his hand and went back to sleep.
but seriously though, talk to the landlord or something. or if money is not an issue, call a pest control of some sort. not sure spraying chemicals all over is good for your health.
and it will take a while to get used to hong kong with such a huge culture shock. i couldn't stop crying (no tears) when i first here and i am a dude.
This 'chick' has parachuted, flown a plane, a hang glider and a helicopter, re-built a car engine, crossed Checkpoint Charlie, supped magic mushroom soup at the old Stonehenge (free) Festival, and ridden with Hells Angels (actually a charity run but this sounds better ) amongst other things.
It takes A LOT to scare me. But silverfish!?!?!?!? Fuck no!
Sorry to hear that. I used to live in WanChai with a lazy Chinese boy. I've seen at least three different kinds of bugs at my apartment in that year. My roomie put his pizza boxes under his desk. And a few months later I had to clean those creepy bugs while my roomie was totally freaked out. LOL!
Anyway good luck! It happens in Hong Kong. =)
