Our cats found them to be great sport. We never found the other halves, but we avoided kissing our cats on the lips for at least a week therafter.

Or it is a total mystery what has killed them? Do you occasionally fumigate, like on a schedule, or just wait until there seems to be a bigger problem than usual? Do you see them running around in the daytime, or usually just at night? As you can see, I haven't yet lived in a tropical location. I'm still a bit horrified by roaches. Snakes? No problem. But cockroaches are a whole other story. Uck. Some questions:
