  • Obviously you need to keep things clean and food put away, but the less obvious thing is that you need to eliminate their access to water. That alone will almost resolve the problem. They can’t live without water. 2 weeks without access and they’ll all die, or migrate away. So fix any leaks, don’t leave water dishes out, and dry your sinks and shower after use. Create an inhospitable environment and they stop using it as a home. Of course none of this matters at all if you live in an apartment and they’re coming over through the walls from the neighbor’s house.












  • I have never seen an opt-out work as it should. Operating systems just re-enable everything through system updates. Apps do it through app updates. A lot of updates seem like they’re for nothing other than getting you to agree to a new more intrusive ToS. For websites, spam lists, and that sort of shit, they just create a new mailer program and opt you into that. Sure, they’re not sending you the one you opted out of, but there are 500 more on the back burner. Some of the worst offenders will have dozens or even hundreds of different lists and force you to opt out of each one individually. Then of course there are the spammers who just don’t even capture the opt out. Or put the opt out behind a login that you don’t even have. Or serve the opt out page through an ad-click network which is blocked by your filter list, firewall, ad blocker, or DNS. There are a hundred ways they circumvent the laws and legislators are doing nothing to stop them.
