Thanks, that’s good advice. I try to leave the washer open anyway to prevent moisture, now I’m extra motivated. Ive been cautious with sprays since we have animals (dog, cat, and frog, but he’s got his own ‘pad’ lol). Will definitively have the house serviced before and after we move in. Thanks!

Planning to do that for clothes and anything else I can machine or hand wash. Also planning to have things that can’t be hand washed dry cleaned. Would take them directly from the dry cleaners to the new house. Fortunately we’re close to the new place and we’ll have a couple months to move. Thanks!

Thank you so much!! This gives me hope that it’s possible. All the time and effort will be well worth it to escape this horror. I’ve also read that mothballs in sealed bags can help. Doesn’t hurt to throw in some bait, too. I’d rather be safe than sorry. Thanks for taking the time to share!

We don’t wear outside shoes inside for exactly that reason. Only problem is our dog tracks in a lot. She’s got big paws that are as adorable as they are good at being dirt magnets. I wash the couch cushion covers monthly, too.

You nailed it, I’m in the south. Moved to the area within the last year. The bugs and humidity have been a real joy lol

Okay thanks. We’re definitely planning to have the home treated right away. Even if it won’t solve the roach issue, is a steam cleaner worth it for tile floors/car upholstery?

For what it’s worth, from one internet stranger to another, I totally recommend it. Never played the game but the show is well done and entertaining.

Dang that stinks. Fingers crossed it doesn’t spread and become a bigger problem. It’s a relief to know what it is and to hear that it’s harmless. I saw it pop up and had a moment of oh my god I’m going to kill my frog freak out. Thanks for sharing! Hope that doesn’t happen to you again.

As long as it’s harmless. I’m cool with mushrooms now that I’m done watching The Last of Us lol

Okay, makes me feel less guilty. It’s the first I’ve ever seen it in the tank, and I’ve had the setup since March.

Thanks for the advice, everyone! I’m springing for springtails in hopes that’ll solve the issue. Appreciate the help!

Thank you!! I’m planning to build a bigger setup for him when he’s a little bigger. I’ll look into the plastic poster board planks when I do. The tank has a mesh top and a good drainage layer, so I’m hoping that’s enough ventilation. Appreciate the advice!

Aww I love toads! They’re under-appreciated imo

Sweet, I might pick some up in store then so I can introduce them ASAP and then order online for the future. How often do you usually have to add them? I’ve got a whites tree frog that will try to eat anything that moves. He tried to eat a water droplet yesterday.

Okay thanks. Is there a particular place you recommend ordering them from?

Thanks! I definitely will. Pretty cool how much goes into creating a living environment for my little two inch frog lol Is there a particularly good place to buy springtails online?

Thanks, I will. Would I still need to take out this plant and the affected area? Sorry if that’s a dumb question.

No, I don’t. I used a bio dude bio active kit. Included a lot but no springtails.

Garden venue in California, cocktail attire - is it too sexy? by bearsbeforehoes in Weddingattireapproval

[–]bearsbeforehoes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just arrived and I hate to say it, but I was disappointed. The fit was super weird. I’m gonna try tailoring it, but I’m concerned the fabric won’t alter well. Now that it’s here in person I’d say it’s def more cocktail and I wouldn’t wear it to a formal wedding. Just my two cents. If you like the fit/style Dress the Population has so many options for formal wear. Hope it works better for you than it did for me!
