Weird stuff you do that you think others do not...

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

We've recently discovered that the odourless version of Shieldtox kills them in their tracks and makes the others rethink their naughty ways for an hour or two, but the odourous version just pushes their party buttons and makes them more determined. Others tell me I should lay down barriers of talcum powder, but I think it would send the wrong message to put lines of white powder that long all the way around the apartment block. They'd only parachute in anyway. Bastards.

You've got to follow the line of ants and see where they are coming from and going to, and spray it in their holes.

A little tricky, but doable. (You may need a magnifying glass).

Hey the best way to fuck ants up is by leaving food particles lying around which weigh 51 times their own weight.

This doesn't work because they break it down and 50 ants carry each piece.

I know this because sometimes I sit and watch the ants carry things up the bathroom wall. One time I watched for at least an hour while they dissected a huge dead cockroach and hauled it up the wall. A bit like watching some ETs with superhuman strength building the pyramids.

Anyway, it was more interesting than whatever was on TV that night. :popcorn:

works miracles.
these are ALL things you are warned NOT TO DO when using acid drain cleaner. TOILET, NO! hot water NO, and plunger. Yer wanting someone to have an acid hot water reactions spattering up outta the toilet as they bend over it with a plunger? Jesus. I THOUGHT you was a nice guy.
