Wow! All this about the UPR is crazy. I agree with you, Rey. They should "guide the guillotine" rather than just continue to refuse and refuse until the government decides for them. I am at the Recinto de Ciencias Medicas and I have heard ... Read More

Thanks again to all. Tonight I covered (what I hope to be) every possible crack/crevice/pipes with boric acid, as well as all along the floorboards, and also applied some Raid brand paste to "likely" areas as well. The reviews of both were ... Read More

Thank you very much to all for the replies. My classmate who lives a few blocks from me also started having them within the last week. Must be cockroach season?! $45/month sounds reasonable to me so I will have to fit this in my budget! (My brother ... Read More
