As a woman that has had six children, I can attest to the fact that pregnancy in itself is a stressful time and my husband did not ever have me take care of things that would have caused me problems. I am sorry for your wife and I feel that no one should put a pregnant woman through this kind of thing. Think about her and do not put her in situations that could potentially cause her a big problem!

I'd like to suggest a plugin I've written for inclusion in your next list though - it's called the Wapple Architect Mobile Plugin for WordPress and it mobilizes your blog. It makes sure your blog works on every single device, from a WML phone to a brand new swanky phone with XHTML. Images are dynamically resized and you get the option to really customize your blog any way you want. In addition, you can upload mobile logos and style your site so the mobile version matches the website and you retain your brand identity. If you fancy giving it a go, the URL is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wapple-architect/ - it'd be great to hear some feedback! If you need any help setting it up or would like any assistance enhancing your mobile blog, get in touch over at http://mobilewebjunkie.com and I'll do my best to lend a hand!

The brand shouldn't make much difference (unless they mix in some other ingredients.) Carole, An RV is tricky because it's hard to seal up all the cracks and crevices to keep them from moving around. There is also a chance they could be inside the insulation in the walls which makes it even trickier. My first recommendation is to do your absolute best to go through the entire RV and seal every crack and gap you find with silicone caulk. Start with the kitchen and bathroom and then work your way around. Seal the insides of the cabinets and along the ceiling and floor edges. Next, make a mixture of 2 tablespoons tobasco sauce and 1 quart of water. Put it in a spray bottle and mist it over the counter top an cook surfaces every night. The roaches don't like the pepper in the spray and avoid the surfaces. This just reduces the chance of seeing them in the kitchen and gives a little peace of mind. Finally, place glue traps all around the RV along the walls. This will help you discover where they are coming in and how they are moving around. I really hope this helps you in your situation. Please let me know if you make any progress. The Go-To Guy! Jeff,

We live in a RV full time and are haveing a BIG Roach Problem. We just Bombed,we didnt really what to, but just didnt know what else to do. But I dont think it really did anything,(we will know when we get up for that midnight snack). We do not want to use chemicals. We are going to try all the non-toxic way's. Ceder etc... What about those out side lockers? How would we kill those nasty bugs in there? I know alot of them are coming from those places. Please HELP!! Carole Baxter Andrew,

Glue traps are just as effective and you don't need to do any maintenance on them - just throw them out when they are full (they're very cheap.) When I did my research I found many solutions that would work from a technical standpoint, but were not workable practically. The Go-To Guy! Peter,

You should google it, it is non toxic and supposedly works really good. What you do is get a glass jar and fill it with used coffee grounds after you brew some coffee and then put it inside the jar along with water so they will drown. Put the glass tilted near a wall or where ever they can crawl into. Once they fall in, they can't climb out because the glass is very slippery. Hey have you heard of the Las Vegas roach trap?

I just killed a huge ant with wings on it. At first we just had black ants and we sprayed all around the house inside and out and now I have this big ant that looks like a bee but I went on line and looked up the pictures to make sure that is what it was. Sure enough that is what it is. So I am wondering if this would be a great product for carpet ants. Scared out of my mind.
