friendly warning about cockroaches and computers

This is a first in 5 years of escrap. I have seen cockroaches in restaurant equipment I scrapped, but never computers. I bought 2 laptops. They were filthy, looked like they were through a war zone. Well started doing my thing, testing, listing on ebay. I cracked one open and found dead cockroaches. I dont think I ever ran so fast and threw out the door under a tarp. I will clean up and list and sell on ebay, because they are indeed good. Even know the owner said they were bad, but they are not coming back in my house. They can go live in the shed till they are sold. I think this is the last time I will bring filthy laptops in my office/house,,,sheesh.

I got the heeby jeebys now...feel itchy...want to burn my clothes in diesel and take a shower in diesel. I decided not to post pics due to the graphic nature. Nothing alive thank god, but my skin is crawling.Warning to all. I thought I saw it all when I cracked a tower open, found a bag of pot, some shrooms, gold chains, cash, and a bowl. No, now definetly saw it all..LOL!.



Off to clean the office and take a shower...sheesh.

Well now that your all clean, an relaxed.

I'll take this time to remind everyone to be aware of bed bugs. You can worry over roaches..but it's the bed bugs you should be really worried over.

Keep that in mind next time you bring something into your living area. roaches can be delt with, bed bugs are major pain in the ass. An it's not a poor thing or a dirty thing. They can thrive anywhere, an just love to hide in dark places. This also includes electronics, furniture, clothing, etc.

So..late at night when you get an itch..remember..bed bugs bite.



This scary posting brought to you by the letters..B E D B U G S.

Best part? Their hard to see!

Have fun now everyone freaking out an doing the find waldo search..but bed bugs an not Waldo!

Sirscrapalot - Sleep tight!

Sirscrapalot how you doing my friend? My buddy confiscated that laptop I bought off of you and currently using LOL!. How dare you bring up bed bugs...they just fumigated a trailer here at the park for that. They were dressed in full hazmat, looking just like breaking bad, For a minute, thought they were running a meth lab. Talked to them and apperanlty were cleaning out the trailer full of bed bugs. They told me they dont travel house to house thank god. I was talking to the garbage men about all the trash from the bed bug house they just loaded. The dude started to itch unconciously and was about ready to strip in my driveway. So how dare you, you bring back nightmares..LMAO!!

Here in Tennessee you have to be careful of brown recluse spiders. They love to hang out in dirty storage rooms where a lot of customers keep their old computers and other electronics. Before anything is brought into my garage it gets a blast from the leaf blower. This is mainly for the dust inside PC's but it also takes care of most of the spiders. Not all but most.

When I first moved here from Florida and bought this property I thought the old guy who owned it must have been a trashey old guy then in a short time I learned that bugs and other nasty things are just dues for living here.

I was thinking the same thing, olddude. If he thinks a cockroach in a computer is bad, he had better never clean an old garage in Florida. We use the cockroaches to pull the wagon full of debris.

Metalbestos... What's up with posting the pic of the antelope hoof?

Hope he doesn't find crabs. Ozzy will be playing pocket pool while trying to scratch.

Bugs used to fly into the old tubes.
