I was told the northern part of the island is worse. Is it riskier in apartment buildings or houses? I have yet to run into my apartment manager to inquire.

Power surges

I was speaking to someone at work today and they stated that the lightening storms are very bad here and that he always unplugs all of his expensive electrical equipment every time it storms. I asked if he used surge protectors with fuses and he said it would not matter. Anyone have any intelligent ...

Thank you all for your replies. I am just trying to educate myself on the little guys. I can live with them, I just wanted to make sure the poo was not harmful. SMS's logic makes complete sense. I am used to mouse poo carrying hantavirus, so I figured I would do some research..........

egg shells

I am thinking about that, my only worry is that they will attract other pests. I assume you crack the egg, make the omlet, perhaps rinse the shell, but leave that clear skin in there, let it dry and then crunch it up? I will give it a whirl. Does that mean the geckos inside will not leave because th...

Voltage converters

Hello, I did some research on the forum before posting this, but could not find info on the following: Do those of you who use voltage converters to convert from 110V to 220V leave these on all of the time or just switch them on when you need them? My work loaned us four 2000W units for free. We fig...

Short stints on CV

I agree with the previous replies. Gaps and short stints on the CV are big red flags. Is the location of your new position that bad that it is worth alienation? You can always visit Singapore!!!
