that's not a ferret, that's a small otter!
 
[Could be ... was a rescue ferret so maybe was really a rescue otter!  BIG]

borax works (also against roaches), but might not be fuzzysafe.

too bad that doesn't work with mosquitoes and gnats!  i swear, when you
kill them, they release a pheromone that makes you and your home more
attractive to the other ones...
 
speaking of which, anyone got any cure for gnats?  i can't get rid of 'em.
they thrive on fertpoop, but even when i change the fertpoop daily so they
can't lay eggs and hatch in it, they still find a way to stick around...
