Very true. We spent a few years sailing around cockroach infested places and the cardinal rule was NEVER to take a cardboard box on board - if necessary decant your Shreddies on the pontoon!BENIDORM wrote: I did mention on an earlier posting about the cockroach problem, that it is not a good idea to keep old cardboard boxes in your home, particularly ex supermarket food boxes
The reason is that they like to lay their eggs on the boxes because the little offspring like eating the glue that holds the boxes together.
It gives them a good start in life and some rally nasty problems for the Shreddies eaters!
