[Public-list] Pests - Low tech screening is one idea

[Tim Erwin]

Be careful with Bug Bombs in boats!!!!! An old sailing buddy of mine sailed an old wooden schooner from Key West to Australia. Early in his trip, I think St. Croix, in an effort to get rid of roaches, set two of them off. He didn't remember the pilot flame. The ensuing explosion was in the galley and blew a hole in the deck above the galley. No fire and it didn't sink the boat.

Harold is a master carpenter so he was able to fix the damage and get on with the adventure. Happy ending.

I just thought I would pass that along
