Put up some glue traps, get your hair stuck in them, hate life.
(Is this what you intended? Never heard of inverted thinking before)
- Leave more fruit, or any kind of food in general out to discourage them
- Let dirty dishes pile up and remain a fixture in your sinks or kitchen surfaces. Dont do dishes in general
- reserve the wine and dishsoap and cling wrap and wine glass for your own personal and selfish consumption, those products are for humans, not friggin insects
- dont ever clean the kitchen and surfaces or disinfect anything ever. There's no cleaning in "the wild", its unnatural
insurance claim was closed and needs to be refiled
- Don't check to make sure you have the most recent application paperwork, find some random old copy in a hurry therby giving yourself another clear and avoidable additional fuckup to have to redo and correct
- definitley dont use the same fax number and process used for past successful claims. Lets mix it up, variety is the spice of success for rigid monolithic processes that basically never change
