I eventually got them out of my house by sprinkling the floor with borax and vacuuming, putting a candle in soapy water and placing it on the floor after lighting (yea, it actually works) and washing everything.  

Friggin motivated sellers that see total logic that their dog died in their yard suddenly has a monetary value and want 200K MORE for their house and no matter how much actual functional logic you use with numbers and Bernoulli's equations, graphs, charts, sprinkled with the 3rd law of thermodynamics,.. they just do not get it.

I'd prefer an old one with good bones to one built last week out of glued together sawdust, nearly identical to it's neighbor.

I mix it and sprinkle in to all their pathways, behind cabinets (even drill into inconspicuous places to insert it, then caulk up the hole).

I've had good luck just wetting down the whole area and then sprinkling Comet or Ajax -- anything that contains bleach -- on the grout lines.

Heck I ask for more not less commission.NAR is more of a residential focused entity with a little commercial sprinkled in.

It's a quiet neighborhood with older modest single family homes, with duplexes sprinkled in.I'd be happy to get together and chat sometime.

Here we have the added dimension of *real* winter and the challenge of adequately insulating and air sealing these old buildings which typically had no insulation and, at best, may have had 1-3" of sawdust for insulation in the attic.

I keep a small bowl of water next to me all the time for this reason and just dip my fingers in it and sprinkle onto the cabinet.

This is relevant - gotta post it here...My ex told me there was a sign in the ladies room at work which read:"If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie: wipe the seatie."
