Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Obviously you need to keep things clean and food put away, but the less obvious thing is that you need to eliminate their access to water. That alone will almost resolve the problem. They can't live without water. 2 weeks without access and they'll all die, or migrate away. So fix any leaks, don't leave water dishes out, and dry your sinks and shower after use. Create an inhospitable environment and they stop using it as a home. Of course none of this matters at all if you live in an apartment and they're coming over through the walls from the neighbor's house.
