Um, how is removing the parking meters going to change anything?
Wouldn't it have been better to just fumigate them, to ensure no cockroach infestation comes from the tunnels?

Thus, on a weight-for-weight basis they are significantly more energetic than normal condensed explosives. Their reliance on atmospheric oxygen makes them unsuitable for use underwater, at high altitude or in adverse weather. However, they have significant advantages when deployed inside confined environments such as tunnels, caves, and bunkers.
Makes it really easy to find the other end as well...
While explosions are more satisfying, it would be a bit more disruptive to daily life... and overkill for cockroaches. Better to just quietly deal with the problem, IMHO.
Just pump the tunnels full of chlorine gas or anhydrous ammonia, maybe?Quote:
