RE: I have a leak on my roof
No suggestion anyone on how to repair the open spots where the metal overlaps going verticle toward the top & center of the roof. They look like they are bent over to join w/ the other ones. I'll try to get some pics of it.

RE: I'm going nuts here
Does this work for both the ants & the waterbugs? Do they eat it & go away & die? I sometimes set out some sweet stuff & wake up the next morning to find hundreds of them all gathered around it & spray them w/ Clorox Cleanup. makes a big mess but gets a portion of them.
