Y'know, since Katrina, there has been a decrease in roaches, at least that I've seen, and the rats seem to prefer the ungutted houses and uncut grass, which there is plenty of these days. There is an over-abundance of big black crickets, though.

They, and many other organisms, were displaced by the flood, too. Of course, the rats have increased exponentially, because of abandoned food stuffs and the like.

i'm completely for action, i might want to be better right into a candidate that worked on the homes, yet I even ought to communicate about that spending some hours engaged on a house to make your self look strong and performance a outstanding photo op isn't unavoidably that much better noble that a speech. If Edwards had spent a huge bite of time rebuilding New orleans, THEN that could want to talk louder than words. yet engaged on a house for an afternoon is an similar as a speech-- lip service with out authentic dedication. back, no longer protecting obama, extremely, i might want to respect a candidate who went into the 9th ward better than one which spoke to the personal college babies. notwithstanding, i understand Obama has finished community organizing and lived in south chicago (no longer the "strong" aspect of the city average, notwithstanding he's probable in a outstanding community). so as that's a level in his favor for action.

because there was an increase of stagnant water, which increased a population of incects that the cricket feeds upon. Just wait, the next plague is yet to come...frogs. It's part of a natural cycle, once things actually get cleaned up, the incect and frog and thus snake populations should normalize.

anj may be right about the local NOLA conditions, but we've been seeing them a lot up here in Virginia too lately. Maybe it's a climate shift thing.
How's the roach population doing? Are they still the dominant species there? (I'm from NOLA originally.)

the flooding decreased human activity in the area, which allows other creatures to flourish. at the moment it's crickets, if things continue, it'll be something else. only time will tell.
