    We sometimes have this problem in a shower we rarely use. The water in the trap dries out and then we get "that smell". To keep the water from evaporating, we dribble a little bit of vegetable oil down the drain after the water. The oil forms a little slick on top of the water and it does not evaporate. Keeps the smell and roaches away.

    Love this thread by the way. Especially descriptive Drewbert

    Great thinking Alma Libre. I wonder two things:

    1. Is there a chance that the oil would ever harden and create a worse problem?

    2. You seem like a pretty clean guy. How come you don't shower often? LOL.

    The other good thing about putting vegetable oil there is that it prevents that little pool of water from becoming a mosquito breeding ground.

    Good to be back. Glad to be heading back to Cancun. Still trying to figure out when. Somewhere between end of June -first part of August.
