Front loading or top loading washing machine?

Why do you need to clean under it?

I have no clue how to respond to this. Lol. I like things clean I suppose? Also ours is in connecting passage between bedrooms and kitchen/bath. It's an open type space which is cleaned regularly. And when you have a old open like house, you know big arse windows open almost the whole day, well, you get dust.

My machine is in the bathroom and there is nothing under there. Other than some dust which you don't get much of in a bathroom anyway.

Bathroom imo is one of the most practical places for a WM. Unfortunately I don't want to replace it as it will involve some plubming and sh!te.

Rats and other things like cockroach don't bother me that much. I mean I am obsessed with these things. So a rat enters our house (happened two days ago ironically), and it exists dead the next day. A typical hygiene obsessive here but no matter what lizards I cannot control.

That rat was dead on arrival. Man, they are not building rats like they used to.

Dont keep open any windows from the garden side so that rats climb the pipes and enter the kitchen. This is what happened in my house. Rats in my house if seen my wife immediately kills it. Coackroaches arent there here in TN where I live but in Hyderabad where ever we used to shift we used to call pest control.

But there is a huge problem of lizards in my house. There are I think about 20 lizards in my house even though my wife kills them as she sees the. They are producing in a great rate.
I dont know what to use either to kill them or reduce their numbers in the house.

But frogs here are many as do snakes as we live in a rural environment but in a township. We didnt have any snake problem until now but frogs comes through the washbasin holes & commode holes by through them and emerge and these frogs jump super height with having wide webbed feet not like the normal frogs we see but all are green in colour and small like the size of a 1Rupee coin.
So when ever we see or find them sitting on top of the basins and commodes we catch them and release them in our gardens.

I tell my wife to similarly catch the lizards and throw them away in the garden but she doesnt listen.

There is traditional wisdom that keeping peacock feathers in the home scares away the lizards. I could never test it because lizards didn't visit consistently anywhere I lived. Anyone here tried that? Does it work?

Nothing works other than blocking their entry and exit.
