stayed on 2nd floor before.. ants? no prob, the black pepper helps... BUT there was an incident whereby one of the units on the higher floor (duh!) did reno and the irresponsible contractor had things thrown into the pipes... the pipes choke and our whole unit flooded!!!! its a sunday nite, frantically called town council, they came hours later to open the pipe from first floor and out came cloth and debris.. worst still, the pipe downstairs is directly below our kitchen window.. our flat stinks, outside our flat also stinks! we shifting to 7th floor soon..
