It has now been a six  days since DD,s Thermothingy was picked up to go to Brisbane Overnight. She has heard not a word from her consultant, HO or the Technician.  When  mine went away a few weeks ago I was praising  HO for being  pro active with  keeping in touch .

Seems not all customers are treated equal.

Amazing but my DD got a phone call from the techie and here is the problem and the  quote.

The power board was shorted out by the cockroaches and that is the second most expensive part of the Thermothingy.

PROTECT your Thermothingy.

Those cockroaches are a real problem Gretchen.  I do hope someone is working with Vorwerk to alleviate this type of problem and I'd love to know how often this problem occurs in tropical climates.  2 in 1 family is a bit much though - will DD be prepared to pay that much, guess she has no alternative though and it is far cheaper than buying another one.

At least they gave you a quote and didn't just repair and send the bill. You get a lot of that today.

Yeah, I have covered it with bait dots and surrounded it by baits.

They got into a neighbours new supeduper expensive washing machine computerised board thingy and shorted it out. Good thing it was under warranty.

I don't know any way to protect it absolutely and have talked to several experts.  Pity there is no other critter that actually eats cockroaches.

I thought about building a moat but they still fly. If I put it into a sealed bag of some sort I would probably not use it as much but who knows. Any ideas?
