Does your roadway have road lice? Are you tired of the measly pest that won't get off the road or into the gutter, if you just shoo it?
Road lice can indeed be a nuisance, hurting your perceived convenience and sense of the ownership of the road.
But not to worry!
You can build a nifty little trap to make the road lice self destruct. Just install a little box at the front of the queue and tell the lice there's good things in it. Then just watch the witless pest get crushed. If you're real handy, you can fool the louse spokesman to encourage the lice get crushed by teliing that it's not their fault and that they should continue to do it cause it's a pro-louse thing.
True that many of the lice will escape the trap, but really it's enough for them to see their peers get crushed and they will learn to stay away from your roadway.
