Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 My Ex-mother-in-law used to get roaches from nearby farms etc. She would put boric acid and sugar in an old mayonaise jar lid and put it under the fridge where the pets and kids couldn't get to it. The roaches are attracted to the sugar get it and the boric acid on their bodies and take it back to the nests where the babies feed off the mixture on the adult bodies. It kills the babies too. No sprays or other chemicals in the house and is effective. When I was in Chicago this worked better than the quarterly sprayings we were subject to.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Diatomaceous earth takes care of just about any bug. You can get it at gardening supply stores. Don't use the kind processed for use in swimming pools. Joy , " Jose " <hlnhnz wrote: > > Here's one for you all,,,neighbor lady said she spotted 3 cockroaches > in her living room.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Great for getting rid of fleas as well. just be very careful when you spread it, as it is very fine, and if it gets in your lungs, it's very abrasive, and you will be coughing for days (didn't I learn THAT the hard way!). Just wear a mask or bandanna over your nose and mouth and you should be fine. It's best when spread around the baseboard areas, as well as the areas of highest concentration of the pests.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 a size 12 shoe works great but you have to clean up after boric acid is supposed to work, roaches are destined to inherite the planet. Never vacume them up it stinks. --- Jose <hlnhnz wrote: > Here's one for you all,,,neighbor lady said she > spotted 3 cockroaches > in her living room. Had her back door wide open all > day.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Bay leaves keep the roaches away. Put some in all your cupboards and soon you will be roachfree.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 That never worked for me, for cereal moths either, but maybe the bay leaves were too old or irradiated.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 You can try putting out bowls of wine. They are attracted to the smell. They'll fall in and drown. Or you could try sprinkiling sweet & low or sugar substitute. This kills ants. Might kill roaches too.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 For the roaches, Put sugar and boric acid in a container, I use the containers that milk comes in and cut a hole near the middle of it, fill it half way to the hole. Put these containers in cabinets especially under sinks, behind the stove, behind the washer and up high on shelves in closets and even in the trap door in the ceiling. Did this five years ago and have not seen a roach since. They climb in to eat the sugar and track it back to nests on their feet. They like damp , moist areas for water. the containers are easy to dispose of and new ones can be made to make sure that get rid of them.

You know, there have always been rip off artists out there. My grandfather, who would be around 120 now, told me once that when he was a young man he sent for a " guaranteed roach killer " out of a magazine. He only paid a couple dollars for it, but back then that was a lot. He said that when he got the package it was two blocks of wood with the instructions " put roach on one block, flatten with the other block " .
