Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Diatomaceous earth is a non toxic roach killer. The earth gets in their lungs and kills them.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hiya Tamika, Try Diatomaceous Earth. It slices the exoskeleton and the roaches die. It's totally natrual and non-toxic, though it can be irritating to lungs should your pets breathe it. We use it for ants. The cats take care of any roaches... -Raine Tamika Ramon Polk wrote: We have had a bad roach problem,and don't know how to handle it.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Boric acid. Do a search with the words " roaches " " boric " and " acid " . You'll get lots of references. As I understand it, it's safe for kids and (I think) pets.
