My house has many cockroaches and I am made ill by sprays. Regards, Blake Cook's Earwig Bait, sold at Dixieline Lumber. White box (about 9X12 size) with blue writing. It is like sawdust, sprinkle behind furniture, refrig (behind and under). It has no odor and is nontoxic to humans (I think) and they take it to the nest and they all DIE. Belly up, sometimes 60 at a time. We cleared our yard of them and house when we moved in there were huge ones at night four at a time. Ugh. (they live outside - big ones - in CA). No more.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Are they coming in form the outside? If so, Steve Tveden had suggested that you take duct tape turn it upside down and put it by the doors/opening. They get stuck on the tape, lift and toss. I took a screen put it around all the pipes under the sinks to prevent them from coming in that way. I haven't had any since.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Yes! Get " Combat " ! It's the best there is to get rid of roaches. No sprays, no foams......just little black plastic majiggers you put around the house. You can set them in cabinets, on the floors, next to pet food dishes and they work 100%! And best of all......harmless to you and your pets!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Combat is a poison anyway you look at it. I would never put anything like that near food, clothes etc. On Wed, 17 Nov 2004, Betsy wrote: > Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2004 22:15:45 -0600 > From: Betsy <westoo@...> > Reply- > > Subject: Re: [] Environmentally friendly cockroach removal. > > Yes!
