Dear list,

Does anyone have an environmentally friendly and effective cockroach

removal idea? My house has many cockroaches and I am made ill by sprays.

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.

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.

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!

Combat is a poison anyway you look at it. I would never put anything like

that near food, clothes etc.

Blake,

You can use Borax soap detergent. I've used this for years in my

carpeting as a deodorizer and also it kills the cockroaches, fleas

and their eggs. I have never had any problems with these little

buggers since I have been using this. You can also spread a little

bit in your cabinets and other places they may run. If you use it in

your carpeting, I normally use it pretty heavily then taking a grass

rake to get it into the carpeting itself. Leave the excess sit for a

couple of days and then vaccum. My wife is chemically sensitive and

has never had a reaction to this. Veterinarians have also mentioned

the use of borax in local papers.

Hope this helps,

KC

Dear list,

Does anyone have an environmentally friendly and effective cockroach

removal idea? My house has many cockroaches and I am made ill by sprays.

I once treated a beauty shop in a luxery apartment building for

cockroaches..

I installed an ultrasonic transmitter and within a week they had all vacated

and moved elswewhere.. Also for years the owner had been speading powered

boric acid along the edges of the rooms and that was killing them but enough

of them returned to startle the patrons sitting under dryers and at

operating stations.. The ultrasonic proved an answer to ridding the

premises..

I use a small plug in unit to rid the second floor of a house of silver

fish.
