Best Cockroach killing methods?
Question:For me and my house we have tried spays, bombs, and other methods. Somewhere I heard sugar and coffee would be a deterrent, it does work. But if anyone else has any ideals please tell me, as they keep on having babies and some of them are just being born. Natural remedies only please since I have children and pets, Thanks.

The BEST thing I have ever used to get rid of roaches - and I have lived in some pretty infested apartments - has been powdered boric acid. It's cheap - it will not harm pets or children - AND - it works. Get it at the drug store. Sprinkle it in dark places, in the doorways, behind and between appliances, and anywhere else you might think a roach will hide during the day. Give it a couple of weeks - 30 days. They will be gone. Even if you live in an apartment - they may go next door but they will leave your place. This is a promise.
STOMP LADY STOMP!!

Go to any store that sells boric acid powder and put around base boards ,cracks,crevices etc.They will track it back to their nest where it will kill all those that come in contact,great for ants too.
I guess you will have to look for Diatomaceous Earth if you are looking for "natural" remedies. Google it or it can be found at feed stores.
