HOW can I get rid of cockroaches without using poison?
Question:BESIDES stepping on them. Something tried and IT WORKS...Organic methods, or something homemade perhaps
Answers:
Try a jar trap... spread some petroleum jelly around the inside edges of the jar, place a small piece of smelly food in there and voila, you have a safe, non-poisonous trap. The roaches will not be able to escape because of the jelly.
You could ask them to leave.
Try using a shotgun.
Move and leave everything behind!
" A Shotgun is organic."
Use poison. You don't want them to come back EVER. Nothing to fool around with. They will overrun your home.
I don't think there is any thing. Most times the poison doesn't even work. Cockroaches are very hard to get rid of. I wouldn't have any mercy on them, they carry lots of germs and diseases. If you are worried about poison because of children, I would rent a hotel room some weekend and have an exerminator come to the house and take care of the issue. Ask them how long you need to be out of the house until it's safe to go back in (i.e 24 - 48 hours).
Good luck on finding a organic method.

I know you don't want to but poison may be the best option you have right now. Theirs more of them then humans in the world probably and they WILL survive nuclear attacks. If you don't get them they will only reproduce and come back in numbers.
there's an inyection with a brown cream that bug killers use. You put it in every place you think there might be a nest and other places around the house as well. when the cockroach takes the poisioning cream, it will go with it to the nest and kill everybody there. I've done it and it works it kills all of them. use it and give it like 2 weeks and there will be no more .
You can buy those sticky glue traps that you use for mice that are peanutbutter scented, or they have sticky glue traps on the market specially designed for roaches. Another natural alternative to get Immediate Relief from cockroaches inside the house buy 8 oz bottle of Using Natural Castile Peppermint Lavender, or any other natural soap. Go to your local drug store and buy 1 oz of Citronella oil, Pennyroyal oil, Cinnamon oil or any other type of Essential oil like rose oil or tea tree oil. Mix the two together and label it cockroach control spray. Add 5 tablespoons per quart water. Add to sprayer and spray inside house where cockroaches are seen. spray around the outside of the house. Should be done as often as needed. This is not a long term solution but will provide you immediate help. Spray or wipe kitchen counters with this mixture is fine except I would use less inside, say 1 tablespoon per quart water is fine, stronger if you have a real bad problem. A separate label for inside is also available. The essential oil increases the effectiveness of the soap. Keeping the cockroaches away longer. Spray any areas they are seen in. If you are having a really bad cockroach problem, try using any natural dog shampoo instead that has pyrethrum. I also like using a natural shampoo with natural oils that are very effective against cockroaches
Well ... we use cats they are the toy you can eat. My son has a salamander that we feed them to also. She thinks they are crunch yet chewy very gourmet.
something totally organic its called cleaning up.
i can just picture your fat **** chowin down popcorn handfuls at a time and kernels of corn flyin all over the place. behind the couch under the chairs and you never even bother to clean up and guess what happens then? the roaches come to chow down on when the lights go out..youre a sick sick person !!
Mix some baking soda with sugar, put it in a saucer and hide it somewhere like behind the fridge.
Apparently cockroaches have no way of getting rid of access gas and so they explode a while after consuming the mix!
