How can I get rid of cockroaches without endangering pets?
Question:Recently, our home has been invaded by cockroaches. Hundreds of them, hiding everywhere and in everything. We need to get rid of them (obviously), but we have pets and we have not wanted to use poisons or harmful materials.
Is there a safe way to rid a home of cockroaches that won't endanger animals?
Is there a natural way? Is there ANY way?
We purchased an ultrasonic roach chaster but we're not sure it's helping (and we're not so sure it won't bother the animaals). Thank you for any advice
Answers:
You can use those roach bombs. The ones that you have to seal up the house and set them off. They will not affect pets or larger animals
Try using baits that you can put out of reach of your pets, like under the fridge and under the stove, in the back of cabinets, etc. I don't think the ultrasonics hurt dogs and cats but I'm not sure about other types of pets. You should be able to search the web for hearing frequency ranges of your pets and compare it to the frequency range emitted by your device.
I have also read the a Gecko will eat the roaches if you set it free in the house and don't give it it's normal meal of crickets. I don't know how your other pets will handle the lizard though.
BORIC ACID{POWDERED} THAT YOU CAN BUY AT THE HARDWARE STORE, THAT WOULD HELP TREMENDOUSLY, BUT IF THERE ARE TOO MANY, YU ARE GOING TO KEEP PUTTING THE POWDER ON, FOR A WHILE, TILL THEY ALL GO.
Try to cut off there food and water supply, be sure and clean your kitchen real well and before you go to bed at nigt be sure there is no standing water on your counters. Dry the sink, they can not live without any water.
