my neighbor is infested with these disgusting pests and she does very little to even try and get them under control. i am sure they are migrating from her home to other homes. i just want them gone from my environment. why dont they all stay at her place since she does nothing much to eradicate them?

i'll agree on boric-acid around the perimeter but for in house try the gel called combat-it's a huge seringe-looking bomb (it's the stuff in the mini-hotels )
had a bunch in my place after i moved in put the stuff all over and they were gone or dead in less than a week ! give the neighbor one or two and have her put it on as well !!
jus-kiddin!
safe for pets so long as they can't lick the stuff!
it works cause they eat and then distribute to the nest therefore poisening the bunch and it's a chain reaction cause the next eat the dead so-on and so on --! very-effective!

Try lizards, like geckos. Hawaiian people let them live freely in the house to eradicate pests like cockroaches. They even consider them to be good luck. They will do a real number on cockroaches.

There is only one way to "get rid" of cockroaches. Have extermination done a minimum of monthly forever once you have them. Call Orkin, not some home remedy. If I had that situation with my neighbor I would start exterminating my house before they came inside cuz they will every time your neighbor exterminates.

Seal ALL food, garbage and anything else edible, including cerial boxes and dog food. Thuroughly clean your house. vacuum multiple times to get small pieces of food from your carpet. If they have nothing to eat they won't stick around long. But one little piece of food will keep em comin back. ALso you can use bleach mixed with water to line the perimter of every room, but if you have pets I'm not sure it's a good idea. be carefull not tot mess up the color of a carpet if it runs along a wall to.

Boric acid, it is very effective when used properly for killing
cockroaches and most other insects.
You can also get a house lizard, they are natural enemies and will eat them. More information at http://tinyurl.com/ofxkk

combat worked when i bought a trailer that had many. I killed all them suckers. Then you have to deal with the stinch the leave of dead carcus. We eventually tore down the trailer and built a brick home.

use what extirminators use!
the mix plaster of paris powder with custard powder!
the roaches love the smell of custard eat it and the dry inside and die due to the swelling of the plaster!
My exterminator told me how to do it and it works!
50%-50% mix

Call the health department, they will get rid of them, but when they bomb, they will all run your way! So be prepared!
