We live in an apartment, and our refrigerator broke, so the complex gave us a new one that seems to have a roach nest inside the back of it, what is the best way to get rid of them? We keep a clean house, so I don't want to hear that I need to clean my house because that is not the case.

I am so sorry- I've been there and it is awful. Try using boric acid in one of those little baby snot bulb things. Mix a little powdered sugar with it. Squirt the dry powder into the crevices of everything- that should help. it is toxic for pets, so you need to keep it away from where they can get to it.

You need to go to the bug store, not the hardware but the pest control store. You should get some Maxforce FC which is a gel and place it in droplet form around the refrig, cabinets, chairs, table and inside the side of drawers and do so thru out the entire home. replace bait or rebait the following week. This will get rid of the roach infestation. Also you can vacuume the roaches with the attachment pieace.

Hello:
Buy some boric acid. You can get it at store that has a pharmacy. Its a white powder, so sprinkle a line of it all the way round the frig. It will kill the roaches. You might want to go ahead and put some under the sink too.

You need to isolate them and just kill them all at once because if you spray them little by little, they will become immune to the roach spray.
You should not do it alone. I would suggest making a big ring around the fridge with liquid soap (maybe more than one ring) or something like that. So, if you and the others don't kill them in time, the roaches will get stuck in it when they're trying to get away.

The best way I'm afraid is to get rid of the fridge. You can try opening the back and spraying Roach-Pruf (Borax) into all of the areas you can reach. But I'm afraid these things live even through a nuclear attack so,.....good luck!

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
