You should be able to find it at a hardware or livestock feed store. It takes a while for it to work but it will kill them off. Plus it is safe. Some people use it to cut down on foot oder also.

Borax won´t kill any cockroaches, You need to dust or spray commercial insecticide formulated for crawling insects, such as DIAZION,FENITROTHION OR BENDOCARB. Making sure you follow the instructions carefully. To deter the cockroaches, keep your kitchen as free as possible from moisture and damp. Do not leave any food uncovered or in paper bags (use metal, china, glass or plastic containers. Wrap all waste before disposal and block cracks where the insect may hide. Keep working surfaces, shelves and floors immaculate. Repair leaky Plumbing, wring out and dry dish-clothes, sponges and tea towels after use. Seal openings around pipes and cabinets with silicone rubber sealant. Clean frequently under and behind low furniture appliances. If your kitchen does become infested, remove food, cooking and eating utensils, and all shelf linings. Dust or spray wall openings , under low equipment and suspected hiding places. Hope this helps you

We used to live in an apartment when we first got married that was horribly roach infested. The exterminator couldn't kill them because the neighbors were nasty. When we moved, we moved into a house and they moved with us,bazillions of them. We were told by a car salesmen to use Bengal roach spray, and we did. The stuff was amazing. You spray it around the walls. They will start coming out of the walls, dieing before your very eyes. It absolutely worked and for good. The last time I noticed they carried it at Kmart. If you try it, I'm gettin' 10 points!

borax can be found in the laundry soap additives isle where you find clorox 2 etc ask the grocer when you get there if you cant find it.

Check the soap isles. Otherwise a .22 is a guaranteed killer.

whatever you find you have to make sure you dont live in a close neighborhood or a apt. complex. or it wont do any good cause the neighbors has to get rid of therse or they will come to your house. do the outside of your place also and stop them from coming in. they come from alot of things, dirty things sitting around, trash, rubber boots, alot of rotted wood, just find where their at mostley and put the stuff around it

i recommend a licensed pest control technician they know what to do and you wont have to worry about it.after buying everything you think is going to work and it still doesn't most of the time it cost more than calling a pest control company.there treatments are safer than the store bought stuff because they know were to apply the products.

No the best thing to do is get this gel stuff they sale at the grocery store. It is a dark brown gel that will get rid of them instantly.
