Buy some boric acid, add a little sugar, keep it dry (important) and spread it on areas where the roach will pass and on corners. The acid sticks on the skin if they don't eat it and once they hide the acid will burn their hides and pass on to their offspring. Repeat every 3 months.... or when it rains.

In 2 weeks you will see lots of roach skin and dead roaches... not a live roach in sight. ^_^

You can get rid of cockroaches or at least get their numbers way down to just an occasional visitor or two if you use the right control products and procedures.

Boric acid does not always do the trick, especially when the dust is applied in thick clumps all over the place. I can't tell you how many times I go into a house with Boric Acid everywhere, but roaches just having a ball inside cabinets, cereal boxes, etc.

It doesn't take much food at all for cockroaches to survive. The cleanest of homes can wind up with a bad infestation. Fact of the matter is that it takes very little food and water for roaches to survive. They even eat their own dead and feces when in a bind.

The best way to kill cockroaches is to use a roach bait containing Fipronil as the active ingredient. You place the gel in the corners of each cabinet and at the tops of door frames and/or hinges. Down low, away from the bait you can use a liquid spray containing permethrin and an Insect Growth Regulator such as Precor. You would basically spray this chemical mix along baseboard and along any cracks or crevices where roaches are likely to hide or travel.

Its very important never to spray anything around the roach bait. The bait is designed to attract the roaches. They eat the bait, take it back into the voids in which they spread it amongst the other roaches like a plague. If your infestation is bad you may need to treat again after about 3 weeks between each treatment.

For more information about cockroaches and their control you can take a look at my website's cockroach page that you can access from my profile.

Boric Acid is the number one cure for those nasty boogers. Also check under the sink(s) for leakage. If there is water leadking from your disposal or washer have those seals replaced and remove everything under the sinks and leave the doors of the cabinets open so the wood can dry.

Boric acid is very effective when used properly for killing cockroaches. You can also get a house lizard, they are natural enemies and will eat them.

in addition to the previous keep the place clean. Make sure you dont leave any food out, not even a couple crumbs, make sure you look behind and under appliances and stuff too.
