Like Grimmy said, Boric Acid is the solution to the problem. There is also some expensive stuff called Roach-Pruf. The main ingredient is Boric Acid. I think you have to buy it at the drugstore, but maybe Walmart has it. Mrs. Geezer and I grew up in Vegas, lived there 50 years.

(as I speak for Vienna). Let´s face the facts. These animals are superior to human beings in question of survival and conquering areas. All the punctual actions won´t solve this problem, whole blocks have to be filled with deadly gas just to postpone the problem - it can´t be solved at all. The only thing I can think of is biological warfare in form of bug eating creatures, which are nightactive. So you have to estimate, what problem is more severe for you. Bugs or bug-defeating animals, crawling both all around and shitting your flat full.

They'll still be alive and kicking long after we've gone. Don’t you worry ’bout them roaches. They’ll still be alive and kicking long after we’ve gone.

If you actually do move, rent in a free standing, 2 or 3 family, owner occupied, house. It will change your life. No more cockroaches.

those are juniper berries. The British use them to make gin, the Germans to make sauerkraut. I think that says enough about both cultures…

Smear it on the walls, counter tops, sprinkel it on the carpets, use a spoon to "flick" a dusting of it under refrigerator and stove, dont forget under sinks and such too. You dont need to have it down in visible amounts. Just enough that it will collect on their feet. They'll track it back to their nests. It'll dry up their egg piles, and eat up their legs. Best part is, it wont hurt you. Boric Acid Powder.
