Hi, This is one good reason to live in a climate where you have cold weather
where I live in northern Minnesota I don't think a roach would come around..

Boric acid really works well. We sprinkled it around the edges of the walls,
under the sink, etc. They can be a real problem in some cities. My husband says
you can find it in a dollar store. It might be called Roach Powder or insect
powder, but make sure the main ingredient is boric acid. When we lived in
Florida we rented a house for a while and the walls had wormwood from the ship
they got it from. We only lived there until we got our own house six months
later and the problem really diminished. In Florida one has to be very careful
about crumbs, dirty dishes, etc., as they will attract things. When we lived in
Chattanooga I heard a welcome speech for all the teachers' wives and the
speaker called Chattanooga roach city.
