Hi, Put the Boric Acid in the back of your cupboards where your cats can't get to it. Roaches have been around for million of years and will be here long after we are gone. I hate them too. When I lived i n San Francisco I had an on going battle with them. I was afraid when I moved out of the city

Hi Marlene, When Digby is in his safe place, is he sleeping or just sitting there, not really there?  Is he drinking anything on his own?  One thing for sure, YOU need a good night's sleep.  As much as you can anyway, so you can think more clearly.  If you read what I wrote to Jamie, it applies her
