Instead of "dabs", use bottle caps. Mom called them "cupcakes". She
used strawberry jam, dust them on top with BA, with a little around
each cupcake for good measure. Roaches had to cross the BA to get to
the jam


I hate roaches.

Had the little *******s when I lived in George, Texas (not so little),
and South PRC (Peoples Republic of California). We used Roach
Proof (Boric Acid Powder) and Roach Motels. It worked.

Wish I'd know about the diatomaceous earth trick.



Hi Oren,

I had heard that the reason why roaches don't get immune
to boric acid power is that it doesn't poison them. It
dehydrates them.
