So I have killed one or two in the bathroom and three in the hall outside it, I sprayed around and stuff and spread some borax around. But last night I woke up to find one on my chest, just chilling there. It didn't even phase him when I brushed him off and got up. It did when I knocked him to the floor and crushed him. I have no food to eat around there and don't leave things wet. I never saw one in the kitchen either. Anyone have something that works well and won't kill the dog? Its an American roach, the big ones.

Seal up the places in the walls where your water pipes and sewer pipes penetrate. Under sinks, at the bathtub, etc. That's where the big American roaches like to come inside. They like to travel in around moisture. Luckily for you, American roaches aren't too bad as far as infesting homes like the German ones. |

Every one you see, there are 50 more you don't. Watch Verminators on Monday nights, Discovery Channel. I don't think borax does much, maybe boric acid for ants, dunno about Nazee Cockroaches. If its that bad, can a pro, but they may try to make you sign a service contract for 12 mos. Or check your yellow pages for a Do It Yourself Pest Control, get the real stuff for killing them and keeping them away. |
We all know how bad the Germans can be about infesting...

I keep it pretty dark, but i usually find them at night or when I come into a dark room. Only the big American ones. Its a house, and I take out the garbage to the garage into the big bin until trash day, we don't have city trash so it only comes once a week. But I never saw on in the garage either. |
