To get rid of roaches......

Misc.


Hi, Connie--

I hate them, too. Here in Florida the roaches thrive on the heat and humidity--and judging by our weather lately, this should be a record year. When I moved here I was appalled those nasty critters.

You're right--boric acid really works. We buy it in a powder form called Roach-Pruf (there are other brands also). It lasts for up to six months. They say the reason it works is because all they have to do is walk through it--not ingest it. When we run out, I'll try mixing your way. Thanks!
