hmmm..let me tell u a desi totka that my mummy uses :)

mix an equal amount of AATA* and BORIC POWDER** and knead it into a paste with milk.

then stick very small portions (pea size) of this all over the place and it will solidify by itself.

its the best thing to get rid of cockroaches, lizards and mice :)

tried and tested :)

  • AATA = wheat flour ** BORIC POWDER = a powder u can get from any store, atleast in pakistan its easily avlbl

You can get boric powder from an american store as well. Try a grocery store or a pharmacy such as CVS or something. Simply sprinkling boric powder in cabinets in the corners and under the sink will help too if you don't want to go thru this whole procedure of using atta. Make sure obviously that kids don't come in contact with the powder though. Also, keep using the sprays and baits and that doesn't mean you spray it once and it'll be all good. No, you have to keep doing this for at least a couple of weeks to a month. Spray a lot in the kitchen, around the walls, in the cracks, etc. Spray at night before going to sleep, around the door areas as well. Spray anywhere you think cockroaches could go to or hide. And remember you have to do this continously and consistently.

I speak from experience. When we first moved into an apartment we used to live in, it was horrible. The people before us were extremely dirty people ugh. Cockroaches everywhere, and my dads first paycheck went towards buying countless sprays, baits, boric powder, etc. We didn't leave them alone, sprayed everyt night and anyplace we thought they could go. But Alhamdulilah, after a month or so the suckers were gone for good. Remember be consistent and they will be gone :)

errrm…aren’t roaches the first life signs after the nuclear blast? these snivelling suckers can adopt to almost anything :eek:

If there is one thing I hate its a friggin’ roach crawling close by, yes i have a phobia of these creepy crawlers.

Five years ago I invested in PestContro. Its a electronic gadget that plugs into any power outlet and . It produces an electromagnetic disturbance and an ultrasonic barrier, causing an irritating pulsation that drives pests out of your home
It works actually, havent spotted a single roach for ages. It will set you back bout a 100 bucks. Thats australian so i think it'll cost around half of that in US dollars. But its worth every cent. No need for sprays and traps and all that stuff.

this works :k::k:

Anchal, what you have mentioned...isnt it hazardous especially when you have children in the house?

10

not even close to what might be the dangers of sprays and stuff. No its not a hazard. It uses the electric wirings in the walls to creat this wall and emits this very very high pitched frequency which only the pests and bugs can hear. So its perfectly safe even around cats and dogs. If you have pet mice then thats a problem

We have quite a few in the bathroom at the rear end of the house. They're big. My maami uses bug spray and has the bathroom washed everyother day. It doesn't help much because none of us kids dare to step inside day or night.
