Just curious: if Roach Prufe is just boric acid, what are the two
patents for?  The shape of the can?

I dislike roaches enough to want to spend the extra money.  So Roach
Prufe costs triple what plain boric acid does?  If it works ANY better,
it still costs under $10 a can, for a lifetime supply (if you never
move), why not splurge?

PS: I haven't seen a roach in over four years.
