Relative to the de-roaching with boric acid, there have
been several postings establishing that this method
works better than any commercial bug-killer you can
find anywhere.  I just wish I knew this when we lived
in Texas...would have been able to save many dollars.

If you have the "roach" problem...try the boric acid.
The netters have all agreed that it really works as
the boric acid prevents the roaches from absorbing
moisture through their shells.  The b.a. acts like
water-proofing and consequently the darned things
die.
