Summary: new roach exterminator



I recently read in Newsweek (May 19 issue) about a new roach killer.
Not really killer, I suppose an eliminator or exterminator.  I don't know
whether it's on the market yet.  It is not a poison, but rather is a hormone.
It works by sterilizing the buggers before they are old enough to reproduce.
If you have moral qualms about killing bugs, this might be for you.
They say, in the laboratory, no roach has ever become immune to this drug.
Anyway, it is not a poison.  It's like putting all your pests on the "pill".
