Well, I finally got the suckers (roachs) under control.
(No, this is not the "drug testing" topic.)  I haven't
been able to find Roach Prufe, but with my can of industrial
strength Raid in hand I sprayed heavily around the seams
in the doors and windows, and laid a pool of the stuff
across the window sills.  (I have no kids or pets.  I
wouldn't do this otherwise.)  I had finally come to the
conclusion about a week ago that the roaches were coming
from apartment next door, when I pulled everything out of
each room in turn and put poison everywhere and packed things
in Raid-sprayed boxes and the little brown guys were back
in a week.  Now I sweep the dead bodies off the sills and
doorjams every other day and reapply the poison.  I've won!
(I think.)

Still want to try Roach Prufe if I can find it.  Raid smells
terrible.

companies somewhere.)
