Ack! A roach!!

boric acid comes in a powder. you can pick it up at home depot. you can lay a line as a perimeter. the roaches dont die on contact, but they will take it back to their nests and share it with the other roaches. i use it at my house. its good stuff. just dont puff the dust too close to your tank and you are set


not sure about the safety of boric acid around tanks.. but it works as a microscopic abrasive... causing millions of teeny tiny cuts and abrasions on the bugs it touches... thus dehydrating them and killing them.
 
Yeah, my mom knew a guy who used to put lines of acid around his house, what he used was strong enough that it burnt their legs off though. Of course my mom went to his house one day and discovered that there was an entire wall covered in them and that the wall wasn't brown it was white. Talk about nasty.

Cailfornia,warm beautiful weather, nasty roaches problems.

And the flying ones from Florida are migrating here via Texas -- aaiiee! :eek3:
Well, after vacuuming that one up, I emptied everything from the stand's cabinet and scoured around it: no signs of any more. Maybe this guy was a scout, but I doubt the army is far behind.

I hates roaches. :angryfire:

Tomorrow I'm getting some boric acid. I can lay it along the carpet edges and the window sill.

This is war.
