Try roach traps. At least you're not spraying or sprinkling poison around.#4: Susan Eberhardt (susaneber) on Jul 6, 2020
I've heard of people who got a lizard of some sort--gecko or anole, who would live under the fridge and rid an apartment of roaches. There should be more to the story: if it manages to get rid of all the roaches, what does it eat then? My daughter had anoles as pets and had to buy them live crickets.#5: marjorie rex (Mamo) on Jul 6, 2020
I'd go for the poison.
I'm with Philip, boric acid.#6: Nancy Anthony (nancya) on Jul 6, 2020
Not sure and also can't spell it but diatomaceous earth might work.
They are very hard to get rid of. They have been found to survive a nuclear blast even. When I lived in the desert, I had to have monthly pest control. I don't like the poison, but I hated even more to have a roach fly in the back door or appear on the ceiling over my bed just when you want to hit the hay.#7: Beep (Boop) on Jul 6, 2020
Flamethrowers work well, but insurance companies frown on them. Borax in liquid drops if fairly easy to use safely, but it has to be in a formula the roaches are gonna want to eat.#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 6, 2020
Ewww! Good luck getting rid of them. Let us know if the Borax works. Great puzzle, btw. But, ewwww!#9: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 6, 2020
I don't know how widely available Bengal Roach Spray is (it's made in Baton Rouge, LA), but it's safe to walk in the area once the spray has dried. Just spray a line along bases of walls/doors, around the hot water heater (and any other water supply), and around windows or other spots that may have roach-sized gaps. Super effective, with very little smell or mess.#10: Joanne Firla (JoFirla) on Jul 6, 2020 [SPOILER]

They also make those flat glue traps that bugs can walk over and get stuck. They work really well.#12: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jul 6, 2020 [SPOILER]

Great ugly image. The honestly best way to get rid of them is to hire a professional service.#14: besmirched tea (Besmirched Tea) on Jul 6, 2020 [SPOILER]

Thanks everyone. The diatomaceous earth and/or boric acid sounds like the way to go. First I must establish a line in the sand. I DO NOT want them to move into the house.#17: Ga Hendrick (GaHendrick) on Jul 7, 2020 [SPOILER]
