dar512 dar512 is now Pete Zicato Join Date: May 2003 Location: Chicago suburb Posts: 4,968	I lived in some pretty low-rent places while going to college. All of them had roach problems when I moved in - and didn't when I moved out. I was working at Sears part-time and got this advice from an old-timer. Boric Acid and sugar. Both are powder. Mix some together and put some behind the fridge on a piece of cardboard or something. Pull out the bottom drawers of your cabinets and put some on the floor underneath. These are places your kids can't get to but the roaches will. I've never tried this on southern roaches, but it has worked everywhere I've tried it. __________________ "Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain." -- Friedrich Schiller
