subjcet: Roaches
sent nov 97

Boric acid works also: You sprinkle this odorless, white powder (a bit like fine sugar) where roaches might crawl in cupboards, cracks, - gets on the legs of roaches as they crawl around - they like to clean themselves and lick it off there legs - they get extremely thirsty - go for water usually outside - take on so much water as to drowned - don't have the facility to vomit it up like higher life forms - nice of them to die outside - keeps the house clean. :)   

Boric acid is safe for pets, animals, and kids.  Boric acid in low percentages is used in eye washes.  I have used it quite effectively for perhaps 20 years to control roaches.  You can have an infested place and after putting some of this around watch the population decline to nothing after 1-3 months.  "Thrifty drug" store has this and chemical supply houses.  The stuff is not expensive.  I have even bought it at the local 99 cent store.  Sometimes it's hard to find.  Just to be safe, I usually put it beside, and behind things so that my pets can't get into it.
