    SUMMARY:
    -Infestations usually start in the kitchen, especially in those dark hard-to-clean spaces behind and under cabinets and appliances.
    -Try tucking bay leaves or leaving a clump in those hard-to-clean places. This method may take a lot of bay leaves and patience, but it’s a nice natural way to send roaches packing.
    You can use garlic or onion powder, and sprinkle it in and around their favorite hangout spots.
    -The lemon juice will effectively repel these pests, and your kitchen will smell amazing too!
    -Just fill a medium-sized spray bottle with mostly vinegar, and add enough drops of peppermint essential oil so that you can smell it. Spray your kitchen and bathroom.
    -Neem oil keeps away a lot of insects and pests because it contains a certain chemical that’s poisonous to them.
    -Cockroaches and similar pests breathe through the pores of their shells and skin, so when they start crawling around in this soap, the borax will get the job done.
    -Put some fresh catnip leaves in a sachet - you know, those little sheer drawstring bags usually used for steeping tea - or other porous bag. Cockroaches can’t stand it.
    -Once you’ve put the traps together, place them in the spots where you think the roaches are coming from, like nice dark places for them to look for food and water.
    -The sweet sugary smell attracts roaches, so they eat the powder mixture. Once they take a drink of water, it reacts with the baking soda, and, well, let’s just say the roaches get a bad case of bubble guts.
    -Cut a sizable strip of duct tape off the roll, maybe about the length of your forearm. Put the strip sticky-side-up, and fold down each end so that it’s easy to pick up and dispose of later on. You’ll also need a bait.
    -The cockroaches will climb in to go after the bait, but they won’t be able to climb back up the slippery surface to escape.
    -Roaches are drawn to the smell of coffee too, so they’ll climb in after the grounds but won’t be able to get out since they’re not the greatest of swimmers.
    -If you try any of these natural remedies over time but it doesn’t seem to make a difference, then it’s probably high-time to call a professional!

      Keeping your house clean to ward off roaches is a myth. They will come in due to extremely hot weather or over abundance of rain. Also, what was not mentioned is that they like cardboard containers like cereal boxes, etc. what I do is after grocery shopping I take everything I can out of the boxes and put the products in air tight plastic containers. That also helps to keep mice from nibbling on your food stuff. Just my suggestions. They work for me.

    Sugar and borax mixture sprinkled everywhere is best. They love the sweets taste of the sugar and the borax dried out their exoskeleton. They also take back particles on their legs and body structures and causes their entire families to constantly feed and parish. They get crunchy after the mixture runs its coarse.

    Even the slightest grains of sugar on a countertop can attract roaches.
    Those aluminum door sweepers that are drilled onto the outside of the front door work great. They can't get through the bristles and go away.
    But unfortunately, many people live in apartment buildings where they clean, night and day but have surrounding neighbors who refuse to let exterminators in, so it's a big problem. And if it's a private house next door it's coming from.. forget it! you have to move.

      Did you fix your roach problem? I lived in apartments and delt with roaches for years until I tried Ortho for fire ants. It was amazing all my roaches were gone. You just put the power around the edges of your apt and areas where it's infected and they start dropping within that day. All my roaches were gone within a week and let me tell you we were infested bad. I wish I would of known about the product sooner...just trying to help others out.

    Personal note about borax: you can sprinkle that stuff all over (every room in your house on the floor) even with an infestation of roaches and fleas and it'll do the job. It takes a while but I was able to basically eliminate a bad infestation with just borax. Don't ask how long exactly, I think it was about a month before the fleas died off then a bit longer for the roaches.

    I had a roach problem not too long ago. They only live for a year or so, but they multiply very fast and before you know it they will form a colony in your home. Before exterminating them I studied them for a period of time. They are nocturnal, extremely photosensitive, once you turn on the lights they'll scatter immediately. I also saw them eat fresh onion and garlic. They can climb well, but steel, say a steel sink is a trap for them as it's too smooth. They like dark places to make their nest where they hide during the day such as in wall cabinets, behind and under furniture, drawers and similar dark confined places especially where human presence is scarce.

Confused and thinking what a strange nickname, I replied, "Sorry, I think you have the wrong number." Without missing a beat she then said, "All those roaches in your house and you won't let me talk to one?" Then she hung up without letting me reply.
