We have been dealing with these little bugs since we moved to Texas 5 years ago. I had never before in my life seen cockroaches. When we moved down here it was a fast trip and well we rented from the cheapest person we could find. What a mistake! Well we ended up buying a house from him(a mistake for more then one reason) and I have battle these little cockroach *&^%$!#@! ever since. I've used sprays and bombs, powders and gels. Nothing takes them away! Of course I don't think it helps that every wall we pull down is infested with nests that have obviously been there for a LONG LONG time. Well I have been looking for ways without using chemicals to help me handle these little pests. My answer is sticky mouse traps! I know it seems strange but recently I discovered that roaches really love my onions. I can no longer store them outside of the fridge at all. So I took a small onion and cut it into pieces and places a small piece in the middle of each trap. This is what I got!
Yep that is just ONE NIGHT! Keep in mind I have 4 of these down all of them have at least this many trapped. I normally don't kill that many in one day so that means not only am I not using chemicals but I am killing more :O) Ok so I probably have lost some of my readers gagging right now.lol I'll admit it is gross but hopefully this will be a tool to help finally rid this house of roaches and maybe it can help just one other person do the same. At $2 for a 4 pack I have no issues continuing to replace these every week.

When you spray just one area, they will move to another area that you have not sprayed. Cover or put in bags everything that you want to keep from the poison. My husband has done some extermination in his time. Sometimes you have to bomb two to three times because there will be eggs that will hatch at a later time.
Remember, Hon, this is war! Victory is just a bug bomb away.
