I moved into the house I live in about 3 1/2years ago and when we moved in I noticed some dead roaches under the sink and you can tell the people who lived here before me had a problem with them, because there was some brown sticky stuff on some corners in my kitchen cupboards, my husband said that is stuff to kill roaches, I was worried but I didn't have a problem with roached until now, they have been popping up everywhere, I don't know if it's because it's summer time or what, but I have tried some chinese chalk...it might be boric acid, don't know, I also tried boric acid powder, we even fogged the house, and had to leave for a couple hrs. and wash everything afterward and nothing, it seems like there's more! I had boxed my dishes to spray in the cupboards and the tape I used to seal them up had some roaches stuck to them. so my husband and I had an idea to put some tape sticky side up to see if we would catch some and it works there were lots of those suckers stuck to it. so basically every night I lay tape out and see if there is some stuck to it. It's a pain in the butt to do every night but it works better than the boric acid powder, that stuff killed a couple but brought out more it seems. it sucks cause I don't know how long I am going to have to do this. I see more roaches in different spots now other than the kitchen like in my dressers....gross!! I don't know how to get rid of them for good!! I could move but chance me taking some with me and infest my new place....no way!!
