My baby sitter has a problem with cockroaches, she has tried everything to get rid of them and nothing works. She hired an exterminator for over a year, she has bombed her house, she has bought hundreds maybe even thousands of dollars on stuff to get rid of them and its doesn't work. She has even tried that boric acid borax or whatever its called. Please help we don't know what to do, they are nasty.

A mixture of malathion and syrup, painted on the inside, of not, the drawer, but the inside of where the drawer goes in the cabinet. this way none of the children or animals can get to it, you can do this all over the house, just pull the drawers out and using a paint brush, just paint the line where the drawer goes or underneath it, then slip the drawer back in, we did this at my mothers house where it was over run with roaches, haven't seen any in 17 years.
I've had little success with many of the home remedies of roach control. But I found I talked to someone who claimed he knew how to get rid of cockroaches for good, and he told me some of the best results he'd seen were from simply trimming back the foliage surrounding his house.
I read through all the ideas here on Thrifty Fun. I am a single mom, so money is tight. I decided to try baking soda. I bought 5 of the large boxes. I started with the kitchen and then the rest of the house. I am happy to say the roaches are down by 80% and they are dying all over the place. I did not use any type of sugar with it.
