55 year old house that is cleaned every day. I have roach traps (they don't work) and I've used moth balls and cedar wood to try to repel them. . .these worked for a while, but they keep coming back every 4 months or so.
I've read online that roaches are very adaptive, so even if moth balls repel them for a while, their bodies adapt and later on it will lose its effect.
Professional roach treatment is an option, but costs a few hundred dollars. Anyone know of any known/proven techniques for DIY roach combat with these speedy, annoying, and un-killable (at least not permanently) pests???
I saw one so big the other night (like the size of 3 U.S. quarter coins) that I had trouble sleeping (worried it'd crawl all over me...I got grossed out)!
