Get rid of nasty bugs the easy way! Get it now!
Technology has improved far beyond bait, sticky traps and even compressed air. First a word of caution: If the roaches infesting the home are German Roaches, a thorough cleaning with a hepa-filtered vacuum is a MUST. Roaches, through their feces, dried saliva and crushed body parts (that will turn to powder) cause or complicate many breathing problems.
If you can afford a Rainbow vacuum or you can borrow one, DO IT! It uses water to scrub the dirt, dust and roach poo out of the intake before the clean air is pushed out. They're more than $1500 last time I checked, but they are the best.
Back on subject - Technology has improved in the last few years. New roach sprays have been invented that have zero odor, zero VISIBLE residue and have a very low toxicity to mammals, including people. Since these new products are for sale and may only legally be used by licensed pest control professionals, hire one.
It could be you have Turkestan or Oriental roaches and only really need the outside ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
