(35,643 posts)I know that diatomaceous earth works on all kinds of pests so I checked to see if worked on roaches and find that it does. Buy yourself a bag--it's not expensive--and sprinkle it around the border of every room. Open up every cabinet and sprinkle around the edges there, too.
Soon you will find dehydrated roaches.
Diatomaceous earth is the one organic solution that is safe for you, safe for you pets, and deadly to the roaches.
Now personally, I would buy that device AsahinaKimi recommends. Less work. But if you don't want to do that for whatever reason, diatomaceous earth will do the trick.

There is no way to have a good night after that.

(7,875 posts)They were there when i moved in. They were gone by the time I left. But even after my reign of terror was over, every little smudge on the wall looked like a roach to me. Those little bastards get in your head.
