You can sprinkle Borax around your home and get rid of just about any bug including roaches. My Aunt bought an apartment house and found roaches when they were cleaning, used Borax and they were gone in less then a week.
Great stuff. I've used it to get rid of fleas by sprinkling Borax on the carpeting leaving it for about 30 minutes then vacuuming. Works great and the fleas don't come back.<object type="cosymantecnisbfw" cotype="cs" id="SILOBFWOBJECTID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;"></object>
