    Gotta cockroach problem? Just lay out a 1/2 inch line of diatomaceous earth around the problem area. The roaches get into it and shred themselves because it is abrasive under their exoskeleton. They also take it home ith them!!

    Yup, and a professional exterminator. They're pretty much gone now that I had the skylights removed but I'd like to keep them that way ;)

    You could try jumping up and down on them while screaming " shut up", "shut up"?
