The worst kinds of pests

Cruix

Hey H/A, I've replied to a few things here but never made a post for help until now, so. It's summer in Florida, which means .. well .. like any other season in Florida, bugs. Usually I never have a problem with this. I keep a very clean apartment -- don't leave trash sitting around, clean up my dishes almost right after use.

Despite all of this, I am plagued with this new problem: Roaches. I'm going down to the office building tomorrow and I'm going to get them to come up and spray, but I'd really like any kind of additional advice on dealing with these suckers. I know all about how hard they are to get rid of once they do show up, and if I could wish for one thing it would be to never see these guys again.

I'm going to go out tomorrow after I go to the office and grab some things, but there are too many choices. RAID, bug traps, etc. etc. -- do you guys have any opinions on what will work best?

I want to kill them and I want them out of my apartment as soon as possible. It makes me feel unclean just knowing they're lurking. Thanks for your time, guys.

Boric acid. Just little trails of it in the corners of rooms and the like. Roaches bring it back to their nest, where it is eaten, then the roaches die.

edit: Useful website regarding the use of Boric acid.
