My old Granny used to mix plaster of paris and icing sugar, she said it set hard in thier bellies, if you can't **** ,you die. She believed it anyway.tugger said:Borax and icing sugar.
They can't get enough of it.
I have never tried that with cockroaches but your Granny was correct. Plaster of Paris mixed with bait is extremely effective rodent control especially for rats. I really don’t like rats but would only use it as a last resort as it’s cruel. Cockroaches probably won’t appreciate it either.Batz said:My old Granny used to mix plaster of paris and icing sugar, she said it set hard in thier bellies, if you can't **** ,you die.

Funny we use it 'food grade' in our brewing. OK back in a minute. :blink:

There are many species of cockroach throughout the world....the german cockroach is a prolific breeder and is extremely hard to control.pcmfisher said:German cockroaches?
I dont ever recall saying I had a major infestation...dicko said:Then just phone your local licenced pest manager and have the problem fixed before the infestation causes you and your family major health concerns

Whatever Dicko....whatever....dicko said:Maybe not yet anyway.......
Anyway I am now off to wire up a STC 1000 I should be OK with the chinese instruction sheet that came with the controller and then I might install a 15 amp power point in my shed....that can't be too hard, ****, after all there is only 3 wires going to it and they have different colours....too easy.
By the end of the day I will have saved a **** load of money by DIY rather than getting a licenced tradesperson.
Except for the cockroach eradication...cause after all YOU said that they have to be licences...so no money saving there old boy B)dicko said:By the end of the day I will have saved a **** load of money by DIY rather than getting a licenced tradesperson.

dicko said:The products that you buy in the hardware / supermarket have, at times, the same active ingredient that is in the chemical that Licenced Pest Managers have available.
The only concern is that because they are selling this product to Non Licenced People then the amount of the active ingredient is reduced dramatically in the product and therefor goes to cause the insect to gain further resistance to the active ingredient.
The ratio of the active ingredient is reduced so that the general public in most cases will not harm themselves.....unfortunately this practice is non productive to the pest management industry.

Don't know whether its licenced.
That very thought came to my mind as well.wide eyed and legless said:I have a strange feeling this thread will go nowhere, we won't find out whether the cockroaches were exterminated or not, I don't think I can take the not knowing again.
Oddly enough I put out some carb soda and icing sugar mix....wide eyed and legless said:I have a strange feeling this thread will go nowhere, we won't find out whether the cockroaches were exterminated or not, I don't think I can take the not knowing again.
