It happens to all of us,you wake up at night turn on the light and a roach scampers across the floor. You want to get rid of the roaches without hurting you,the children and pets? Try this simple recipe for a roach dough. I found this recipe years ago in a book called Tight Wad GazetteII By:Amy Dacyczyn

on 4/25/2008 I tried another good roach exterminator, too, that I heard of, based on the same idea as what you made with the dough. You take equal parts of baking soda and powdered sugar and mix them thoroughly. Then burp the roaches with a flyswatter. I had a few walk right up to me, then die. It's quite dramatic, though not as good as the dough, which actually draws them to it, maybe because of the onion smell. Do roaches have noses? It's a mystery... Thanks again for an excellent article/recipe.

on 4/2/2008 I hope the dough works for you. It has worked for me with an ocasional roach or waterbug.

on 4/2/2008 I love this idea! Recently, our neighbors in the apartment house moved out, and the apartment manager got the exterminator and all the roaches that didn't get exterminated came over to our place. My hair is standing on end as we speak! I am making a huge batch of Leanne's Patent Roach Dough a.s.a.p! Thank you! I'll give you a progress report.
