More Cockroaches
Dear Aunt Daisy, I hope I am in time with this ~before the Links use much Paris Green, for as you gave warning, it is POISON. This is a much safer method to use, and it has proved successful for us. The cockroaches were in a linen cupboard and it was very unpleasant to have to go and use anything from it. A friend of ours told us to take all the linen out, put a piece of paper in, then sprinkle some meal--any porridge meal will do-and then on top of the meal sprinkle borax. We have no idea where the pests went to, but can say we have never seen a * sign of them from that day to this. I hope this will help someone. $ Just Another Link, Hawera: Many thanks, indeed.
