PSA for people with cockroach problems: Diatomaceous earth is a lifesaver! Non toxic, (also a good fertilizer for the garden) and keeps working until it gets wet.

What is it? fossils of diatoms in a chalky-powder what do you do with it? Sprinkle (dusting) into hard to reach areas (think behind & under kitchen equipment, drawers, along baseboards)

what it does is sticks to anything with an exoskeleton & dehydrates them..they die.

we live in a humid, costal town where they are endemic and we have ZERO of these motherfuckers in our shop & home
