My dad used to live in an apartment infested with roaches. He'd lure them out of their hiding places by cooking food and then torch them with a spray can and a lighter.
Alternatives include a ManPADS, sticky traps, lots of poison, etc. Consult an exterminator if they're really bad though.
>>30601795
Perfect.

Your dad sounds like one cool firebat, I think the spray can fire will work for those roaches who roams in the open, but I need something to get their nests...

House Centipedes
Capture a bunch of them (in individual jars cus they fight each other) and release them into your house. They surplus-kill cockroaches and get in all the cracks and crevices you can't get to. They reproduce much slower than roaches so they'll be easier to manage once the roaches are gone.
>>30602020
Because fighting pests with other pests always works and never ends up making everything worse.
Just use some C4 anon. Place it where you think the fuckers are at. Even if you're wrong, chances are when you level the house you'll kill them anyways.

Kurds or Armenians. JChoose one of the later, just don't put them in the same jar or they'll kill each other due to ethnic and territorial wars. I personally recommend Armenians since they've been more successful at kicking out roaches from their homes since the middle ages

Centipedes aren't social animals like cockroaches, they will kill each other in competition and it takes at least 24 months for the nymphs to become sexually mature.
A German cockroach (the little ones) produce 48 nymphs per egg case and can shit out 7 egg cases every year. The nymphs become reproducing adults in 50 days. A female cockroach only needs to have sex once and it can store enough sperm to reproduce continuously for a whole year.
>>30602047
After having lived in an apartment with German cockroaches, I'll take the risk of an occasional nip vs having cockroaches fall out of the cupboards every time I open them.
>>30602192
Nah, he'll be fine. Jam some chain down in that fucker, maybe something to burn while he's at it. Poof goes his roaches and ability to legally own firearms.

Boric acid. It's nontoxic, really cheap, and comes in an easily dispensed format. Just buy a 1 lb. bag from Home Depot, and spread it on the bottom of your cupboard, pantry, under your bed, near light sockets, behind floorboards, around floor vents, and pretty much everywhere in your bathroom. It is very non-toxic; plenty of labs use a 1.5% boric acid by water solution for their eyewash stations. You can mix it with water and drink it, though I don't advise it, because it is quite bitter. It will not harm children, pets, or really anything larger than a Palmetto bug.
Boric acid works by dissolving the carapace shell of insects (so it kills spiders, ants, roaches, silverfish) so their exoskeleton will be very depleted by the acid, and their legs will collapse underneath them and they will die as their body collapses underneath the weight of their now non-existent shell.
One point I want to be very clear on; do NOT get this stuff wet. It will not work as a spray or slurry; it needs to be a dry powder, so that as the pests walk over it, they pick up the dust because of the static charge they generate as they walk.
I swear up and down by boric acid. When I was a manager for Taco Bell in college, we started out with a massive roach problem (and I'm not talking about the Mexicans). When we pulled one of the prep fridges back from the wall, the entire space, about 20 square feet, was a seething mat of cockroaches. So I went totally crazy with boric acid, and covered the floor of the prep area with 3/4" of the stuff. It looked like a scene from Scarface, all this white powder on the floor. But at the end of the week, I gave overtime to everyone and had them spend six hours cleaning out the entire kitchen and sweeping out the corpses of the fucking roaches and the spent boric acid. After that, we passed our health inspection with something other than a C rating, for the first time in the history of that franchise.

borax and suger. the borax will kill them and as they die they head to "safety" that means the area all the other roachs are. They eat their dead and the borax will kill even more.

Why do you have Turks in your house?
>>30601810
You gotta lure then with maple syrup
>>30601647
Serious answer, try borax. Its non toxic, wont kill pets, and causes las cucarachas to slowly erode holes in their exoskeleton until they dehydrate.

When I shared a loft apartment in college, we had a serious roach problem from when the building was once some kind of food packagingplant. One of my roommates bought a couple of geckos and set them loose. No more roaches, but those little fuckers would drop on you from the overhead beams, or you would step on them accidentally during the night. Not nearly as bad as the cockroaches.
>>30602865
>borax and suger.
Great but why suger, and in what proportions 50/50? 60/40? 70/30?

Only 1 thing, do you remember how many have your fried buy, and their breed?
Preach ISIS doctrine to one of them, and convince them that their people are infidels. Wait for more cockroaches to convert and then teach them places to attack (nests, food supplies, roach hospitals, etc.) attach small suicide vests and send them in. Paradise awaits brothers.

For individual roaches, turn can upside down and spray. Also put roach traps under your bed and in your kitchen.
If you have a huge infestation, try boric acid. I never have but >>30602694 makes it sound cool as fuck.

You can catch strep from pretty much any cut or perforation. My dad got bit by a black widow and the worst that happened was a bit of swelling and a cramp.
Just make a 1kg ferrilizer bomb and detonate it where you think the nest is. Would post instructions but it's illegal

>Humans have been known to die from amounts only a small fraction of the LD50. "The minimal lethal dose of ingested boron (as boric acid) was reported to be 2–3 g in infants, 5–6 g in children, and 15–20 g in adults.
>Long term exposure to boric acid may be of more concern, causing kidney damage and eventually kidney failure (see links below). Although it does not appear to be carcinogenic, studies in dogs have reported testicular atrophy after exposure to 32 mg/kg bw/day for 90 days. This level is far lower than the LD50.[12]

They're important predators of many common household pests. If you have them in your house it's because you also have silverfish, termites, roaches, or some other insect breeding quickly enough for them to have a stable food supply.

I have no idea of the breed or total numbers. His girlfriend at the time worked at some pet shop. I came home from a weeks vacation and there was a note taped on my door, warning me of geckos.

Flaps and Seals tip to kommandos:
If you have a Tyvek envelope, the kind where you peel the backing and seal the flap like FedEx or USPS, you can use that freezing jet of gas to freeze the adhesive, and the flap opens like magic. When it thaws, you can reseal it with no signs of tampering.
>>30601647
Raid in a spray can is just amazing for one or a few. Literally death on contact, it looks like how I imagine nerve gas would kill something. Plus it leaves a residue that if another roach so much as touches it will die within moments. As much as the "MONSANTO IS LITERALLY THE DEVIL AND THE GUBMENT IS FEEDING US MOCROCHIPS" tell you that it is poisonous to pets, it literally isn't. We have enzymes that break down the active toxin, insects do not. Thus death. I wouldn't feed my dog a bottle of the stuff but incidental contact is fine.
Diatomaceous earth is also really good. To a mammal it is literally dirt. To an insect it is razor sharp powdered glass that grinds the exoskeleton then absorbs the lipids and liquids from the shell, drying them out and killing them. While literally harmless to other animals.
