Does anyone know how to get rid of cockroaches and ants.

Ants - Ants are social insects that belong to the same order as the wasps and bees. They are of particular interest because of their highly organized colonies or nests which sometimes consist of millions of individuals.

I just cannot stop myself when I see these in the kitchen and have to do something to stop them but have no ideas at all. I have tried using the baygon spray but get scared as I do not want to poison the food and my hubby hates the smell of it. Can someone give me suggestions please.

I have found this wonderful sight that has many natural ways to control cockroaches and ants. They have a lot of ideas that work. I have done the cucumber bit and I know that it works. I have also put red corn cobs on the counter when I had sugar ants and never saw another one.Hope this helps you. http://www.eartheasy.com/live_natpest_control.htm

Try chalk for the ant. Write it to the way of ants. For cockroach try blatanex. Just put a pea size where the cockroach way. And is much saver than spray.

I have tried the chalk from there are places where your hand can't reach and it is not effective on cockroaches.

I call up Godrej Hi-care. That is how I get rid of the cockroaches and ants. They injest certain chemicals on all your furnitures, if required spray certain areas in the house. But believe me you don't have to leave the house or empty out your cabinets.
