Wow, thanks, Sam. I’ll keep your recipe.

I’m in the Hyder Park area, too, and was overwhelmed with roaches in the Spring-Summer of 2018 and 2019.  I finally figured out that it was related to the sewer line replacement project.  The roaches were pushed from the construction areas south and westward into my unfortunate area.  

Last year as the construction actually arrived in the neighborhood, we had no unusual roach problem.  I figure the roaches were all moving further west ahead of the workmen.  We’ll see.

Here's a roach bait recipe that pretty much cleared up my massive roach problem, near Hyder Park, after a coupla years. 1st year saw a 75% decrease.
It's, basically, inert/non-toxic to humans and other vertebrates.
The active ingredient, 99% Boric Acid, is sold as "roach killer" at most hardware stores.
Instead of lard, I use coconut oil.

Alma’s Roach Bait

16 oz Boric Acid
1/2 cup Finely Chopped Onions
1/2 cup Sugar
1 cup Flour
Lard to hold it all together
Add Water to the consistency of clay

Hello All:  I am wondering if anyone else has been experiencing the appearance of cockroaches during the past few weeks.  I have notice that each morning I find 5 or 6 of the buggers mostly dead on the floors.  It seems a little early to me for this to be happening and I am wondering if anyone else is dealing with the same thing.  Located near Lomas and Solano.  Thanks.
