Cue my yearly sharing of Alma’s Roach Bait.  Environmentally friendly (of note:  onions can be toxic to dogs) and it works pretty well.

Alma’s Roach Bait

16 oz Boric Acid  (powder)

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

  Roll in to easy to distribute marble sized balls.  Put them in nooks and crannies outside.

Cockroaches are very common in Albuquerque and, as you noted, are more likely to come into households as the seasons change. I doubt it is something the City can (or should) handle, but rather it is up to individual homeowners or renters.

Personally I get a quarterly bug spray on our property (we use Preventive Pest Control) and make sure the bottoms of my doors are sealed well. Leaving doors and windows open are an invitation for bugs.

Subject: [Neighbors] Bugs   Hi All:

  Just wondering others in the Nob Hill area are experiencing an influx of cock roaches? I have requested the city to treat the problem. I think it might be related to the warm weather of late.

  Thanks

 JRB
