My home is filled with German cockroaches.  These are the gross tiny ones that even got into my fridge 😱Blech. Never had them ever in 30 yrs. using Harmony Organic Pest to get rid of them. Taking a while but worth it.

Also, I construct little roach hotels out of plastic containers (cutting triangle doors on 4 sides of yogurt containers) and bait them with this concoction.  For every 1 roach you see, there are a hundred more hiding.  This has really worked for me.

> Hello:  I have lived near Solano and Lomas for the past 20 years.  Never had much of a bug problem - one or two roaches found in the house per season.  However, recently I have found at least 6 or 7 of the little buggers wandering around in my house.  Wondering if anyone else is experiencing a similar situation.  Also, I noticed that the hummers have arrived.  Time to fire up the feeders. Regards.
