[Neighbors] Bugs

[Nick Wilson]

Ciaran and I were discussing who manages the sewers- it’s the ABCWUA (water
authority). Looked it up and our Water Authority has a form that residents
can fill out when a cockroach problem is identified, so the Water Authority
can come and spray manholes. Per their website, about one pound of boric
acid is sprayed into each manhole through a hole in the center of the
cover. The process does not typically require lifting the cover. While
boric acid is very effective in killing cockroaches, it is not toxic to
humans or animals. If you would like to request treatment for cockroaches
in the sewer system in your neighborhood, please fill out and submit the
form
