Default Damm Roaches

Brilliant idea, but why not just remove the transom plug and drown the
buggers?.

So you have a bug problem. Ok here is the only and best way to kill those
pesky little disease ridden scum sucking varmints. Seal up your boat and
run a 4 stroke gasoline engine. Small gasoline 4 stroke generators work

the
best. You can rent them by the 1/2 day, or just borrow one. Then just walk
away for eight hours. The engine will run till there is no longer enough
oxygen. The bugs and any other varmints will suffocate. You will not

have
any oily residue to deal with. Making clean up a breeze. Now remember not
to breath when you open up the windows to vent the carbon monoxide. What
ever you do be real careful, or you too could be Kaput. Don't use a

diesel
engine. The exhaust contains soot and that's a real pain to clean.
Cockroach eggs hatch between 5 to 7 weeks. You will need to repeat this
trick a few times.

Once you have ridden the boat of all bugs. You need to keep it clean. You
can still use a pesticide. You may only want to use it in areas that bugs
make home and meals.

REMEMBER THE BOAT WILL BE FULL OF CARBON MONOXIDE. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A
SILENT KILLER, AND WILL KILL YOU ALSO UNTIL IT IS ALL VENTED OUT.

I've never had a roach problem on a boat before, but have got one now.

Those
damm little German cockroaches have gotten a foothold, and nothing I'm

using
is doing much good. I have used those Raid Max smoke type foggers twice,
sprayed everywhere with Raid Max, and then used the "wet" foggers. I can
knock them down for awhile, but not out.

Raid Max used to be the best, lasted for months. They've reformulated it

to
a water-based formulation that smells completely differently from the

old
style, and it doesn't seem to do anything unless you spray it right on

them,
despite their claims that it "kills for up to 6 months".

Any ideas?
