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?

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

The easiest way to get rid of the bugs is to buy about a half gallon of Boric
Acid powder. Spread it under all the cabinets, shelves and anywhere you think
the roaches might go that is out of your way. It can stay there for months. The
roaches walk through it and carry it back to their home. It will kill them all
and keep them gone for yrs. Just leave the Boric acid there.

Errr....why not just go buy a chunk of dryice, toss it in and close the
boat up?

One extra Oxygen molecule.

I guess I was looking at it from the angle of:
1. No exhaust odor.
2. Carbon dioxide isn't particularly healthy to breath, even with the
extra oxygen atom in the molecule. :-)

One extra Oxygen molecule.

But it's not available is it? I thought it would be bound up and unusable.
We spray it on a fire to choke it out so I figured it may have oxygen but
it's not available. For that matter, water has oxygen too doesn't it? But
you can't breathe it since it's not available.

I may be wrong ... I'm just wondering.

Carbon dioxide (from dry ice) is a simple asphyxiant. If it displaces
the oxygen in the air it will kill you, but it takes quite a bit of
it. You can be exposed to 30,000 ppm for 15 minutes and still be OK.

Carbon monoxide at 1500 ppm may lead to death, and the 15 minute
exposure limit is 35 ppm for an hour. This is because without the
extra oxygen molecule, CO has a 200 to 300 times great affinity for
hemoglobin than oxygen does. So even if there is enough oxygen
present, the CO will kick it off the hemoglobin and you will die. So
it isn't just a simple asphyxiant any more.

Geez, I knew that at one time and I had forgotten all about it. Must be that
blue crayon in my brain.
