If you ever do get rid of them do not let corrugated cardboard boxes on
board ever again. Roaches love to lay eggs in those cozy little tubes.

We get calls all the time from tenants who, after having been moved in
for a few weeks, complain about roaches. Invariably we find that they
packed their stuff in boxes they picked up from a grocery or liqour
store and left them in a closet. Tenants who unpack everything and get
rid of the boxes don't have roaches nearly as often.

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?
