[22:39] IsambardPrince I put out 12 more Combat bait stations and sprayed some more areas where I believe they might be coming in from. [22:40] IsambardPrince I'm going to grab a box of Borax and a pound of sugar and some cheap shallow plastic containers. 50% sugar, 50% Borax. Mix thoroughly and leave it in the cabinets for them. [22:40] IsambardPrince It should kill any that are resistant to the other stuff. [22:40] IsambardPrince MinceR, ^ [22:41] IsambardPrince I'm leaving all kinds of things they can eat, theat will kill them. [22:42] IsambardPrince My guess is the infestation is a lot more severe in the neighboring apartments because they're probably not doing anything. I can hear the guy with the broken window upstairs whacking the floor and wall really hard. [22:42] IsambardPrince I can imagine what he's got going on up there, [22:42] IsambardPrince MinceR, I also took Gorilla Tape and taped up the areas separating the countertop from the cabinets. [22:42] IsambardPrince So if they get into the cabinets, they have to eat the stuff out of the traps. [22:43] IsambardPrince If they come out, there's bug poison that I sprayed onto the trim.
