    Keeping ****roaches out of linen cupboard?

    Help! I found a flipping ****roach in the linen cupboard today and I was wondering if anyone has any tips for keeping them out - those traps don't do jack, so is there a spray or something like camphor that will keep them out?

    I gave up on beating our ****roach plague after months of battle using every possible remedy (and I hate pesticides). I called in the pest man. Not a single ****roach since.

    The pest man made me feel better by explaining that what he used specifically targeted the type of ****roach we had and there was no way we could have gotten rid of them and all of their nesting places on our own. He did say that after I'd paid him, so I hope it's right!

    Spray, spray, spray.

    We have heaps, my house is spotless and we still have them. I'm not a fan of spraying or bombs, but it really is all that I've found that works. The baits work for a few weeks and then need changing.

    I hate ****roaches!
