****roaches...

****roach "control" begins with Prevention. Obviously, if you can keep from having a problem to begin with it is far superior to having to eliminate it once it has become established. The term "Integrated Pest Management", or IPM, was never more appropriate than it is with controlling ****roaches. You bet ya!:| :O 8)
