Getting rid of roaches without toxic sprays
ListenEven the cleanest of homes can sometimes be visited by the contemptible cockroach. Mike McGrath, host of You Bet Your Garden, will reveal the non-toxic ways to get rid of—or prevent—this odious invader! Plus answers to all your growing questions.
Question of the Week:
“What do you recommend for roaches? When we’ve had them in the past, we had a pest control company spray indoors, even though that wasn’t our preference with two small kids. It’s not a huge problem, but every now and then we see one. We hadn’t seen one in months and then one appeared in the bathroom medicine cabinet! We try and keep a clean home, but we live in a row house, so we’re not sure what might be going on ‘between the walls’.”
