Hi dblsdoig2005,

Thank you for your question.

Boric Acid Powder can be found in most grocery stores - product names:
Roach PrufeŽ or VictorŽ Boric Acid Powder

=========

Ace Hardware sells Boric Acid Powder.  Ace Hardware Google Local for
Chicago and Chicagoland:

Click on numbered links at the bottom of the page, or type in the name
of the town in the "Where" box middle top of page.

=========

Best regards,

After finding boric acid (which may be found almost anywhere), I have
found that an equal mixture of 1 part boric acid, 1 part sugar, and
one part corn meal, about one teaspoon in a jar lid, and placed behind
the fridge, in cabinets, behind the stove, in closets, and anywhere
else you can think of...will work wonders to rid your house of those
nasty pests.  I understand that some roaches like sweet, and some
salty, so they eat the sugar or the corn meal covered with the boric
acid, and then go off to die, and in the process, carry the poison
back to the nest, therefore, killing others.  I hope this is helpful
info.  It's a lot cheaper than buying pre-made remedies.  Good luck!
