Q: We've had a lot of wet weather and now have a big cockroach problem. What's the best way to get rid of them?
--Dee Lee Thompkins, Siler City, NC

A: With my mother's roach-bait recipe! Mix equal parts sugar and boric acid (a powder available at hardware centers and drugstores). Sprinkle in crevices and corners where you have seen roach action. You can also pour the mixture in jar lids and put them under the sink or behind the refrigerator. Be sure to place the bait away from nosy pets or active children: Boric acid can be potentially toxic if ingested. Also, keep your kitchen as clean as you possibly can. Roaches are looking for food and like to hang out in dark, damp places. Check under the sink and toss out old product boxes or paper sacks -- the critters may be nibbling on them. If the infestation continues, you may have to use an insecticide (read the label first). Spray along the baseboards of your walls, underneath sinks and in cupboards, taking care not to spray around exposed food.
