Sprinkle bay leaves in front of all the places the roaches crawl in and out of of. Sprinkle all the holes in the wall. Sprinkle around places where roaches might find a bite to eat. The oils in the bay leaves burn their little feet and and they won't crawl over the bay leaves. My mother has used this method and it seems to work. Some scientists discovered this amazing property of bay leaves by accident. It's amazing how things work sometimes. Sharon Badian ihnp4!mtgzz!seb
