Randolph Franklin) Distribution: net Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 16 I reduced the number of roaches in an apartment by 1) physically sealing as many holes as possible, e.g. where pipes for the sink come through the wall, and 2) using a spray that lasts heavily on areas that I wouldn't touch, such as the corner between the wall and the floor. When I moved to my own house I used an air spray in the boxes of kitchen stuff and papers such as books. It worked; our house is roach free. BTW the first time in my life that I saw a roach was in a Harvard U. dorm. Finally, I'm afraid of commercial exterminators. I know they don't kill the roaches but I think they might get me since they spray dishes with abandon. Wm.
