What do you keep under your sinks to keep roaches and ants out?

What type of traps do you guys keep under your sinks in order to keep roaches/rats/and other pesty animals out of there?
 
we use to have a lot of roaches few years ago, then we started using that Combat Roach bait thing and it actually works. I haven't seen a roach in a long time. Now our biggest problem is ants but its impossible to get rid of them, they just keep comming back. We use the combat ant baits as well and it gets rid of one colony but there are hundreds more that keep on invading.
 
I find nothing wrong with ants.

They're doing you a favor, cleaning your messy kitchen. If you don't want them in your house, don't feed them! 😛

Snails rule. Why would you consider them a pest?

Unless you have a garden.
 
Check out epestsupply.com They got probably what you need. Eli's right, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I successfully got rid of ants by throwing Diazinone around the perimeter of my house once in the spring and again in late summer. It took a couple of years of doing this before they were completely gone. I still do it to keep them away.

 
I've heard Home Depot sells this stuff called Home Defense. Supposed to be a nerve agent or some crap for bugs. My friend uses it, swears by it. Might go see what you can dig up on that stuff. He said they spray it around there house and pow, no more buggies.

If its really a nerve agent type stuff though you might not wanna breath it. Or, try it out on a homeless guy first to see how it affects humans.

When I moved in my apartment had roaches. I put out two or three types of roach motels and the roaches went away. I have not seen too many things work that well.
 
I let them fester, until they're big and fat enough to squash easily with the latest issue of Maximum PC/Stuff, which I keep laying around for that specific purpose after I finish reading them.

lol..

Back around Valentine's day, we purposely left a sweetheart candy out on the windowsill in my girlfriend's room, to see how long it would take the ants to eat it.

It took them about 3 weeks. :Q🙂😛

a roach can live on the oils in a single human fingerprint for that long...imagine how long it would take to eat a pile of candy, and how big and fat it would get :Q

Yeah, but roaches are nasty. I would never intentionally feed them. 😛

I've never lived in a house with roaches, heh.

Sounds like a LIE.
 
Gecko's are the best way. I'd have one myself if my cats didn't find the gecko delicious.

They just crawl all over our doors, driveway, and doorstep then you have to be really careful why you run in the rain not trying to step on them 🙂
