(Maniacal laughing) BTW its a very fine powder where I fet it, and would be very difficult to get to toxicity levels. As for corn starch, it's food, If it works cool, but I would be very surprised.

They are letting them roam, which is really upsetting me badly. I rent my town house. The landlord doesn't do anything for the roaches, nor does he spray at all. It's up to us to do this, and without the other neighbors doing anything, I don't know if it's going to work. Does anyone have a suggestion that might help, if one neighbor isn't doing anything to prevent these critters?

This works to not just move the roaches to another residence. I've lived in Houston for years and the ONLY thing to effectively control roaches, both German and the big waterbug types is a boric acid attack. The BEST brand to find is Eckols Roach Tablets from St. Louis. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cornstarch For Roaches Post By (Guest Post) (12/10/2007) I started using cornstarch yesterday. Never heard of it being used. I needed something i could put in my children's toy closet. I also used boric acid under my sinks and toilet. Boric acid is a fine powder. When the roaches walk through it, the powder becomes lodged in there legs causing them to lose moisture and dehydrate. I figure corn starch would do the same - double duty: open moisture holes and absorb it out. Praying it works!!!

I am very allergic to all other brands, but this one does not bother me at all. It's more expensive than the other brands, but well worth it as it really works for a long time with just one spraying.
