Scour the coop for any roaches that are in hiding in the coop and let your chickens eat them.

Food grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is the BEST way to deal with roaches, as well as all other creatures with an exoskeleton. No chemicals or poisons are needed. DE is safe to use around your home, your children, your livestock, and your pets. You can read all about it at this link:

http://www.perma-guard.com

Depending on where you live you may find that it is much less expensive to get it Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Diatomaceous-...H2QS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1317926418&sr=8-1

For me this is about $30.00 cheaper than ordering directly from Perma-Guard directly (even though it is their same product offered here.)

Add to this the Gilmour D1 one pound duster and the Pest Pistol Mini-Duster that Amazon offers also (go to the above amazon link and then scroll down, all three are offered as a discount package,) and you will be ready to apply it outside and inside in an efficient, easy, and safe manner.

You should also add some DE to your birds dust bath to get rid of mites and add some to the food of any livestock to control worms.

20 Muleteam Borax. It is a old laundry booster. Sprinkle it in an area where pets and chickens can't get to it. The roaches/bugs will eat it and take it back to the nest on their feet. It dehydrates them. Just put it where your pets can't reach. Great for ants too.
