I recommend the Dampit, instead of the orange peels. Too bad, because they
smell so nice. Cockroaches, ants, bees and other critters think so, too.
Keeping the case closed doesn't keep the wildlife out. Voice of experience:
A big fat cockroach can get into nearly anything, via the fifth dimension.

for its swimming pool with the view of the freeway), where spraying the
apartment was like posting a "Vacancy Now! Low Rent!" ad for the neighbors'
cockroaches.
