[quote=Anonymous]There is a natural roach repellent that you can make by mixing 1 cup water, 1 tsp salt and 20 drops of peppermint essential oil.  Put in a spray bottle and spray all of the potential access points to your kitchen.  Spray the entire baseboards around the kitchen, spray inside the back of cupboards, in the pantry, etc.  Then get a low pan that is slightly larger than your dog dish (ideally the same shape and that you can put the dog bowl into with about 1/2" - 3/4" clearance all the way around).  Put the dog dish in and then put in more of the above mixture into the pan essentially making a moat around the dog food.  This will keep them away from the dog food.  Then you should go through the pantry and cupboards and make sure that anything that they may be able to get into is sealed in plastic, metal or glass containers.  Cardboard boxes are the worst and will not keep them out.  Also, if you go into the kitchen at night and turn on the light, look for where they scurry off to and then put some borax there (like inside cabinets, under drawers, etc).  The ones that are in the kitchen will track the borax back to the nest.[/quote]
