That's one of the scariest sentence I've read.

Think where they are coming from, and block the holes (non organic) with something.

Now we have sorted out the cockroach problem , what do we do about the mossie problems. Haha.

There is a very effective new chemical in Australia. The pest man sprays if liberally on floors and in cupboards and leaves it to dry. There may be 50-100 dead roaches the next day and you never see another one for at least a year.
It only costs about $50 per application.
Someone should be importing it to Cambodia.

As for the Greenleaf....That small 5 g. Bag should be used sparingly... Use small amounts in cockroach corridors.....Sweep up the roaches and kep the powder on the floor for a week..... Repeat....
I have killed 10s of 1000s in restaurants and bars using only 4 or 5 packs...

Duncan hit it on the head earlier - you can do whatever you want in your own home, but you can't change your neighbours.

I had a baby rat problem last year; I found all their routes in/out, etc, but it was always a "find a dead one in the glue trap in the morning" job. They're not Jerry mouse coming through neat holes in walls, those things can run up metres of wall & slip through even larger door cracks. But all my food was sealed, all precautions taken, yet they still wanted to snoop around - I knew my house wasn't the problem.

Fast forward a few months and the house behind mine changed owners from Khmer to Chinese, rats gone overnight. Clearly the new tenants keep their house in order & Monsieur rat's mother was taken care of never to return. I've gone a whole year now without a single sighting.

Not sure about the bats & pangolins they keep in their shed, but hey ho.

Ok. Back from the shop with pesticide chalk (Made in China Grrrr) and an ARS Black Cap cockroach poisoning station (Thai). I haven't found Greenleaf yet. I'll let you know what happens.

How much did you spend?

The chalk was $2.25 and ARS was 3.40 at Angkor Mart TTP. They had plastic traps with 4 one way doors for around $5.60. I forgot to buy the baking soda and sugar so I'll take a trip to Royal Mart and check to see if they have the Greenleaf powder. So hot today, I have two fans on me on 3.

Do those plug in mossie repellents work?
