Get MaxForce Gel; it works a treat on cockroaches and is non-toxic for pets.

Shoot; I just recommended MaxForce Gel, but in Canada, you have to have an exterminator apply it. In the States, you can buy it otc and apply yourself. I still recommend it though.

From having lived in a tropical country nothing exudes MENACING ENERGY like a giant roach that flies at your face, and when you give it a couple of very hard firm stomps it just shrugs it off like you were tickling it.

MaxForce gel is what i used when i had to live in a very old, nasty-ass, cheapo apartment after my divorce. i didn’t recc it first, because i was not sure how toxic it was (or not) to pets or other critters.
worked a charm and while other tenants on my cell block struggled (or not) with pestilence, my little corner was mostly bug-free. but, as you point out, that won’t help Anna if it is not available OTC in Canada.
@Grey_Devil did they hiss at you while menacing? i’mnot sure i could keep any composure if they hissed at me!

First, disclosure:
Second, in Texas I used boric acid, alone or mixed 1:1 with white sugar, left on slips of paper or upturned bottle caps in/under kitchen cabinets and fridge, for ants and roaches to eat. They eat it, and then they don’t come back. It took a while.

They are kinda cool as long as they stay on inside their well-lit, glassed-in exhibit.

Easier to read titles of books in there. I’d leave off the sliding panels.
