May 4, 1991 ROACH1.ASC -------------------------------------------------------------------- A Non-Pesticide way to rid of Roaches Roaches, along with many other insects, detect the presence of danger through their antenna and very fine hairs on their body. As a predator approaches, the slight air currents which precede the movement of the body cause the antenna to vibrate. This movement is magnified through the length of the antenna to alert the insect of an approaching danger. Roaches are therefore VERY RESPONSIVE to the movement of air currents and will run for cover. They also seek out moisture and darkness. According to researchers with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this sensitivity to drafts offers an excellent natural means of driving them away. Keep your windows open to allow breezes to move through your home. The breezes not only disturb the roach antenna, but will dry out any moist areas where roaches tend to lay their eggs. We at Vangard Sciences and KeelyNet lean toward natural pest control methods whenever and wherever possible. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
