The result of the struggle will not come too quickly, but it will not take any effort.
2. The dried shell can greatly grieve cockroaches, which constantly need to drink. Putting water solution next to the usual watering place, you can quickly attract the attention of the entire colony and stuff it with boric acid to the dump.
