Killing roaches old school by: Al Carrell The Super Handyman

ROACH KILLER MIX #1


4 Tablespoons boric acid powder

2 Tablespoons of either flour or sugar

1 Tablespoon of cocoa

Mix well and then put in bottle caps or make small trays of aluminum foil. Put these where roaches are likely to be and soon, they won't be anymore

A great window cleaning recipe from super handyman Al Carrell

WINDOW CLEANING RECIPE


1 cup kerosene*

½ cup ammonia

1 gallon warm water

Sponge on and squeegee off. Then polish the glass with wadded newspaper. To make streaks show up better, do one side of the glass with all vertical strokes and the other with all horizontal strokes. You need not have a stroke over streaks!

*kerosene is flammable and also leaves a slight odor, but not for long.
