Every apartment block has roaches, I'm not naive. But to get rid of the ones in mine I put a teaspoon of borax near the dishwasher kick plate and blew it under with compressed air. Sprinkled some around the perimeter of the cabinet beneath the kitchen sink.
Have not seen a roach in 10 months.
Edit: don't try to bait food with borax, they won't eat it, just get it on the walking paths. You want them tracking it into the hive where they all clean it up like cats and die because to an insect it's like eating knives.

Is there another common household spray that would be effective but not permanently damaging to a person?
not really. The neurotoxins work really well.

Carburetor cleaner kills wasps on contact, since we always had old cars growing up and lived in the sticks we also always got wasp nests. I still keep some around just in case. I don't even own a car with a carburetor anymore. They get a good distance of spray too for added safety when dealing with them.

My chromosomes. The X and Y work together in semi-functional unison to make me the man I am today.

I use a usb mug warmer to heat microscope slides.
I use a mug warmer to maintain viscosity of a certain epoxy for molding. I did have to remove the safety switch because of weight.
They work well -
Just not at the same time. If you use vinegar and baking soda together, you'll effectively neutralize both.
Surprisingly the combo of citric acid & baking soda makes a reasonable rust remover. I believe it is a chelating agent.
...and yes, it does fizz everywhere when mixing. -

I use citric acid to prevent water spots in the dishwasher. Don't bother using rinse aids, as they are often just citric acid at 2-10 times the price.

I use weed for the temporary existential release from this horrifying reality.
Ok, but what is the INTENDED use for weed. I admit, I've never read the label before.

Instance name checks out
Also, hello there, fellow labrat! Are you a microbiologist?
No, I'm a beekeeper, and did a course in microscopy earlier this year. I make slides of pollen and bits of bee. I have another microscope for dissecting bees. It is beyond thrilling to have my own wee lab, with bottles of chemicals and petrie dishes and dissecting tools.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Hehe, I dream of having my own lab at some point too! But in my case it would be worth $200.000 on the low end.
And overall, nice!
