Chinatown of course. I also used to get it at Wholesale Liquidators on Bway (but that was about 100 years ago). [ Reply | More

I think that chalk has Boric Acid in it (?). It was something like that at least. I think you can sprinkle some of that around, out of reach of the kids, and you can kill some of the roaches. [ Reply | More

You can get it anywhere they sell garden stuff. I wouldn't want a kid to eat large quantities, but it is perfectly safe. It's made out of some sort of fossil. Gardeners use it in the garden to kill all sorts of things. Google it, but I think it is exactly what you want. [ Reply | More

Do you think it will kill carpet beetles? I know chinese chalk will. It kills small animals. [ Reply | More

It kills other types of beetles, so I imagine so. It will not kill small animals though... [ Reply | More

ummm I just looked up chinese chalk, and I doubt you really want it around kids... "It has the same appearance as safe chalk used in classrooms, but contains deltamethrin and/or cypermethrin, dangerous pesticides that are illegal in the United States. Both pesticides are known to affect the nervous system." [ Reply | More

if our lovely FDA thinks it's bad stuff, I really would stay away, they only deny the worst pesticides. It's amazing what they still allow on the market. [ Reply | More

Are you planning on traveling to Mexico soon? I've often brought back (yes illegally) certain items that aren't avail in the US when we go on vacation. Or see if someone else going abroad would be willing to do this. [ Reply | More
