Where can I find arsenic pesticides?

Question

Answer 1

You can get arsenic at any farmers co-op. It won't be mixed as a pesticide because it is illegal to sell arsenic pesticides in the USA.  You will have to mix it yourself.

Be advised, arsenic is illegal because it enters the food chain and builds up in your body causing damage to nervous system, muscles and eyes.

Why not just buy some Malathion and spray the crops with it. It will kill roaches as well as over 100 other crop destroying insects. It is not as dangerous to mammals as arsenic.

Answer 2

Calm down.  You don't want to mess with arsenic.  You can hurt yourself.  Plus, if your or someone else's pet or child wanders into your garden and gets into it, you will have a real problem.

It is unusual for house roaches to venture out into a garden.  Are you sure that's what they are?  If you saw them during the day, they almost certainly aren't house roaches.  I would post your question at www.gardenweb.com, it's free and the people are very nice and helpful.  They will know what to do.
