That's the strange thing, this is the only place I've sen any roaches. We
put out boric acid under ll the kitchen and bathroom cabinets, closets,
pantry, all the nice dark places. The roach sure liked the cactus and
looked like it was eating it to me, but hey what do I know

I've noticed several large branches of my rather small Christmas catus on
the floor yesterday. Today I found one on the floor and it had a roach
on
it. Do roaches eat Christmas cactus? It's like the roach was eating the
branch off at the joint. Needless to say this plant is now out in the
garage and the area it was in has been sprayed with bug spray. I figure
the
roach came in on the plant or maybe on the Poinsettia it was sitting next
to. Any information is appreciated.

I'm sure there are many more tasty holiday crumbs around your dining
and kitchen area than a zygocactus stem. Boric acid powder is toxic
to roaches, fairly safe to humans and pets. If you have one roach,
there are many many more.
