I guess you could just start feeding them  and selling them as a tasty treat. That woman in the tomb raider movies eats giant roaches as a low carb snack.
remember man that thy are dust.

Actually, if you weren't concerned about what they had been walking over or had some way of making sure that the micro-organisms and toxicities were eliminated, toasted cockroach would probably be fairly nutritive.

I just never have been that hungry.  :D

  I know how to get rid of roaches and keep them away.  It is proven to work as I worked in Conway AR for a rental company who spent $4, grand a year on bug spray for the 200 plus rental units.  (Most were very low rent)  Roaches were very bad in some.   If I could get the people to stay clean I could get rid of them.   I never told the company what I was doing as the tight wad would not pay me extra for my doings.  So when I left so did my organic non poision roach control.   Being a life long Southerner (ain't GOD good!) I can say I have not had to live with roaches.   OOPs customer I have to go.

So, are you going to keep the secret, or spill it?  ;D

I learnt this many years ago and it has proven true many times.   After all have you ever seen a cockroach in a hedge apple tree?   ???  Get a few apples and slice them up and put them under counters and behind places that are dark like hot water heater and around and under the house.   They do not smell and will turn brown in a few weeks.   All I know if you keep the place clean and put these oranges everywhere you can the roaches will move out.    Try it.  It is cheap, easy and you do not have to worry about pets.
  We need to get a prize for the tip of the week.   ;D

Ha! :D  I was told that hedge apples will keep spiders out of the room they are put in.  So....I bought 4 or 5 of them and put them around in my shop.  A while later, I threw them all away when I discovered cobwebs attached to them. ::)

What's a hedge apple?  Is it an apple or an orange?  It sounds sorta' like a hog orange. Some people call them hog sloughs. Is it the same as trifolia?

DanG, ya don't get out much, Son  ::) ::) ;D ;D

  It's about the size of a grapefruit, and if ya ever take one on the ole gourd, you won't forget it. They are almost hard. Will break a windshield if one drops while yer drivin by, under overhanging limbs, along the Hwy. Tough to dig yer finger nails into.

  That's the fruit from them Osage's Kirk Allen keeps scorin.

   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

  They work.  Don't know why they work but we have no roaches.

  We used to play ball with them when we was kids.  'Course we was poor and had little else to play with and had already worn out all the rocks close by.  Four dry cow pies, an old fence post and a hedge apple the game was on.  When we wore one out we could just fetch another and go again.  They will also go through the window of a house. :o

Anyone wanna tell me the best way to sprout one?

pigman

They seem to be spread around here by animals. They eat them and spread the little seeds like the birds doo.  Then on second thought maybe you should not eat them; just bury them in the ground. I really don't know how they spread, but my neighbor has a bunch and I keep getting sprots that are hard to cut with a bushhog. :(

To sprout osage  you got to mash em and take the seeds out . I can't remember if they need to be dried or not before planting. Dad sprouted a bunch of them one year . I got the job of planting the sprouts.
