Thank you for your site. It was a wonder for us because we had heard these "myths" about using the "horse apple" for getting rid of roaches but were very sceptical about them. We finally went out and picked some, brought them home, split nearly 40 of them in half and spread them around our home. Let's home they do their job now and we see a great reduction in the menace bugs.

Was teaching a class on Natural Insect Pest Control and Hedgeapple was listed. I never heard of one so I went to the web site given. I grow up in Union, S.C. Outside of the Union Cotten Mill gate that my father, grandmother & grandfather used was this large tree with what we called monkey oranges. Now after 30 plus years I know what those thing were. The next time I'm home I will go by the old mill and see if the tree is still there. The mill has been gone for a few years.

General Comments: I have only used the hedgeapples for a few days so can't comment on the duration. I would describe the effect as more than "very localized" but less than"widespread." And I would describe it as immediate and astonishing. We live in an old Greenwich Village building with a lot of cracks, in which construction is going on. We have several cats and their dry food is out all the time. Since the roaches mutated to be immune to Combat, we have despaired of finding a solution. We are fascinated and grateful and hope the effects last. We will definitely be ordering some..
