Cockroaches in the Compost
A nice, easy customer question. I wish they were all like that.
Question: There are cockroaches in my compost. How do I get rid of them?
Answer: I asked the customer if the compost was dry looking. Customer said yes, so suggested wetting the compost with a bucket of water. The moisture will discourage the cockroaches and also encourage better decomposition of the contents.
