INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Search online for pricing information, and ask experienced DJs if they wouldn't mind telling you what they charge. Then offer to DJ at a fraction of that price, such as 50%, for your initial engagements. It might be tempting to go after a huge gig early on, but avoid that temptation. Big gigs will be available when you're ready for them. You don't want to get discouraged, harm your reputation, or burn any bridges by biting off more than you can chew. If you are doing only parties, for example, offer to do weddings, too, or bar/bat mitzvahs, retirements, birthdays, anniversaries, school dances, and other functions.

Emphasize that you're flexible and can accommodate the host's musical preferences. Include clear contact information, and offer free, individual estimates over the phone, not online.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Three basic types are available: silica (as found in products like Delta Dust or Safer Ant & Crawling Insect Killer), diatomaceous earth (Roach and Ant Killer D-E Dust), and boric acid (Borid, Pic Boric, or Roach Prufe). Silica and diatomaceous earth work by damaging and desiccating the cockroach's exoskeleton, while boric acid is highly toxic to roaches when ingested. Borax (sodium borate) is often used as a homemade roach pesticide. Borax contains the same element (boron) as boric acid, but may be less effective as a pesticide. These dusts should be used sparingly. Roaches will notice and avoid big piles of dust. Use a small pesticide powder duster to puff a thin (barely visible) film into cracks, void spaces around cabinets, and underneath appliances. Re-apply your dusts every 3-4 months, or as recommended by the manufacturer. Although these pesticides are relatively safe, they can still be harmful. Be especially cautious when using dusts that contain boric acid. Do not use these dusts on surfaces where food is prepared or consumed.

SUMMARY:
Purchase one or more pesticide dusts. Place pesticide dusts in places where roaches hide. Keep pesticide dusts away from pets and children.
