Roach Control
One of the most common found pests indoors and outdoors, roaches are known to be one of the most repulsive looking insects. Not only are they disgusting look-wise, but they could also carry and transmit bacteria. Moreover, the bacteria transferred can also lead to food poisoning. Not a lot of people are aware, but we can be allergic to them. Roaches are commonly linked to asthma. Roaches can usually be found outside near residences and food establishments. When a cockroach settles in, the breeding will start. Did you know that roaches are capable of reproducing thousands of eggs. Development rate is rather slow compared to other insects taking anywhere from a couple of months to a year. Adult roaches can live up to 4-5 years.

Cockroach Control
Roaches are adaptable insects and can adjust well with our environment. Where do roaches reside, you ask? Usually, roaches are in close proximity of food and warm moisture. Due to these "always" readily available sources, roaches are expected to be present unless the proper pest control is applied.
How to Get Rid of Roaches
People are constantly on the hunt for products that will eradicate these roaches and sadly, most people do fail; given the fact that their chemical makeup is one that is conducive to adapting. If left untreated, roaches will reproduce, breeding more and more. Our patrons need to be aware that roach infestations are unlike any other. If a person wants to get rid of roaches for good, they need to soley depend on definitive professional pest control products. There are various ways to go about roach control and management. One of the most common ways to get rid of roaches effectively is to use roach baits. Roaches scurry for food all the time, so what better way to control roaches than to poison them with food attractants. Cockroach baits, when placed and used properly, can be the solution you've been looking for to effectively handle your roach pest problems. Placement is key when using roach baits. Without the proper placement, baits are useless. Some ideal areas for roach baits include under fridges, stoves, dishwashers, sinks, toilets, near trash cans, storage areas, cabinets and other unseen crevice areas.
Roach Killer
Of course there are other ways to manage your roach pest problems such as roach insecticide sprays, wettable powders, roach glue traps, granules and insecticide dusts. Speaking of dusts, boric acid dust is considered one of the most effective ways to fight off cockroaches. Just a small application is needed for strong toxic potency. Boric acid is an odorless lethal insecticide to roaches while low in toxicity to people and untargeted animals.

Q. I once hired Sears Once a Year Pest control and they came out and put a touch of gel in different location throughout the house. In about 2 weeks it was impossible to find a living roach in that house and it WAS SERIOUSLY INFESTED!!! The only problem was the 1500 dollars they charged. Do you have a product that will work that good and if so which one?
A. We have several different kinds of cockroach gel baits. The most popular baits that are used are Dupont Advion Roach Bait gel and Maxforce Magnum Roach Gel.

Q. Best course of action for roaches
I live in Missouri and my residence is infested with roaches. I've been looking at the products here, what would you recommend to use to kill these little intrusive pests? The powder seemed to be good as far as I've read, but it gets rather humid here i would think it makes the powder useless wouldn't it or would it still be effective? I would prefer not to use smoke bombs.
A. Smoke bombs (foggers) do not provide long term control for roach control. Also, it depends on what type of species of cockroaches you have for the dust to prove effective. If you have a species that nests indoors then the dust may be effective. If you have a species that lives outdoors, a liquid concentrate spray like Cy-Kick must be sprayed as a barrier around the perimeter of the house. Also, the most effective for all species of roaches is to use a bait type of insecticide like a gel bait in the inside or granular bait on the outside. If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to contact us again.

Q. cockroach in my kitchen
Thank you kindly. Just have a question regarding the application of the maxforce gel: Do I need to move items out of my cabinets and drawers before placing gel bait there?
I am experiencing (for the 1st time) a cockroach infestation in my kitchen. I called a "professional" pest control tech to my home for the roach issue and it did not place a dent in resolving the problem. Not sure what products / chemicals were used for the treatment. I do know that he dusted (using a white powder) and he also used granules; lots of granules.
Please advise.
A. Hi there! You actually do not have to remove everything out of the cabinets when you are applying bait gels. If you have a German roach infestation they are likely to live 3-5 feet from a water source so I would focus treatment around those areas. Be sure to store away any competitive food sources which may compete with the Roach Bait Gels!

Q. roaches in house
I have discovered cockroaches in my attic and one in my kitchen. I also have what I thought was big beetles but now may this it is also a cockroach. What is the BEST product(s) to use to bait and kill these bugs. Also, when you do this order, I need more of the Dupont Advion (4 pack). I have bought 2-4 packs so far and it has seemed to reduce these ants a lot but I do not seem to be able to finish them off. Is there something else I need? Please send me the recommended products I have purchased from you in the past
A. Well, no bait is really better than another, but one of the most popular baits for cockroaches are actually made by the same company as the baits you are using for ants. Dupont Advion makes a bait for roaches as well, which are very effective and can be placed in target areas like the kitchen, bathroom, and other areas. As for the Dupont Advion Roach bait, you may not be able to clear up the infestation because of bait placement. You really need to target the nest and get the baits as close to the target as you can. If the nest is outdoors, consider using the Ant No More bait stations and placing them close to the nest or use a concentrate insect to to a mound treatment on the colony.

Q. HOW DO I USE BROIC ACID POWER TO KILL THE ROACHS ITS IS SMALL ROACHS DO I MIX IT IN WATER AND THEN SPRAY IT AROUND THE HOUSE ... I DO NOT HAVE TOO MUCH BUT I DONT LIKE THEM AROUND THE HOUSE !!!!
A. Boric Acid Powder is a dust material that is applied as it is and left alone so that the roaches can ingest the poison and die on contact. You may also want to consider using roach baits like gel baits or bait stations. Baits will provide you with a domino effect where roaches will share the poison primarily by feces.

Q. how to get rid of roaches
Hi, Last night my wife and I where sleeping and I thought I felt something and then it went away, It did it a 2nd time and I told my wife I felt something and she was like it's nothing just go to bed, Well the 3rd time I felt something and I jumped out of the bed
And my wife was like WHAT, I said baby there is a roach in are bed, She was still laying in the bed while I was out, Then here comes the roach from under the covers and goes up my wife's leg and then up a little higher haha And she went crazy haha, Anyway I just want to buy something that WORKS. So can you please help me thanks. Josh
A.
Hi Josh,
Thank you for the very amusing story. Similar thing happened to me once, but I was on the computer late at night and had a roach crawl up my leg, then fly away. Of course, I went crazy as well.
Anyways, for indoor roach control, we have the MaxForce FC Roach Bait Gel. This is a very effective product as customers seem to love it and we never received any complaints about it. It works as an ingestion kill and a contact kill. The roaches can carry it back to their nesting areas, killing off the source.
Roaches are also carnivorous and will eat other dead roaches. If a roach ingests this gel and dies, and another roach eats that dead roach, the poison that is inside the dead roach's stomach will poison the live roach as well.
The active ingredient, fipronil, inside the MaxForce FC Roach Bait Gel is very safe-- one of the safest on the pest control supplies market. It is safe for your pets as well. You can apply this gel anywhere, areas where you usually see the roaches. Try not to have any other foods out to eliminate bait competition.
If your infestation is heavy, you should start seeing results in about a week. If it is a small infestation, you will see results in about 2-3 days. The gel, once applied, will stay most effective for up to 2 weeks, but is still effective for up to a month.
Here is a link where you can directly purchase the MaxForce FC Roach Bait Gel
If you have any questoins on how to apply or use this product, you can always call and ask us on our hotline: 1-800-788-4142. Our business hours are Monday-Saturday [9A.M.-7P.M.] If there is any other way I can assist you, please let me know. Thank you!

Q. Roaches in computer repair store!
Hi, I work in a computer repair store. It is a small building but business is great. I have had a few computers in with dead roaches, or evidence of roaches (their sheddings) but never have I ever seen one as bad as I experienced yesterday. My wonderful boss is the one who discovered them when he opened up the computer so we could further diagnose the computer, I saw them too, and I opened the front door and he ran the computer outside and we stomped on all the ones coming out (there were ALOT!) and then he had me take the air compressor and blow them out until we thought they were gone. My boss said by the look of them they were German cockroaches. There were eggsacks upon eggsacks and I think the computer had some sort of nest because there was a little dust/dirt pile in one corner of it, Eventually He and I both thought the computer was clean so we brought it inside! Big mistake! Since then, Ive seen over 20-30 roaches (since yesterday) in the office, I dont know what to do, I want to be a good employee because I love my job and I have an awesome boss but Im deathly terrified of these monsters, I read on your page that bombing doesnt help much and thats what he plans on doing to fix it. Is there anything I can do? I want these suckers GONE! PLEASE HELP!
A. The best type of roach product to use for German roaches is to use a bait poison. Gels and bait stations alike have a "domino effect" in killing roaches. Advion and Maxforce has very popular and effective roach gel baits and roach bait stations. Since you have a store that houses devices like computers, bombing or spraying may not be the most effective in that they might damage your materials. That is also something to consider when you begin roach treatment. For more information, please feel free to give us a call at 1-800-788-4142.

Q. can roaches fly
Im the girl who wrote u about working in a comuter store, I wanted to also ask if they fly because i saw one with wings and I swear it flew (for a short period) but it flew!
A. German roaches cannot fly, although they do have wings. All species of roaches are winged though. Most of the indoor roaches will not be able to fly but there are a few large, outdoor roaches are able to fly short distances.

Q. roach control
i like to get the best product to eliminate roaches inside the house that will not harm kids or pets
A. Thank you for contacting us with your question. In areas with small children or pets the Maxforce FC Cockroach Bait Stations would be the safest product to use for German Roaches (1/2 inch in size).
However if you are infested with larger roaches (1 inch ), larger roaches nest outdoors and only forage indoors in search for food. Therefore you will have to do a thorough treatment around the outer perimeter of your home. Out door treatment will help you to keep their numbers to a minimum.

Q. kill roaches
how to kill cockroaches
A. If you are having problems with cockroaches inside the home, you are probably seeing the smaller, brown, German roaches.
The bigger cockroaches that run about 1in long are American roaches that come from the outside.
Cockroaches inside the home are attracted to a water source and so you may be seeing them the most in the kitchen or bathroom.The most effective products we have for roaches are bait gels. Bait gels may be squeezed out manually from syringes or purchased by the station which may simply be placed in areas with infestation.
Gel baits have a delay-kill effect and may be more effective that the instant kill spray or fogger.Was this helpful?

Q. Help with roaches
I moved in to a low income Apartment a month ago within a day I was seeing roaches about every place I looked and even in places I didn't the landlord has had someone come in and spray for the roaches it helps for up to 3 to 4 days then I'm back to sleeping with these things. It just came to my attention that they are not spaying all the apartments (9 in all) only the ones that people let them in to spray I really need help in getting something that will really work for my apartment I have a 6 month lease that I can't get out of, what would I use. Also when my lease is up is there anything that I can buy to make sure I do not take the roaches with me I would love to take my couch bed but I fear that I may have to leave it all behind. I live in battle creek Michigan if u could help me in find what I can use and will work I would be very grateful.
A. Hello, you should use Maxforce FC roach bait gel together with the Gentrol Aerosol with IGR for the best result. Here are direct links to the products.
After you apply the Maxforce FC roach gel, you might see more roaches because it is a bait gel after all.
However, do not remove the gel or kill roaches up to 3 to 5 days because the gel works through both ingestion and contact, knocking down roaches that eat or simply touch the bait. Either way, one contaminated roach kills others.
Also, Gentrol Aerosol with IGR is formulated to stop reproduction and eliminate the roach eggs. After you treat your apartment, you should be safe to move with your couch and bed.Was this helpful?
