What's the best product for getting rid of roaches?

[Hope]

I guess compared to some cases, the situations is a medium sized problem.

I started to see more in the kitchen despite cleaning more often past six months, and doing thorough jobs like getting under the refrigerator (by moving it) and back of stove. I buy basic combats. Switch combats twice in a year, and the problem just gets worse. Now I see them in all parts of apartment, and a lot more in kitchen. I've lived here for 12 years and never had a roach problem, actually rarely ever saw them.

I've never seen a mouse hear, I've never seen a spider or waterbug. Not sure why this is happening.

Tips?


I know the refrigerator is damaged ad the freezer leaks a lot. Sometimes i leave dishes or leave too much water in sink area. I also notice neighbors doing a poor job at recycling, taking out trash properly, and just more litter in building and streets.

Bruh there's probably one or more nests in that bad boy.

You've got an infestation.

Borax

Looked it up, it's like baking soda? How will that help?






Funny I heard somebody selling this a few days ago

Yet the street pesticides themselves can exacerbate asthma. If eaten, they can be fatal. ''My concern is you could eat it and die, and the symptoms would be the same as the underlying condition,'' said Dr. Steven Frantz, a State Health Department research scientist who has investigated illegal pesticide use in New York.

The substances are particularly dangerous to children, he added, since they are often mixed with rice and placed on the floor.

The pesticides' active ingredients are registered for some uses in the United States, mostly agricultural. One of them, Tempo, is a trademarked pesticide that can be used legally by licensed exterminators. But it is being used in these neighborhoods at 200 to 400 times the recommended dosage, Dr. Frantz said.

Thought they no longer sold that. Don't want to get crazy about it, but I know when I was in college living in a shytt dorm, water bugs and mice were crawling all over my food and bed, and it was traumatic. It they were just in the kitchen, i'd just be patient.

Cockroaches succumb to boric acid when they crawl over treated areas. The tiny particles ofpowder adhere to the cockroaches' body, and the material is ingested as the roach preens the powderfrom its legs and antennae. Some boric acid is also absorbed through the greasy outer covering of the insect's body.

Like somebody said, Boric Acid.... seriously, if you put that shyt in the corners of your entire house, you can say bye bye to BUGS (not roaches really) for at least 5 years.

As far a roaches, you really gotta kill the source (the nest(s)) cause I've seen shyt that said roaches can survive a nuclear holocaust. And aint no bug spray in the world can compete with that. And you really wanna chill with the bug spray, cause too much can harm you if it's in your air....

So be careful.

You might have a neighbour who is breeding them. you treat them and they will disapear for a while but as long as there is a nest or conducive breeding ground near by you will never get rid of them.

had a major roach problem in my building. we own our apartment so simply moving out wasnt that simple. So I joined the residents association, very very unwillingly, targeted the trash area at the back and the mouse/rat and roach problem was cleared. by cleared i mean we see one roach once in a blue moon. gthen i renew the borax.

use borax and other non toxic slutions... they develop immunity to poison too quick and no point in poisoning yourself.

 

[CashmereThoughts]

I have NEVER seen them survive an effective boric acid treatment. NEVER.

Boric acid creates borders they can not cross with out dying. It's that simple. Fogger will kill the ones in your apt boric acid with cut off most of their entry points from outside into your apt. Use drain covers on sinks and tubs

Gnarly. So you want to prevent getting roaches. I'm not judging. I'm just saying, if they're there they showed up because they have a food source and somewhere to breed. You've got a nest somewhere. The longer you wait to find and destroy it the more roaches you'll get.

Call an exterminator. Don't be cheap about this shyt. You may have mice and some more shyt. Borax works, but you need to know how a roach thinks so you can locate the nest.

Roaches are hella hard to get rid of once they set up shop. They're like mice, designed to survive and they adapt very quickly. I'd consider moving or burning down your house TBH.
