I don't have a roach problem, but did have a ant problem. What happens is they (bugs) eat this and dehyrate and die. What i did was drill a small hole in the wall and went tot he dollar store and got one of those ketchup picnic bottle plastic and put some in that and then i sprayed inside the wall though the hole i drilled.can easily be fix later, i put painters tape over the hole and will get it there until i am done. But i would say yes to your question and this is organic so should not hurt animals or people. you can also put in the cabinets way in the back. It last a long time, i bought a 5 lb box also and still have half and that was maybe a yr ago or so. I use it in my gardens, inside the house and around the house. And i can say it works very well.

Insects are killed after coming in contact with the powder because it makes microscopic cuts in their exoskeletons and they dehydrate. I've never had a roach problem, but I've used it with great success for flea and ant control. I've read of others having success with roach control. Only use a light dusting, not a thick line, because roaches will crawl around what they see as a barrier. You want them to crawl through it.

This product works great on cockroaches. I spray around the edge of my entire backyard and the next day I go out and find cockroaches turned over either dead or kicking. It works great on ants too. It usually last about 3 months till you spray again.

Don't know for sure. We put it out about a year back and still don't have any little roaches running around. Have seen some of the very large "water bugs" but in the kitchen nothing. Great stuff. You won't regret trying it.

Our building was infested with Asian and German roaches and this killed them all. Throughout gestation roaches have different colors, so I'm not sure what type you have but just one tube killed all that were infesting the building (even after pest control sprayed, fumed, and bombed our place without results)!

Sounds like you need a new exterminator. Anyway, I would keep the exterminator out of your apartment and use these. Keep them out of the reach of children and pets. I have a 3000 sq ft house. Put 8 in the kitchen and 4 in each of the 3 bathrooms. After about 5 days haven't seen a cockroach since. It has been several months now.

Yes, we have had some horrible infestations in our rental properties. So I have only used this with other means. Make sure you put borax along run sites, under fridge, anywhere they have to pass to get to food source. Then we make sure all food cleaned up under fridge, stove, around toliets ect. Then I put drops of this where there nest are which usually is in kitchen. They track borax to nest which kills babies and the poison kills them. Drastic measures if bad infestation. Hope this helps. I have never had to reapply poison by doing this. But if this doesn't work it could be the neighbors house. I've seen this as well that's a whole nother ball game! Good luck

Never, I still have a roach problem. This doesn't seem to make a difference. The only thing this keeps away is the pigeons.

Pretty well but hasn't killed them all. over time I'm confident. There is a bait they make that seems to have good reviews. I'd look up German cock roaches.

yes it works really well follow the instruction you start to see roaches died in 3 days but it take time for them to be gone \

They eat it and die later. My dad's house was soooooooooooo infested, when you went to the bathroom it was like roach wars on the walls you would see like 9 at a time, and forget putting food down in the kitchen. I used all 4 tubes the first time I put it out, 100's of dead roaches all over the floor the next morning so it works fast. 1 month out and 7 tubes put out I find maybe one roach a day now. This stuff is AMAZING!!!! would on all kinds of roaches. He had flying Japanese ones, German ones, American ones, they are all dead!!!!!!

I have it out and I have big roaches come in from pine trees outside and I usually never see but one or two alive, one in a while. Most of the time I just fine dead ones. We have pine trees around and they get inside from time to time but usually all I see are dead ones. Not sure if this is what kills them but I do not have a problem with any roaches now.

yes It will kill them really well. They eat it and it don't kill them right away. They take it back to their nest. What they walk through it tracked back to nests to kill off the population. They crawl out looking for water (I guess since they turned up dead all around water sources) and then they die. The roaches not effected will eat the dead roaches and die too. (you won't have to leave dead roaches out...just good to know for ones that die inside walls) It is worth buying. Only issue I had Lynn was that I got 3 tubes when they advertised 4...but I wasn't even upset enough about it to bother contacting the seller. I was blown away with this product. yes It will kill them really well. They eat it and it don't kill them right away. They take it back to their nest.

I don't think it would be very effective unless you find where they are coming from. I spray ant & roach killer in the area where I see Them. We spray around the baseboards and the outside of the house about every month when they are active. But even the professionals have a problem finding a permanent solution. But the Ant-Zap is amazing.

I wish I could anwer your questions. I decided to go with an exterminator. I am uncoformtable with pesticides, but I have had no problems. I have pets, but no small children.

With Cypress Oil and salt water it does help eliminate roaches. It is not an overnight success but with time it does work and makes your house spell like peppermint.

After I bought this, I applied 2 times. After the 1st time until now I have not seen bed bug and roach. I left the dust around the wall and floor joined place and corner. I also opened the outlet cover and squeeze in the wall for 2 times. If your bed is close to outlet, you better open it and squeeze some dust between outlet and wall since there are some bug eggs may hide there.
