does this work when the product is already dried and roaches walk on it or does the area need to be wet in order for it to work?

I use the product twice a year on the outside aound the perimeter of the house and inside in the basement. I am basically bug free.

I don't know about the roaches, because our main insect problem was with ants, earwigs and spiders. I do know when you put it down it needs to have time to dry in order for it to have a lasting effect. We usually put it around the outside of the house and then also the inside of the house. The only time we end up with bugs is when we delay in putting it down. Been using it for 4 years now and I'm hesitant to try anything else. This works well so I'm sticking with it.

I would say, "not immediately after application". You can find the instructions, etc.. here: http://pbigordon.com/pdfs/SpeedZoneLawnWeedKiller-SL.pdf "* Do not allow people or pets to enter the treated area until sprays have dried."

It does work better if pre-soaked. I've used it dry but it's not as effective.

It works great. I have different types of roaches that i see come out and die right in front of me within 24 hours of spraying. I used this product about 4 months ago and i haven't seen a live insect yet.

Sorry I don't have cockroaches in my area. It's mostly Stink Bugs and it was very effective and killed them all. I would get around 30 stink bugs each day entering my apartment and now it's none!!! I love this product in regards to stink bugs.

It is slow but also permanent. There is no other way to completely eliminate roaches without routine spraying of toxic insecticides. This product took about 3 months before almost all were gone and six until all were gone.

The patio floor will become wet only if the relative humidity is very, very high. Most hots days even with high relative humdity the moisture will stay around a bit longer. The product does work but you have to keep it clean (nozzles) and it must be near an AC outlet and obviously a water (hose) connection. Also, don't put it right in front of you at a very close distance as the high fan setting with moisture spray will leave a little damp spots here and there. However, the whole point of the device is to cool the air around you with a mist spray.

Didnt work at all. I saw maybe a few dead roaches and I used about 10 cans. Some of the cans did not work at all. They were still intact when I came home.

YES it does, very effectively. I have used it and told others of it who also use it successfully. Roaches (even the big roaches), spiders, and other inside pests. Sprinkle genourously (but not real thick-doesn't take that much) under your sinks, behind your frig, and so forth. Leave it alone and in a little time ... you will notice your pests are gone. I have used since the 1970's and I just put it out and forget it. Vel from Texas

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.

I didn't try it w/fire ants-put a dab of this gel in the apartment once( 2/3 of one tube), all pesky roaches were gone in one week!! Our apt manager then bought the rest of our supply because nothing they used seemed to really work. On fire ants the stuff from Walmart w/a fire ant pic on it-the instructions say wet the granules after putting in and around the mound but I seem to get better luck not wetting it.....does Amazon sell fire ant killer?

i use it in my storage shed which is near the woods(forest). roaches will march through. I solved the problem by using roach prufe. i sprinkle a thin line around the inside edge of the building about 3 inches wide. the roaches breath through their bottoms under the legs, so they walk through and basically sufficate themselbves. they take themselves out into the woods for a breath and die. no fuss no muss.

You don't have to get into cracks and crevices that's hard to reach. Just put a thin line about 3 inches in diameter as close to the opening of the area as you can and if you can buy some gentrol growth regulator spray and spray in there to stop them from breeding or becoming adults. This stuff is FANTASTIC !! Havent seen a roach in 6 months. I am going to refresh in about 2 days so I wont see any for another 6 months !! This time I will put it in totally different areas than the last time . Hope this helps.

If you type "YouTube drione" or similar into your browser, there are nearly a dozen videos which will help. I would think you would need to find the holes as well, but a couple videos seem to suggest if you're close that may be enough. In my experience (roaches not bees), I had to do some guessing, and it took more than one treatment, but it was very effective.

It is a contact insecticide, so it wont do anything to kill the roaches that do not directly come in contact with the powder

This product can be used on a variety of crawling insects such as ants, earwigs, cockroaches and more. It is important to keep in mind that this product will become ineffective when wet.

Yes, they suggest that you spray the area with water to activate the product. We have used this product for two years and find that it is the best for preventing new weeds. It doesn't really help for existing but does prevent new growth.
