I’ve tried almost everything
Baking soda,
Boric Acid,
Spray,
Sugar spray but nothing seems to work. I am desperate. I keep a clean house and I just don’t understand where they come from. Any advice would be helpful. I need to get rid of them as fast as possible. Thank you.

Shoot em! Kidding best of luck with that all I ever heard is orkin man can pro. Exterminator. Maybe

Thank you integrity. I will try.

It's the eggs you can't get at

Put on the floor a large very shallow tray filled with beer. They can smell it, can't resist and overnight climb in, get drunk, and drown.

spray surface spray or plain fly spray around outside of all windows, doors, steps, and air vent holes, leaving a residue.

Bug bomb sprays are dangerous and potentially explosive, use with extreme care.

Have you tried electronic bug repellers. You can get them at Wal Mart..I have them in my house.. no buggies ..see if they will work for you..Look them up..and give that a try..

play Led Zeppelin max volume 24/7 for 3 weeks straight
their antennae can't take the pulsation and will turn
brittle and break off at the base rendering them senseless
and will wander aimlessly away from your house...

your welcome,

Bugman Dale

Especially Darlene.

You killed me with that one. Argo

Led Zeppelin..might work..unless of course your roaches are stoners in that case they might just wind up inviting their stoner friends.. .

Spray every 3 weeks...change formula every other treatment

Had roaches really bad in Missouri.
Moved into a house that already had them.

Consider doing a super clean, Look for nests, spray them dead and clean the nests with bleach.
You can also lay some cayenne pepper.
Insects breathe thru pores in their abdomens, clog them up with pepper.
They will also track the pepper back to their nests.
Same with powdered boric acid.
Also treat the outside foundation to prevent new ones from entering.

Back when grocers used paper bags, they hitched a ride with those but they can also hitch a ride in other cardboard boxes like cereal and instant potatoes.

If you see white (albino) roaches it indicates a big infestation.
Just recently it has been discovered that roaches are a form of termite and vice versa.

They will get into your electronics, in the heat of the fridge, oven, cupboards and under carpeting.

I found now, for the few wood roaches that get in that the low-cost spray killer works best along with a trail of cayenne pepper and boric acid powder. But I am not infested.

If you're seeing them in the daylight or after a light is turned on, you are facing a major infestation. Watch where they go, they will usually run home to their nest. Once you find the nest its easier to kill the infestation.

The X and I rid our home from a well-settled infestation but it took extreme measures to do so. Lots and lots of cleaning, spraying and stomping but we prevailed.
If you can afford an exterminator, do it.

Go get some Raid Concentrated Deep Reach Fogger (pack of 2) depends on how big of a area your house is... how many you will need...

I have bought the ones for fleas due to having a dog and that time of year,,

Cover up any fish tanks ect take all pets out you set them off and need to stay gone for a couple of hours...

Make sure you repeat in about 3 weeks when the eggs hatch if needed 3 weeks later do the same..

If you don't have pets the Boric Acid will kill them just takes time. Spread a thin layer of it around the baseboards behind appliances.

There is some stuff that is powder called Roach Away that you put out and it works too..

The Raid Fogger's work great just set them off and come back a couple hours later.. no mess no bad smells.. I only get the Purple can that is for fleas since it it works better to me on all bugs...

Yeah, we did the foggers (bombs) but back in the 80s when we were fighting it the foggers left a film residue on everything.
We opened all cupboards and drawers and ended up essentially having to wash everything.
Not sure about modern foggers? Been decades since I've needed to use one.

For fleas, we fogged but after we took a vets advice and gave our dogs that 'flea pill' the flea problem went away completely.

I used to get fire ants where I live now.
I found their trails into the house and blasted them with boric acid powder.
I also made up some boric acid solution and poured it into the mounds.
It killed the mounds but others poped up, fortunately those were further from the house.

I might get 3 wood roaches in the spring but they die quickly.
They're huge (yuk) and when they die they flip over, just like on the can (lol).

I mentioned this in the week, on the radio they have a fact session. they said that if you cut off the head of a cockroach it won't die. The reason it dies in a days is through starvation! ?
Any chance you could try this please lu?

Cockroach Guillotine! Sounds like a punk rock band name

I think I've seen them tom in the 70's

Sorry Lu.Fumigate your sorroundings not just inside your apartment.

Hi Lu. I hate bugs. I thought roaches liked hot humid climate. I lived in the southeast for a very short time and the only time I saw roaches. I'd probably just get an exterminator. Wish I could be more helpful.

Thank you everyone for the advice. I cant aford an exterminator. Ill use the spray and the boric acid for now.

Still try the beer trap thing to, it works with slugs in the garden!
It will only cost you a tin of beer!
