Numbers and length , the guideline is the smaller the creature the extra useful the survival hazard. additionally for sure cockroaches can use stale undesirable high quality air and that they are able to consume basically approximately something. in addition they stay specifically situations deep underground.

Insects have nervous systems that are chemically different than vertebrate systems. The active stuff in raid is most likely something that messes up their nervous system. Pyrethrins among other things.
Although there are other nasty things in common pesticides that aren't so target specific, thanks to the money manufacturers make and give to elected officials there's only poor oversight at best.

I think roaches are tough and can take large amounts of radiation...but when you spray them directly they cant take it as well with the Raid.
