what are some easy way i can kill cock roaches with stuff i have at home and ways to keep them gone?

Answer 1

I don't know any at home tips other than keep your kitchen imaculate. If you have problems with them getting into containers like flour or sugar, you might want to put these items in the fridge as soon as you get home from the store with them.

The thing that worked for us is a paste called "Roach Gone" I think Raid puts it out....our not so neat neighbors moved and we were infested in days! not to mention the 2 mice we inherited...but we have cats for that *hehe*

Be sure you put it somewhere you see them the most and if you have pets or small children, make sure it's out of reach for them.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Here is my answer based on my experience of living in an apartment where no amount of chemicals, poison, boric acid, or whatever would get rid of them. Here is how I did it.

The key is using caulk to seal up all the places that roaches like to nest. These places are always near water, like the kitchen or bathroom. The most likely places are the cracks between the floor and the baseboard moulding on the wall, and at the top of that same moulding. Seal it up everywhere. If your roach problem is bad enough you may have to go around the entire room.

Next is the long crack where your kitchen counters meet the wall, especially near the sink. Roaches like to nest where it is dark and where there is very little headroom above them, so the space between the kitchen counters and the wall is paradise.

There is a way to use boric acid without danger to your loved ones. If you find cracks to seal at the baseboards, before you seal them, you can brush some boric acid through the crack before sealing it. Likewise, you can put some behind the counter before sealing it up. Boric acid does work great. It is not a poison, so roaches cannot become resistant to it. Instead, when the powder gets on them they ingest it when they clean themselves, then it swells up in their stomachs and kills them when they drink.

The key is sealing everything up. After that you can place small amounts of the various poisons and traps to kill the roaches that are still there, i.e. the ones that now have no place to nest but are still hanging around.

If you believe that you have sealed everything up and still see roaches, then you have missed something. If you see a roach, instead of killing it, just follow it to see where it goes. Then seal up that spot. If you can't seal that spot then place a small amount of poison there. (There is a small tube of roach food poison sold that is good for that.)

Finally, if you have sealed everything up and still have roaches, do you have carpeting near the problem? The roaches can nest under the carpeting, although in my experience it was under the baseboard and under the carpeting right next to it.

Good luck.

Answer 3

keep trash out. keep kitchen clean. no dirty dishes. no food left behind.
get borax from dollar store and sprinkle it on floor near wall., especialy in basement. borax kills more then just roaches. so its good. you can put it in a sugar shaker adn shake it around in basement.
aslo treat the outside of the house the same. all around the edges of the house and ground.
they walk on it and take it back to the nest adn it kills them.
eats their legs off... yuck!
also you can buy a spray for roaches and other bugs adn spray the yard and home with it. bombs too.
you can also have a pro come in the home. have them come back a couple of times. adn then do it yearly. to keep the bugs away.
