?How can I get rid of Cockroaches?

Answer 1

You can use a repellent, pesticide, or you can hire a company to get rid of them. Depending on where you live though, it may be hard to eliminate them. My best solution would be to hire Orkin or some company like that... Good luck getting rid of them!

Answer 2

Bait is the best way and if you see a stupid roach dont kill it let it eat the bait and take it home to the family to kill them off. Also bomb your house *do under it 2 if you can* & spray outside. There are really good products in walmart in the outdoor section. (Where the plants are located) Use the outdoor spray bottle. BAIT is the best thing invented. I know this because my friend had Joes apartment and we tried everything. Repeat the treatment every month for up to 6 months until you no longer see the roaches. Then do it once a year to keep them away..

Answer 3

Here's what my friend did:
1.) Get a large, flat container (like the bottom of a box that 6 packs of coke come in).
2.) Cover the bottom with Boric Acid (you can buy this VERY inexpensively at WalMart).
3.) Drop some kind of food in the center of the box (my friend used a chocolate bar).
4.) Place these in several places around your home, but be sure to keep them away from children and pets (like in cabinets, etc...)
Within a month, my friend was roach FREE!
GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 4

If your in a house, you can call pest control and have them come fumigate the house, but if your in apt bldg, there is no hope for you. They live in the walls and are running in the basements/attic the only way to get rid of them is all is to fumigate the whole bldg and that costs a lot of money and I seriously doubt the landlord will care to do that, so your best bet is to move out.

Answer 5

Combat roach bait traps and powder boric acid. Keep away from pets and children. If you live in an apartment then complain to the landlord or keep putting pesticides down around the perimeter of your home. If you live in your own house then bug bomb and use sprays that kill fleas and scorpions. Those are the most powerful ones. Don't just ignore them-- those things can make you very ill.

Answer 6

There are companies specialized in cleaning the houses from cockroaches for cheap prices and there are also many chemical agents you can apply by yourself.
