Answer 1

They're comfortable at your place, ever heard this one? Birds of a feather, stick together? Well, the cockroaches are only returning to the nest. Truth hurts.

Answer 2

Boric Acid. The real stuff and not the junk like Roach Proof etc. that have only a small amount. I put in a jar lid and put a small piece of Bacon or something to draw them into the Boric Acid. Place under/back of lower cabinets and in places where Children and Pets can not get. It take a little time, but, usually in two weeks your problem over. If, you live in an Apartment or Duplex you will not get rid of them completely, unless everyone use the Boric Acid.

Answer 3

Buy the gallon bottle of Ortho Max for about $12-15 at the Home Depot. It has a small tube and sprayer. You spray like a professional. It's powerful stuff, and it's always good having the big bottle under the sink. It works great so just stay after the cockroaches once a week or so for about a month. Make sure to get to all the hard to reach places.

Answer 4

If your in a apartment the others will have to comply as well.
I have had great results with Combat quick kill formula,that last a year, they are the best. The motels come in sizes according to roach size. You can start out with the 3 month variety to get things under control. Moved into houses that were infested & wiped them all out,
You will have to keep all things clean & put away, no dripping faucets or water leaks this attracts them as well. Put up pet dishes at night until you solve your problem.
If in an Apartment maybe you all would want this big quanity.
www.become.com/shop?q=combat+quick+kill - has a picture of the product I get mine from Walmart. only this brand works well.

Answer 5

First you have to find out which type of roaches you have.If there the large variety then they come from outside in the yard and trees but if there the small kind with alot of little ones then those are the nasty house kind.When I spray for pest I put foggers in the attick,spray entire house inside then go outside and spray peremiter as well.To get the best results when you buy bug spray look for the most % killing chemical in the product.I spray when it starts to get cold outside then right at spring;pest control is like maintaining your yard...fertilize twice a year.Also they have pest spray for the lawn because bugs do live there to so don't just buy a spray just for roaches buy something that kills all.The better sprays come from country feed stores.

Answer 6

Actually cockroaches are cleaner than most bugs. To git rid of them; first check and see what is around your house, second make sure food and other things/items that would attract them. Also may seem weird again, but I collect them and put them in a jar, and place them somewhere far from my home or even in a different yard!!!

Answer 7

Try products with "boric acid" in them. Some brands I've used are Roachpruff and Croak-a-Roach. It's always worked for me.

Answer 8

Little buggers ahve been around since the stone age. Boric acid, or Borax powdered soap. Good luck

Answer 9

A little sugar mixed with boric acid under all the cabinets and stove. Spray Malathion solution everywhere under sink cabinets and all crevices.

Answer 10

Get rid of all open food sources. Promptly clean all dishes and food surfaces. As long as food is around, they will be around. Call a commercial exterminator to spray/fumigate the house.
