I have a studio apartment that has a roach problem. I also have a dog and two cats. Is there a good roach killer that is pet safe?

you don't want to know why I know this
take some mason jars and vasaline. Rim the inside lip of the jar with vasaline for about 1/2 inch down. put nummy smelling stuff in the jar (fruit, meat, whatever)
leave these traps out EVERYWHERE. kitchen counter, under the sink... dark places are best.
after you catch them, you gotta figure out a way to kill them yourself!!! they can get in, but they can't get out cause of the vaseline. I caught roaches and released them for a project for college... its nasty, but it works!!!

Safe bet would be to buy roach traps. They go in and never some out! You can also get raid industrial spray. It comes with a long straw to connect to the nozzle. spray in all corners, cracks, etc. They like to hang in the bathroom and kitchen so target those places the most. Also since it's an apartment, tell the landlord to come in and spray. It could be coming in from other apartments too.

combat gel is the best to work on roaches

You can also do the vaseline thing, but put Coke in the jar. They drown.

They are there until you call pest control. Good luck!
