How do I keep a cockroach from never come in my house again?

Answer 1

beer and venom, never fails.

Answer 2

Treat your home for cockroaches and keep debris away from the surrounding footprint of you house. No piles of wood. leaves, etc. This is also often a source for rats and mice.
Also keep the area where food is eaten and prepared, and the floors, impeccably clean for a few weeks. This is good practice anyway.

If your neighbor's property is very close, or have adjoining walls, this could also be the source.
I once lived in an apartment building with a high turnover rate in the apartments beside mine. With changes in neighbor's, I would get one or two cockroaches coming into the apartment. Actually, once you see a couple, there are many more you don't see. The problem didn't stabilize until the tenants stabilized.

I hate those things.

Good Luck.

Answer 3

dude Raid never works unless u enjoy killing them one by one and slowly watching them die. Go to a store and ask them for some kind of stuff that u put on your kitchen walls (sorry forgot the name) which stops the roaches from being able to mate. I never had to see a cockroach in that apartment again.

They are pesky little critters!

There are things you can do. Roaches normally live outside and eat dead and decaying leaves and plants. They live under the bark on trees and can live inside walls and crawlspaces. So rake all leaves and debris from under your shrubs and from around the foundation. This will get rid of a lot of their food supply and living areas. If you have thick ground cover, thin it out or cut it short.

Seal as many cracks and holes around the outside of your house as you can. Caulk around windows and doors etc. Put steel wool in weepholes to keep them out while still allowing your foundation to breathe.

Treat all around the outside of your house with a commercial insecticide for roaches and follow the label directions. Treat around doors and windows as well as around the foundation. Put a good granular bait in a 3 foot band around the foundation, especially in the shrubbery areas. Be sure not to overdo it, because you don't want animals or pets to get sick. Just follow the directions on the label.

Generally treatment inside your house won't really help much, but treatment around pipe entry places (under the sink, under kick plates in kitchen, etc.) with boric acid will help. If you have a crawl space you can put baits under the house. Check at Lowe's or Home Depot for the products.

You might see a few more roaches than normal after you do the treatment, but activity should slow down or stop after a day or so.

These links will help. Best of luck with it.

If you sprinkle Boric Acid powder along the floor, and baseboard, and behind cabinets, stove, and refrigerator they may still come
in, but only once. Boric Acid is the same powder as "Roachpruf", but at one tenth the cost. +
