Will isopropyl alcohol kill a roach?

Question

Roach submersed in alcohol.

Answer 1

yes and vodka will too

Answer 2

If it is submersed in alcohol it will drown soon! But rubbing alcohol by it's self may not kill any roach! Good Luck!

Answer 3

I don't know, but my shoe usually does a pretty good job at killing a roach.

Hey you can light the alcohol with a match after you put the roach in there. That would probably do it. It'd be kinda cool to watch also.

Answer 4

Don't waste your time and go get the strongest thing you can buy. Make sure you look at the ACTIVE INGREDIENTS. some are mostly water. Take 15 min and read the labels and purchase the strongest concentrate. Then make a hot solution of it and put in a well marked bottle and don't forget to add the skull and crossbones to the label. Then when you see one of these nasty things you spray and it drops dead immediately and doesn't go scampering off to who knows where. Then get on a good spay regime I spay all baseboards all around the inside of the house then outside spray all around the outside and the windows and doors. Oh my gosh I can't stand them they give me nightmares. Yuck!

Answer 5

I seriously doubt it, but its worth a try to seek if it works. The alcohol may dehydrate them a little. Let us know your findings.
