Cockroaches How To Kill Them
 

I saw some cockroaches in my cupboard. I've never had themm before. What is your best way to kill them?

walk on them

Flip them on their back. They get stuck, they can't get back on their feet and eventually die.

I do it all the time I'm in Spain.

Seal off every possible entry route, dont leave food out. clean with bleach water

good luck, they are amazing creatures, can even survive nuclear radiation. Where there is one there are many especially if that was an adult female. Hope it was a german roach and not american, the german ones are small and do not fly like the american ones. Even if you do not leave food out they eat anything including wood, glue, clothing fibres etc etc. Just spray with an insecticide along the base boards and door and window openings and you will see them a lot less.

RedShoe wouldn't like this thread :glugglug

They fly?

That new injectable gell poision/food actually kills the fuckers before they can adapt. I went into all out war on them in one of our rentals.

1. Bomb with twice as many foggers (turn off piliot lights). Oh use various brands, not all same type.
2. Gell everything.
3. Borric acid all cupboards, under sink etc.
4. Re-bomb. Again various brands.

Should be good to go.

Don't turn on the lights, quietly spray some flammable liquid on them, drop a match in the middle, and watch the show as a dozen little fuckers run burning in circles. :glugglug

I live in alaska, and the only icky insect thing here are bees.

I stayed in tuscos arizona for 5 months b4, and man that shit is fucking sick

Steping on it might work, dont you think so.

Well I know a nuke is not going to help you.

Id just call someone that does it for a living and let them deal with it.

no need to kill them just put them in a box and ship them off the Redshoe

Never stamp on them, that's how the eggs get dispersed.. I have never had them until I came to Spain.. little fuckers were everywhere, coming from the neighbours. Ah the hazards of renting an apartment here ... Bleach works wonders (Domestos) 3 times a week, bleach everywhere and everything, little fuckers move for a while, then the bleach starts burning them and they "do a little dance" then flip on their back and die.

Boric acid.

Move?

Actually all roaches make a chitenous pouch called an egg sack, looks like a purse with spikes on the top for most of the roaches. (friend of mine keeps madagascan hissing roaches)
If you break it they die so stepping on them is fine as long as you step REAL hard and clean everything up and do not leave the sack in the trash sitting there to hatch by just throwing the mess away.


Yeah the strain with the common name American Cockroach do fly, they are pretty large and make a lot of noise when they are flying around.

Have you guys ever seen "giant" cockroaches?? I mean like REAL giant ones? I saw one awhile ago and it was disgusting! It was HUGE, and I mean HUGE, I didn't know cockroaches could be so big... It was almost 2 inches long I think! And the worst is when they fly.... I screamed so loud the neighbours probably heard it and thought someone was getting attacked, I felt like I was in a freak show/horror movie. Never seen anything so disgusting and repulsive before, I still have nightmares about it...

stomp on them or just use raid

:helpme Those are disgusting! I used to have some, but it was my own fault because I always leave food out when eating.. I am lazy and just don't clean up right after I eat because I'm too busy on the computer and I always leave crumbs and dirty dishes all over and don't clean up until weeks, sometimes a month :helpme after...

.... Roaches are sick...

Call a bug guy and get your place fumigated. They're resilient little fuckers, but you can get rid of them if you're willing to play tough.

WHy would you kill them? They make great pets, just ask Redshoe about it.

Yeah, don't kill them. They are part of your family now..

I usually catch them and let them free in my neighbors yard :winkwink:

... they sure do.

I use an electronic device that emits a high pitch signal that keeps them away.

You will be roach free for months

apparently, (haven't tried yet) if you sprinkle baking soda on the floor it will get on their feet as they walk over it. They'll lick it off, then the baking soda reacts in it's digestive system and starts to expand. Because they are unable to burp or fart they simply explode - same as a bird with rice.

when you start hearing multiple pops you know the fuckers are on their way out :)

buy the roach motels see if that helps

i've heard this also they're pretty hard to get rid of your best bet would to clean with bleach and to not leave food and perishables out where they can be in contact with the little buggers and buy roach traps and shit they're pretty cheap

this will definitely do the job for you.

Mix some sugar with the baking soda. The sugar will attract them. The baking soda will make their stomach expand as cjmad explained. Their stomachs will explode thus resulting in a beautiful roach death scene.

We live in a nice house in Palm Springs. Have an exterminater come spray inside and outside each and every month. Anyway, it's been over 110° for over a week now. The other night I saw a HUGE roach climbing up the wall. About 3 inches long and inch and a half wide. The fucker's head moved around seperate from it's body. Freaked me out. slammed it good with a shoe. Having the exterminater come again on Monday. Unfortuntely I had a model come the next day (Friday), so couldn't have him come then. I love the desert except for these monster roaches. Thank god that's the only one I've seen INSIDE!
