This stuff works! Read it if you have a bad roach problem, ours was BAD! Really quick, back story, my grandparents' home was BADLY INFESTED with roaches. Their home is under an NYC Train Track and across a public park, so lots of roaches. Growing up, there's normally some here and there but I guess because its summer now, my gosh, the amount was horrific and disgusting. It was so bad that at 2am one morning, I went into the kitchen and turned on the lights and there were 30+ roaches having a party scattered on the kitchen countertop and more along the dish rack, conventional oven, utensils holder, and floor. It was absolutely horrifying especially because they were all over our utensils and dishes. Once the lights turned on, they all swarmed into the cabinets for cover. I was only able to kill a few using the Raid spray. Concisely, this is what I did and this is what you need to do if you have a bad roach problem. Start with a THOROUGH DEEP clean of the house with where you've seen roaches. Find their homes and attack it hard with roach spray to get rid of them. We found many of them together in their homes with lots of roach poop, in the dish rack compartment, inside the toaster (video included), on top of the conventional oven, behind the towel wall holder since there was a small gap for them to enter, in the slit under the sink (lots of them in this one- pic attached), and lastly, many of them scattered throughout the kitchen in cabinets, etc. I wouldnt have noticed the 20-30 clinging on the bottom of the sink if I didnt aim my flashlight upwards. You NEED to be thorough. In the hard to see spaces in the cabinets, use a mirror to reflect the hidden spots. Under the sink was the biggest spot, we sprayed Raid upward, and let all the roaches fall to the cabinet floor. It was DISGUSTING. After doing a deep clean, use silicone to seal any areas you see roaches or ants enter. Seal it all off. After we did all that, we saw a DRASTIC decrease in roaches! But there were still a lot of stragglers and we were not OK with that. If you see more after, watch it to see where they go so you'll see where they enter and exit from or another home you've missed. This is key as we found another home behind the stove. With all this, a lot of roaches have been eliminated but there's always some here and there. We've used Raid spray (at least 10 cans), sticky traps (siliconed to the walls and under the cabinets to trap them when they're trying to climb to the counter tops at night), liquid baits (works mostly for ants though), boric acid and the poison pills. This gel bait was the last item we got to help with the situation. It came in the afternoon and we tested it on a roach we saw in the living room and the roach went for it so fast. A few seconds later, 5 more roaches and ants came out from behind the surface. We killed those and the roaches in the area immediately with Raid and that evening, we used about 1 syringe all over the house, in areas we know there are roaches frequently present. Squeeze it down low, in corners and cracks, and not a lot. Instructions say 1/4 inch but honestly even a little dab will get them coming out and they never finish it. And then wola!! Next morning, lots of dead ones. We continued to use it for a few days, about .75-1 syringe a night (as they come out at night when lights are off) in addition to sticky traps, and bam, lots of dead ones trapped and found dead the next morning. We see smaller dead ants now that the big roaches are gone. I'm not sure how long it takes for the product to hit them, but we've seen MANY roaches and small ants sluggish the next morning and cannot escape as fast as they used to. Concisely, we had a BAD roach infestation in my grandparents' 40 yr old NYC home. With deep and thorough cleaning to rid the current roaches and home (reactive approach), then lots of traps and gel bait after getting rid of the roaches (proactive measure), it is possible to get rid of the roaches. The home was badly infested before, with roaches day and night. We're definitely not roach free 100% as we still see a dead one here and there because of the home's location, but we are close to it and this product wrapped it up for us! GET IT!!!!!
