Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok, I have tried a lot of things for getting rid of cockroaches. Hopefully, someone will benefit from my experience. raid spray: It does kill on contact, but is expensive to spray all over the house and smells (while spraying and later). The hot shots spray is also equally effective, doesn't smell as much, but again, painful to spray everywhere. Plus, you have to be careful that kids (and pets, if you have any) should not touch the sprayed surface. boric acid powder: This is really effective, but very difficult to handle and dust all over the place, and clean up at a later date. I had gotten the hot shots brand bottle from lowe's. orange guard: It is apparently natural and safe around food and children, but I didn't find it effective at all. roaches walked all over it as if it didn't exist and it didn't contain them even after prolonged treatment. Also, it is very expensive. This Combat source kill gel: easy to apply. I can put it in cracks so no problems with kids and pets. It does attract roaches. I put a bead and soon 4-5 roaches gathered for a bait fest. They don't seem to die immediately. I had put it all over the house in cracks and crevices. Next day they seemed to have ingested a lot of the beads since many of those beads in high traffic areas just vanished. I see fewer roaches around the house the very next day, but I do see a lot of dead bodies (of roaches ;) ). Now let's see how long it contains the infestation. 5 day update: Now i dont have crawling roaches, only dead ones! And I would like to confess that I had a massive roach infestation, they were everywhere.
