This stuff WORKS if you use it correctly
UPDATE: It has now been ONE YEAR and there are still NO ROACHES. I moved to a new place.. also had roaches.. srsly wtf. I felt very secure knowing that this stuff exists. I laid it out before I even moved in and now.. NONE. This stuff is a MUST have if you live in the south.
After moving into an amazing old house built in 1850 in a great part of New Orleans, we quickly realized we had a pretty severe roach infestation in our kitchen. My landlord is a pretty absent landlord, and rented the place out to room mate situation college kids prior to us, so basically these kids kept the place pretty filthy. But the rent was right and just a few blocks from my daughters school. Anyway, they were everywhere at night. Truly truly disgusting. I grew up in NYC and never experienced anything like it before. I found this product on Amazon and based on reviews decided to try it. I applied it in every crack and between the joints of our cabinets, took out the drawers and dotted it in the sides of the drawers and in small dots behind the counters, behind the stove, behind the fridge. I put the gentrol disk under one of the cabinets. Then I waited. After day 1, I saw a noticeable reduction in the amount of live bugs. Day 2, a few less, but would see one or two. It has now been about a week. In the past two days I have found COUNTLESS dead cockroaches in my kitchen and have YET to come across a live one. I've seen some truly horrific dead roach situations that I wish I could unsee. However, this seems to be managing the problem and I will be sure to maintain in a few months with another application. Seriously if this could knock out the infestation we had, this can work for ANYONE. A few tips. Dot the product in small dots (smaller than a pea) about 4 inches apart in any cracks that you see. This includes under shelves in cabinets. Roaches hide there. Dot the product around your pipes under your sink and again, in between the joints. You want the dots to be small so the roaches are more likely to go try to snack on it (insert dry heave here). Be sure to get on top of your cabinets and keep your kitchen IMMACULATE while doing this and this will take care of the problem.
