Such an easy solution, but took time. See updates & current status
Initially, I was bummed because I didn't think this product was working. I was even thinking about buying another roach product. Don't -- just be a little patient. It took just over two weeks (17 days to be exact) to see the results (turned over cockroaches on their backs) after placing these baits around the house, with no live ones in site. Such an easy solution. So happy with this purchase! UPDATE: I was so excited to see dead cockroaches but it seems I have jumped the gun too soon. While I haven't seen any live ones, I just saw a cockroach egg sack (after viewing what it actually was online) for the first time in my life yesterday. So, unfortunately my problem is still not over. Even though I was hoping to avoid using any sprays, I'm going to use Gentrol IGR Concentrate (based on Amazon reviews) to keep the cockroach larvae from reproducing (but it apparently does not kill the adult population & should be used in conjunction with other solutions). I will provide an update later to let you know if these two solutions combined worked or not. 2nd UPDATE: Good news & bad news. I used to see large cockroach droppings and would occasionally spot cockroaches in my kitchen (in the corner, by my toaster oven) & other areas of the house. Good news: I placed the Combat bait behind the toaster oven & after about a month, all the cockroaches in kitchen area appear to be gone/dead -- with no more cockroach poop droppings. Hooray!!! Bad news: I just spotted a cockroach in my bathroom tub yesterday. I actually heard it flapping its wings when I turned on the light last night. OMG. Absolutely disgusting!!! The only thing I had nearby was a glass (see pic). It's still alive, as I'm afraid it will get away if I try to kill it. I only had one COMBAT bait station under the bathroom sink, but will buy some more so I can add one additional bait station in the bathrooms.
