You could use only gel bait and a caulk gun, but It's a game of patience (takes two weeks or a month depending on the level of infestation), Get roach gel bait, dry all wet surfaces (sinks, floors, put sponges in zip lock bags) and put away all food (seal and refrigerate possible food surfaces, clean floors) to make the gel bait their only food source. After that, apply a pea sized amount of the gel bait on a napkin and place them near hard to reach places like next to electronics and wall sockets (or anywhere you see activity). At night, the roaches will come out and eat the bait, returning to the nest where they will die and spread the bait when others eat their dead body and or feces. In this time, seal up any cracks in the wall that roaches can use to hide, if you can't seal it, continue treatment in that area until they are all gone. Don't be afraid or discouraged when you begin seeing roaches in the day or more at night, this is good as you are destroying their homes and they are forced to look for new ones. Keep it up, don't let up. Replace the bait every two weeks or when all the bait has been eaten. REMEMBER to use TWO types of roach gel bait, because after a while, roaches will learn NOT to eat the same bait. Once they get used to the bait, switch gel bait formula. Also, place bait 5 inches apart and DO NOT apply the gel in large or long pieces, as roaches will only eat bait that is small enough for their mouths. Many people will complain that the gel bait they always have used, no longer works, this is because their roaches have learned not to eat it, SWITCH up formulas. I recommend alpine rotation 1 and 2. Once you see little to NO roach activity, day and night, continue mild treatment, only place gel baits in areas you know have had, or can have the most roach activity. Continue because there might still be eggs laying around and these can restart entire infestations. This how I solved MY roach problem.
This is the kind of pro id like to hire. Every exterminator that comes in my house sticks around for less than 5 mins and leaves. Dont know who craig is, but ima find out.
@@ericmorel8325 I had an exterminator come today. I scrambled to empty out kitchen cabinets. He only wanted to know where I saw them. He started spraying. I don’t know how toxic the spray is, but he was like don’t worry, just clean the area. Am I being paranoid? Or is it hard to concentrate on only the corners when you spray in a kitchen? Anyone have knowledge on this?
I work for Orkin, deal with this non stop. Very nice video. Didn’t go into sealing up inaccessible voids often found in kitchen cabinets etc, or using dusts if that’s not available, but this video is spot on. Including the chemical list. Here’s your list, use a non repellent residual (alpine wsg, phantom, tandem, temprid fx, etc) spray every area your food is not in contact with, baseboards, hell even along ceilings and ac vents if need be. Sometimes they might be in furniture, you can spray all non skin contact areas (also useful for bed bugs). Also mix with an IGR, or use an IGR separate whatever. Bait the hell out of the kitchen and bathroom and all known problem areas. Advion , Avert etc Use dusts in electronics and outlets areas if they are infested as well. Delta, cimexa, whatever. Use monitors like the video guy said, replace bi weekly / monthly if need be. A lot of time spray will run on walls and ceilings, in this case use an aerosol.
Dear Sir That was Fantastic ! I've learned more in your 9 minute video than any of the dozens I've watched! Thank you so very much for sharing your skills & Knowledge !
Great and to the point video. Absolutely no filler content, which is becoming more and more intolerable as time goes on. Well done. What is your opinion on using powders as well?
I've lived in a 2-bedroom apartment for 20 years and started getting an infestation of roaches. Right now, I see them in my kitchen and bathroom, but I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOING INTO ALL THE OTHER CARPETED ROOMS. The pest control company that my apartment complex sends sucks, that's why I'm trying to tackle this myself! I started using Advion gel baits, and it's working; however, I'm still seeing roaches and, what's worse, babies. I have 2 cats, so I place the bait in areas where the cats won't reach. I was going to purchase Temprid FX Insecticide spray to use in conjunction with the bait. Is spraying Temprid safe for cats and my family? I'd also appreciate any other advice. Thanks!
Kokopuffs Tolbert Temprid combined with Tekko (an IGR) sprayed inside your Kitchen and bathroom cabinets as well as inside the back part of your fridge, behind stove will work well if you have your cat because the cat won’t be able to get there. Make sure the cabinets are completely cleared out, and draws. If you wish the spray the rest of your home, lock up or remove the cat for a minimum of two hours and spray where the base board touches the carpet. Make sure you always treat well where there is moisture and heat
Kokopuffs Tolbert another thing and it may sound weird but putting double sided tape along the base board as close to the carpet as you can (works better in areas without carpet will catch a lot of roaches, they primarily follow baseboards and edges of cabinets because they like the sides of their bodies touching something. Just replace the tape weekly or sooner depending on how dirty it gets
Is it possible to find an old roach nest? I found one there were a lot of droppings and two dead roaches I sprayed but nothing came out and also I never saw any roach coming out from that place
@@kirisutegomen12 if it's small enough or you can find huge trash bags to fit your electronic device that is infected put your device in the garbage bag with rubbing alcohol soaked wet paper towels and tie up the bag nice and tight. Poke very small holes in the bag and set in a garage or closet for 24 hours and to be extra safe 3 days.
So how do you get these P&G(?) sticky/roach hotel traps? I like the idea of a sex hormone. The traps I use are pitiful AND roaches avoid them - I have watched them crawl right up to the trap and purposely avoid it completely!
Vaccum those suckers under the drawers, I got roaches for the first time in my apartment and it's been almost a month doing everything to get rid of them, I even vacuumed on them for them not to run
you want to spray those roaches so they take the chemical back to their pest. Vacuuming is like Raid. It'll take care of one or two. but those 1-2 will kill 50-120 behind the walls
Weird question but any idea if a product like Bifen IT, Tempo SC or Suspend will harm car paint? I have a swarm of ants on my 4 cars with thousands of ants walking around and I'd like to retire them before they go back to their nests.
I'm not a professional. I just covered my entire bathroom and kitchen with boric acid powder. Tomorrow I'm making bait balls to throw everywhere. I cut up glue traps and taped them around power outlets and switches.....and the pièce de résistance......cottage cheese boric acid mix to be placed in dining room, kitchen, bathroom.
@@evaddave8311 Yes. I just finished ripping apart my apartment to do a deep clean. I didn't see a single roach adult or baby. I guess just sprinkle it along doorways, around water sources and remove food sweep mop areas with lots of crumbs
Had a refrigerator leak for like 2 months starting seeing roaches only in kitchen and upstairs bathroom just bought some boric acid and traps hope it works been here almost 2 years never seen anything this serious, oh and I'm a neat freak so I'm kinda pissed my land lord took so long to replace fridge.
I saw a quick black skinny kinda long (for how skinny it was) bug I don’t know if it’s a cockroach but it’s got pretty small antenna and I didn’t get to see if it had wings exposed I don’t know if you can identify bugs well and I didn’t give a big description
I have another question I wanted to call Terminix and they said they don't have a callback number the only way they can get in touch with us as if they call me and we're supposed to give our credit card information to people who don't have a call back number how is that right
That's not professional they must have a hotline and listen to their customers and every pest control has a stricked follow up service try another company
Do you think somebody some of these people just don't want to see the roaches they don't want to deal with it even though it's their job they just need a job that nobody else wants and they just got hired but they just do a quick spray and get out because none of the people they always tell the people to leave so nobody's watching them who's going to know
I'm a pest professional and let me tell you this that insects can be extremely dangerous specifically when you running a restaurant etc one cockroach and you lose more then 100 customers
What is a roach killertell people what kind of bait to buy you did not when you're speaking about roach killer you must call the name of the use like to call the name of the product to kill get the name of the what's
Is it possible they will return? I live in a new york apartment and was wondering if there is a point to get rid of them or call pest control if they will just come back eventually
if you don't take well care of your property the might come back. it's best for people to just keep an exterminator or dyo... something you might not know and you will bring them home in boxes or furniture you buy, just like termites.
Advion, Is all you need. Stop listening to men who drive white vans. Advion I learned about 20yrs ago. Thank goodness haven't seen a roach in that long of time. I thought, they came with every house.
Lol I work for terminix for 14 years & I can already tell this dude brings home all types of larvae/eggs like bed bugs roaches etc the way he’s crawling under the sinks etc … let the tools do 75% of the work for you dude
I don't believe any of these professionals will come here and give you any helpful information. It's not in their best interest to do that. That's exactly why nomatter how much of these advises you follow, your roach problem doesn't go away. I believe one of the main advantages they have is that they can purchase chemicals that the ordinary public cannot. They are just here to market themselves.
Crazy how we are responsible for the extinction of several species, however we can't make pest like cockroaches go extinct.
Crazy
Poachers in Africa are poisoning watering holes with cyanide to kill elephants.Makes me sick.

He's also someone who does work on residential kitchens. I feel thats a much more serious job and payment than just a private house.
Yeah, when I had roaches in my apartment all the pest control guy did was spray a little, and it didn't do a damn thing.
Not ALL of us exterminators are like that. SOME of us actually do the job correctly.

Quick question for you sir. Would you ever use delta dust inside of a commercial kitchen when treating for German Cockroaches?
More specifically, would you put it on counters or on the ground behind units? Or even inside of cabinets used to store food?

Dear Sir
That was Fantastic ! I've learned more in your 9 minute
video than any of the dozens I've watched!
Thank you so very much for sharing your skills &
Knowledge !
They also will hide in the fire alarms
They hide in all appliances when heavy infestations!
Do we apply bait to the sticky traps, or
To the area we have sprayed?
Very good information and demonstration along with explanations. Thank you sir.
super awesome and very informative video! thank you!.. can you tell me what brand model is the spray equipment your ar using in the video?
Typically in the pest control field we use a 1 gallon hand held sprayers from B&G
The gel bait dries right out do the roaches still eat it ?
Very informative video, thanks. We just got these things in our kitchen last year, I wish I knew how fast they multiplied back then.

To get rid of them put some bait in a large garbage bag with the computer for a week. To keep them from coming back throw away the computer.😉😉
Found a new product made by Bayer but is way to expensive bout a grand for one 12 onz ..it's not sold here only in central America in think
Why they call German. Were this pest imported by accident in ships?
It's cause they mainly live in dense forest. My house got an infestation by bringing firewood in from being stored :/

Why do both cockroaches and humans have the word "German" attached to them, when it comes to invasion?
Because if you see many of either it's an infestation.
There are Asian ones. They're really big and they fly.

I guess Vapoorize didn't work out so well
