In AZ we have roaches that can move furniture. They're HUGE, is this contraption capable of picking up large roaches? Thanks

My brother lives in Houston where the huge tree roaches (3-4 inches) come inside. He uses his spider catcher and says if you can catch them (they're fast) then the catcher holds them long enough to be released outside.

That's a tough question! I've caught pretty large spiders but don't really have roaches here. The thing has been pretty damn great though. It would still be worth it for the other bugs if it didn't work for the roaches lol

I have not had the chance to use it on a roach however, my guess is that it would. I have been very happy with mine. The only thing it doesn't do well is get extremely small spiders (1/16 inch diameter / 0.1-0.2cm size) and a spider on the curved edge of bottom of bathtub (you end up poking it which harms it) however, if you first push the spider onto the flatter surface it works fine.

So it definitey IS big enough to get the roaches, however mine stopped working about six months into using it. When I would pull the trigger handle it would open but it wouldnt close quicky... like the spring wore out or something. So it definitely works, the question is just for "how long?" Still a cool buy and a great Christmas gift.

I think it can handle the task! Assuming you're fast enough to catch them! My husband caught a really big spider with this!

I think so...Mine also became hard within a couple of days but i have not seen ANY roaches running arnd the apt, approx. 1-2 weeks after using it unlike earlier when I would always find roaches in the kitchen, restroom and sometimes even in the living and bed rooms! I think I have used it twice in the last 1 year or so.

It picks up hair floor my laminant flooring, which is amazing. I can't even sweep up the hair with a broom no matter how hard I try. I could honestly say that this was one of the best purshaces I ever made. I'm pretty sure it can pick up the pine needles. I used it to clean my car and it picked up all of the dirt and sand in it, I live close to the beach. I never tried picking up kitty litter, so I can't answer that question for you.

My experience is that yes it will pick up larger objects. Haven't experienced nuts before but it has picked up large leaves and small pebbles. You will have to brush the curved walls. It will do okay but won't get everything from walls even when they aren't curved.

Yes. The roaches we first got were only the very large ones. This stuff works as well as the exterminators at a fraction of the cost.Year 2 and I only occasionally see a roach now after apply last year

not extremely, but like a pint size Hoover. I don't think it would be good for that unless you take them out of cage and away while you do that.

I wouldn't recommend it. This thing has to attract the bugs before it can zap them. You'll find yourself in a swarm.

Your house is not the optimal habitat for this species of roaches. Unless your home stays around 90 degrees, you will be fine. Also they have a specific diet that isnt found just laying around your home. The roach will eventually die. They also tend to lose energy from not being in 90 degree heat, they become very slow and easy to catch. Most literally just stop moving after awhile. If these were regular common roaches, it'll be a different story. But these are dubia roaches who thrive in a tropical environment, which your house surely is not. (I had a few escape before. They didnt survive too long. I found them later.)

No. I think the space is too tight for the roaches to all survive for any length of time.

Well since it's poison I would avoid placing bait stations if your pet is apt to play or chew it. There is no odor so I don't know if a pet would be attracted to them. They have self adhesive on back so you can place them on sides of cabinets, walls etc in places where pets cannot reach but roaches crawl. I would probably do that if you are concerned.

Invict Gold surely did a great job for me...just put a few dots in places that you see signs of roach activity. You will start find dead roaches as soon as the first night.

Yes it does.... better than anything else I tried. I had Orkin and that didn't work, but this worked almost immediately. I haven't seen a roach since Nov 2013. I am going to set more out at about 10 months, just to be safe. :)

I never had roaches to been with. Upon my purchased, I only witness having mice. I have not seen any mice since I plugged in the device into my wall. It is a really powerful product, compare to other ones I purchased in the past.I have not seen any bugs, rodents, or insects since I bought it. I would highly suggest buying one.

Sorry I don't have cockroaches in my area. It's mostly Stink Bugs and it was very effective and killed them all. I would get around 30 stink bugs each day entering my apartment and now it's none!!! I love this product in regards to stink bugs.

Hi, I do not own a parrot or any other bird for that matter, but, to answer your question, this dyson model is fantastic in picking up just about "anything". I use different attachments, depending on the type of floor your cleaning. The dyson canister has no problem picking up all of the above items you mentioned and then some. I have a house cleaning business and using this vacuum has picked up MANY items including pens/pencils, scarves/socks, small toys parts, coins, etc. The suction is very powerful. Hope this answered your question!

I don't know about roaches but it certainly works for fruit flies, mosquitos, and gnats indoors.

It doesn't really "pick up" more than dust, but will push large chunks into a pile. It's great for quickly sweeping large spaces. I wouldn't necessarily call it a detail/nook and cranny cleaning tool though.
