How would i use this to kill roaches?

I hate dirty roaches. I found DE very effective and I do not put it on base boards. Roaches can find food so I created a cheap accessible home made bait trap. Get a large plate of heavy cardboard, aluminum or kitchen ware and put a glob of peanut butter in the center. Sprinkle a good amount of DE around the pb on the plate and set it on the floor under a piece of furniture. Keep alternate food sources away from roach access so they are drawn to the pb. You'll notice tracks in the powder and find dead roaches. Since I don't have pets or children, I put the bait in every room.

Sprinkle the powder in the area where the bugs are, as they walk through the DE it will cover their bodies and strip the waxy outer shell and kill them.

I could not tell you; I have not had a reason to use it on roaches. It did not work too well for me on bed bugs, though.

I do not believe that it would work for roaches, they tend to run from light rather than being attracted to light.

Mix this oil with 91% isopropyl alcohol. The alcohol will kill the roaches you see and disinfect the area, the oil will leave a pleasant odor and hopefully repel any new roaches. Not sure why rodents and roaches are repelled by this (if they are),

I am not certain about this product....I brought it for outside and inside overall protection from everything....Now we have two rental properties on either side of us and it seems as soon as one is vacant the roaches come to our house. So in the past I have used Bengal products... http://www.bengal.com/ this works immediately and kills off roaches as well as makes them not able to breed....I have found this product at the local hardware stores. I've used the foggers and the can spray....it works. But the demon seems to work on everything else it might work on roaches but I just alway use the bengal cause I know it works.

yes it works really well follow the instruction you start to see roaches died in 3 days but it take time for them to be gone \

Insects are killed after coming in contact with the powder because it makes microscopic cuts in their exoskeletons and they dehydrate. I've never had a roach problem, but I've used it with great success for flea and ant control. I've read of others having success with roach control. Only use a light dusting, not a thick line, because roaches will crawl around what they see as a barrier. You want them to crawl through it.

I don't think it would be very effective unless you find where they are coming from. I spray ant & roach killer in the area where I see Them. We spray around the baseboards and the outside of the house about every month when they are active. But even the professionals have a problem finding a permanent solution. But the Ant-Zap is amazing.

It takes time but over the months you will see them disappear. It does kill roaches once they ingest it. It's great for killing other bugs as well. I usually apply it every 5 to 8 months.

It is a contact insecticide, so it wont do anything to kill the roaches that do not directly come in contact with the powder

I don't think it will make them more dangerous. Because the poison is contained inside of a plastic container, roaches have to come inside of it to get to the poison. The only way I can see them being rendered useless is if the exterminator sprays directly where the baits are. That will probably make the roaches less likely to go inside because of the chemical smell of the spray. If you use them in places that will not be sprayed, that should only make the extermination much more effective. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure since we don't have roaches. I would try it. I put some on my cats as a flea powder. It killed the adult fleas on them.

I use this product every 2 months and it works great for me. It kills a lot of different types of bugs and pest. If using it for the first time and have roaches bad use 2 pouches (4 pouches per envelope). Then use 1 pouch per month. You will see them drop dead. Also it will help alot if you use a IGR mixed with it (Gentrol Concentrate IGR Insect Growth Regulator). The IGR makes the roaches sterile so they can't breed and will kill the eggs that the female carries. Just 1 small bottle of the IGR makes one gallon but like I said it mixes with Demon WP. This seller also sells the IGR. Also take this advice from me, when you use it run your hot water till very hot. Then fill your sprayer if it's a 1 gallon sprayer half full. Drop in 2 packs of the Demon WP and let dissolve then fill 3/4 full and pour in your IGR. Put top of your sprayer on and shake to mix very well. Then open sprayer and fill to the 1 gallon mark. I had roaches really bad the first time I sprayed I killed most of them (don't expect them to just all die after the first spray, it won't happen). Spray every month order 2 Envelope's of this product and the 3rd time that you spray just pour in another bottle of IGR. You will see your roach problem gone. I did it this way and my roaches have been gone for 6 months. I have now started seeing one about once a week and as of this posting have ordered more of both Demon WP and IGR. I'm going to mix it 2 to 1. Even though 1 pouch will work just fine I live in a condo and my neighbors don't keep a very clean house. Remove all items from your cabinets (all cabinets) and drawers spray every where including the underside of your cabinets. Along all baseboards PLUS turn off your A/C or heat and spray the inside of your vents they live in there as well. Not for sure what "bdfields" was trying to kill. This does work.

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.

When baiting try to put bait where roaches are. 1 pea size droplet every 5 inches along cabinets and also treat hinge area. Take off all light and electrical socket covers and treat there as well. Pull out fridge and bait there as well. Treat under sink also German roach love water/humidity areas. I use this product daily in my pest control company works everytime. email if you need more assistance.

I used the powder to kill wasps/yellow jackets. I would imagine it does kill roaches, but this stuff is VERY toxic. I sprayed it inside my walls knowing it was not exposed to my family. Be very careful about where you put it.

Yes you can. I crush the camphor and mix it in a spray bottle with spearmint scented alcohol and shake it up. If I see them I spray it on them and they die instantly. If you have more roaches than you like, spray it around, the apartment is going to smell minty, and you will see less and less. Just remember roaches have a way of becoming immune to thins so, make sure to only use it when you need it. Family has been using this method for years.
