I put about 1/4" dots of the paste on the floor at the base of the cabinets, behind my washer and dryer, in the bathrooms along the walls. Yes, it does still work after drying but I did re-apply it in the same manner every 6 weeks about 3 times, then every 4-6 months until I had no more problems. If I see even 1 roach, I do it all over again! Be sure to put it where pets won't get to it.

Please just buy some Diatomaceous earth...fixes any crawling insect problem fast!

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.

I'm really not sure I know that this stuff has some peculiar smell and they smell it, and probably even when it is hard. What I did. Which was an idea I saw in someone's review was to put little balls of the stuff on pieces of tissues and put it in different areas so that I would know where I put it and check to see if they ate from it. I was always able to tell if they nibbled at it. I haven't had roaches since and I live in a row home. This stuff is better than hiring an exterminator. A friend if mine knows someone who calls himself an exterminator and all he does is take this stuff and charge big bucks for putting it in the persons house!

Hello. Each drops are usually good for three days, in-order for the drops from drying out, here is a simple solution, I lay down a small line of peanut butter with jelly and put the drops on the peanut butter, and mix it in which prevents the drying out. I also have another trick, I lay down drops of water on the floor and the peanut butter jelly mix right next to it and next thing you see after two days most of the roached expired. The nutritional diet of a roach is very similar to a human being, such as food and water. Hope this helps.

I recently discovered that yes, they do still eat it when it gets hard! Since my earlier reviews, I continue to see just a couple of roaches here and there, but they are always hobbling and about to die. I'm not worried because I did have a really heavy infestation. Just the other day, I saw two of the nasty creatures nibbling on some I had in a crack in a corner by the refrigerator, they ran up the wall hobbling and soon fell down! The poison was really hard as I had put it out more than a month ago. So yes, it still works when it gets hard. Also, you probably won't see a lot of dead bugs around because they often go into a crack or crevice in the wall to die. I see very few dead or alive at this time. Hope this helps.

I wondered this myself, however, I watched a couple of sick roaches in the bathroom yesterday so I think they do try to eat it.

Just a note to everyone, I did try pushing it in surprisingly hard last night and it DID work.Please give your jack another try. What's the worst that could happen? Just push it in HARD until it's flush.

What did you put into the tubes?? I used mine for bead storage, so mine are still as clear as the day I bought them 6 months ago. They are plastic, and so will react with chemicals/paints that are put into them.

i haven't used my bags yet. next month i will try to fill them. if you go to you tube and find john kohler growing your greens it shows him filling one. he mixes his soil with other items so your soil will not be so heavy and it can drain better. let me know how it works. good luck

It could be clogged...did you check all pathways? I've honestly never had that problem. It's similar to a vacuum, so I'd imagine it gets gunked up.

Looks like everyone has answered. If all still fails, you might contact the Bag company, might be a bad batch of bags?

Hey Doug they are screwed on for me because they always seem to get lose after a while I just glued them down as well. Hope this helps. thank you and good luck. last thing too if your thinking about buying don't get anything 50 or over in lbs its to much to pull every time. truth me on that ^_^

If the bbs impact over soft material, you can pick up and be reused. When hit over hard materials it break or crack, then when you reuse it clog the barrel

Do a controlled test. Try one bag each way, and see if you can notice any difference. I have stored ours at rt, with good results.

I have same problem, after leaving it there for a few months, all I see are hard crystals inside the bucket, no liquid at all even though the place I left in is humid as hell.

we follow directions on tube. If you do it like the directions say, your tires will not touch it, but we gave it an extra day. A year later it still looks like the day we put it in---no mildew from TX humidity whereas the neighbor put in SlabGasket and his was black from mildew in 6 months (slabgasket would've cost us over $600 and we did the quikrete for a little under $200--highly recommend.

The Guts fell out - very odd - had on my keys for 6 months and loved it. Then one day I set it on the counter and when I picked it up the guts (the memory) were not in the metal case - luckily I found them on the counter. This has happened once since so I no longer keep it on my keys and the guts stayed in (and they are a little tricky to get back in). If this is your only copy of data than no - do not put it on your keys. If this is just a convenient backup and you can afford to loose the insides than it works great! The guts are small enough that it would be unlikely that someone would find and figure out what it is if you have sensitive data. I also have dropped in the water with no problems.

Im in the middle of moving so im saving mine to put up in my house rather then my apartment. But my friend also got one and hers looks great i didnt ask if it was hard or not but i would think she woulda mentioned if it gave her a hard time. Hope this helps!

Mine was hard too. I just sprayed a little wd40 on a Qtip and rubbed it in the closer. That seem to help. Plus the more I use it the better it gets.

It may be starting to go. that is usually a sign. But it may last longer. Just keep an eye on it.

Yes, I posted this question as well and accidentally deleted it I think as I don't see it anymore and five others had said yes, about the same said no. It did for me, I've been running it outside for a few days and it's getting less and less. I'm hopeful to bring it inside again tomorrow. It was rough the first day as my whole house smelled like chemicals.

I left it in a bowl and nothjing happened. I never had any luck withn it, I followed the directions and even called the vendor. It still died on. I hope you have better luck.
