It does kill roaches. Spread it where roaches run, behind cabinets, etc. I use a plastic bottle with small holes in it to sprinkle behind furniture, in cracks and crevices and wherever bugs may be. Works great for fleas and all types of crawling bugs.

I believe it will work on roaches. The product works by causing dehydration. I suggest you look online, particularly departments of environmental quality for more information that could relate to how you want to use the product. The one that can be used on human food will work, but there are other forms that could work faster, but safety depends on how and where you want to use it.

See the other answer. I used what I bought for treating wildlife infested with ticks. My biggest problem was getting it onto the animals.

From my experience : It does work for roaches. I have not seen a roach since I set it up.

Honestly. Its been a few months and I have not seen any more roaches.. I will apply again before winter at 9 months stage.

I have a small yard and I was able to cover the front and back yard with the amount of beneficial nematodes that I bought. I was using it for fleas also and for grubs. In digging this year in the yard I have noticed a marked diminution in the number of grubs that I have run across. I will need to wait another 3-4 weeks to see the influence of the nematodes on june bugs.

Have no idea--I bought it for cockroaches and it did not work very well-at least it is not toxic

not sure what german roach is but I live in NY with couple differentb kind in my building. This stuff is the best. I put down every 30 days forst 2 months then wait till I saw one again a month and a half maybe put it down again.. works great!! No bugs thankfully since .. one pack last 4 months. Keep spray for the first month after that you are good. If you see them chances are its passed a month and time to reapply..

You must keep applying only where you see evidence of them. It takes time. I have been battling my infestation for almost a year now. Just be persistent and diligent.

I gave my reply before reading the others. If it should render the other treatments less efficient, so be it. If the professionals used it, they would be out of business. Then they wouldn't need to come around each few months. We had used other stuff and this didn't seem to cause any problems. The roaches died and stayed gone. That is what we were concerned with.

Decaying roaches...they don't wanna check out. Get some chopsticks, pull 'em out and stirfry quickly with chillies and fresh basil till crisp.

I used peppermint oil (just a few drops) diluted with lots of water in a regular size spray bottle to kill roaches in my house. I made a mixture of (equal parts) borax, flour, and sugar to sprinkle around the outside of my house and it killed off all the roaches! Any of the roaches that had got INSIDE my house I sprayed with the peppermint mixture and they died within seconds. I also sprayed the peppermint inside the house along the walls, baseboards, entryways, to futher deter the roaches/ants. It worked wonders. Highly recommended, and I have pets and like to keep things organic/healthy/natural.

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 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.

yes It will kill them really well. They eat it and it don't kill them right away. They take it back to their nest. What they walk through it tracked back to nests to kill off the population. They crawl out looking for water (I guess since they turned up dead all around water sources) and then they die. The roaches not effected will eat the dead roaches and die too. (you won't have to leave dead roaches out...just good to know for ones that die inside walls) It is worth buying. Only issue I had Lynn was that I got 3 tubes when they advertised 4...but I wasn't even upset enough about it to bother contacting the seller. I was blown away with this product. yes It will kill them really well. They eat it and it don't kill them right away. They take it back to their nest.

I really wouldn't recommend it, especially outdoors. I doubled the dilution rate for roaches indoors, and once it dries, they ran right across the treated area with no effect. No long term residue or kill power.

Not being a chemist I don't know for sure. However I would go ahead and use it. In the months since we applied it, the roaches are still gone. One thing that this question brought to mind. Way back many, many years ago I lived in an apartment that had roach problems. When the apartment next to us got treated the roaches came to ours. When we treated they went to visit the others. But that was back in the 1960s With this you would not have this problem. So going back to your question-- DO IT! In the 53 years I have been out and living in various places I have never had any thing that worked as well. Not being a chemist I don't know for sure. However I would go ahead and use it.
