does it leave any crack when shut, through which roaches could come in?

Yes, the is a very small gap between the frame and the door. I would say about a 1/16rh of an inch.

No cracks and there are even magnets in the door to make sure it stays shut. The magnets are pretty powerful too. So much that my cat could barely get through and I had to demagnetize the door so she could use it. No roaches can get in unless they're like HULK roaches. And if that's the case you may have another problem on your hands.

Yes, small insects *could* enter thru the crack (narrow margin) - our's is near the top, much like what is shown in the pic.

I keep this bin in the garage so not sure. It does snap shut and there is a seal around top lid of bin and also the small opening lid which keeps bugs including small ants out. Hope this help.

I don't have a roach problem, but did have a ant problem. What happens is they (bugs) eat this and dehyrate and die. What i did was drill a small hole in the wall and went tot he dollar store and got one of those ketchup picnic bottle plastic and put some in that and then i sprayed inside the wall though the hole i drilled.can easily be fix later, i put painters tape over the hole and will get it there until i am done. But i would say yes to your question and this is organic so should not hurt animals or people. you can also put in the cabinets way in the back. It last a long time, i bought a 5 lb box also and still have half and that was maybe a yr ago or so. I use it in my gardens, inside the house and around the house. And i can say it works very well.

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 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 do not know about roaches and prppermint oil. I did not have roaches, I had mice. I know it keeps mice out.

I do not know. All I know is that we were seeing 2-5 roaches a day and over a weeks time I unloaded an entire tube (not all at once) in the crevice above the dishwasher. That was the week before Thanksgiving 2014 and the next week until now (end of Feb 2015) we have not seen any roaches. Putting the little dabs did not seem to work well. I highly reccomend this product.

I'm not sure. In my office the mice running like it is nothing in there. No affect at all. )))) but i'm not sure about roaches and bugs.

The vents are tiny squares that go all around the circumference of the lid. If there are roaches I'm thinking that would be a problem, they'd definitely be able to get in and out, the vents are big enough for them. Some past reviewers say they've had fruit flies after a while if the compost sits for days but they probably come from fruit already inside the bin. Not sure what attracts roaches but there really is no trash smell at all because of the charcoal filter. I wash dishes close to the bin with 5+ day old matter and can't smell anything foul.

absolutely not -- the lid lowers down slowly and when it fully closes it is even with the rest of the can, but an actual seal would require that the lid was closed with some pressure - in fact, considerable pressure. many insects, including roaches, can walk between a wall and wall paper. they will have no problem getting in and out of the can if they have reason to go there. and i don't believe i have ever seen a consumer trash can would have a strong-enough seal, except, maybe, those trash-compactor in-counter units, which you have to shove closed with some force

I haven't seen any crack. The cubes are filled with water so if it does leak, nothing harmful will be ingested.

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

I did, food tends to fall there sometimes and I'm sure they crawl by there so I put one. This thing works miracles though I haven't seen any roaches for months and I would see a few a day before I got this stuff.

I left mine birdbath out for the winter and it did crack. Disappointed because the birds loved it.

Not too sure about the question. They are ready to use after opening the big factory zip lock bag. You will be able to see when they are empty thru the top and then just replace them. Best roach control product I have ever bought!
