We saw 1 roach scurry from behind the oven up the wall after cranking the oven way up to 500 to bake something. I had been smelling a weird musty smell that I associate with roaches for a month or two but had not seen any. We had the AC running so I thought if might be musty from not having windows open though. We never see anything scurrying if we flip the lights in the middle of the night. Have had the stations placed for a few days but have not seen any dead or dying roaches. What gives?
Just because you are not seeing dead roaches does not mean they are not dieing. They are not always going to die out in the open and often times will die in their nest. Are you seeing less roaches than you were before you put the stations down? Do you have enough stations down for the amount of infestation you have and is there still bait inside the stations you put down? Also, are you using any IGR's with your roach control regiment? If you are only using a bait, you could be killing off part of the colony just as quickly as they reproduce, so using a product like Gentrol IGR will sterilize the roaches so they cannot keep reproducing. Please look over our guide How To Get Rid of Roaches to make sure you are taking all the necessary chemical and non chemical steps to properly and completely eliminate the infestation.
