Cy Kick will start working immediately on the roaches that come into contact with the treated surfaces. It is not a contact kill so they will not die as soon as they touch it, but it will start to work on their system and will start getting weaker and dying within a few hours of contact. Please keep in mind that if the roach infestation is large you will most likely need to use a roach IGR in conjunction with the Cy Kick to completely get rid of the problem. Using just an insecticide will often only knock back part of the roach colony without eliminating it in full. This is because since they do not die instantly after touching the product they still have time to reproduce before death occurs. So without the IGR you can often have a constant cycle of the roaches reproducing just as quickly as you are killing them. Take a look at our Roach Control Kits and our article on How To Get Rid of Roaches.
