I wrote here about 6 weeks ago, explained my problem and ordered everything you said to the tune of $181.00. The Phantom leaves much to be desired. I still see lots of roaches. The MaxForce is a joke. I'd like to try Talstar P even though I already feel ripped off. Does it have a fast knockdown unlike the Phantom? Everywhere I look I see more roaches and it's driving me crazy. The NyGuard IGR apparently worked as I have thousands of crinkly winged roaches. All are alive and well.
Phantom is a non-repellent insecticide that also has a transfer effect and is especially useful for insects that are social or extra sensitive like ants, roaches or bedbugs. Talstar P on the other hand will have a faster knockdown rate and is a bit more versatile as it can be used in more areas and for a wider variety of insects, but it will only kill the roaches that contact the treated area, whereas the Phatom will help to kill the entire colony, as does the MaxForce FC Magnum. Please be aware this does take time, it can take weeks or months to completely eliminate a roach infestation. The NyGuard is only birth control to keep the roaches from reproducing and side effects of that are the crinkled look. For more helpful hints on eliminating your infestation, take a look at our guide on How To Get Rid Of Roaches.
