Being in a town home seems to make it difficult to get rid of roaches. I have tried boric acid with a lure and gel baits. I have sealed up with cocking as much as I can. The back wall of our home (which is a kitchen wall) is the same wall that connects with my neighbors. I first saw roaches behind my oven. (Even in the LED digital clock). Then I would see them mostly near the dishwasher. I even have seen a "white" one. It has been a few months since then, but I read that means that there is a heavy infestation. After seeing that "white" one, I used the gel baits and baited all the places that are recommended by professionals. I didn't see very many after that, but lately they have been showing up more. We live in a three level town home and so far I only see them on the main level (where the kitchen is) and a few in the basement. I am almost positive the "nest" is some where in the walls where I can't reach. We currently rent, so cutting a hole in the wall probably wouldn't work. I am almost that desperate though! Hope you can help me out!! I would appreciate any advice you can give me! Thanks!!
We recommend that you treat with the products in our Roach Control Kit. You could also apply an insecticide dust inside the wall void, light switch plates and electrical outlets. If the roaches are in your large appliances, baiting is going to help. You do want to switch up the bait if they are no longer accepting the ones you have used previously. I have included some articles that you will find helpful when treating for roaches. Please let us know if you need anything else.
