Any insecticide you use, make use of it continually for like one month. Even when there's no visible cockroaches, still apply it.. If if u fail, their existing eggs ll hatch n u ll continue to see them..

Is it the normal cockroaches or the small ones.??
If its the normal one. Pour like a bottle of sniper or any strong farm insecticide in the WC and flush depending on the soakaway size.
But if its those small small ones my brother those ones stubborn. If you spray anything they will crawl out and wait for the smell to finish then come back.
So you'll need more than one day to kill them. Camfo will also help

What's the state of your roof and ceiling?
Do you have the underside of your roof (outside) covered too?

If there are holes in your ceiling, you will continually live with those things.

Pour sniper into your kitchen, bathroom and toilet drains, block all opening beside your mosquito nets and use a good Insecticide like sniper or baygon

If it's the smaller ones then you'll need to burn some clothes, cartons etc.

If you have a guest then he or she must have brought it into the house. Those small cockroaches breed a lot.

You need to burn them. No amount of insecticide will stop them except you fumigate the house.

Worry no more. Get greenleaf powder all will be history. Just #100 per sachet. You can easily get it at any popular bus- stop from those that sell rat poison or rat gum.

1) Get a plumber to check the pipes in you kitchen and toilet, if you have water outlets on the floor of your toilet and kitchen it's best to use a net to block the holes in order to stop crawling insects from using it as a passage.

2) always use Sniper insecticide morning and night for a week and follow up when they cease to appear, just to be sure they've been completely eradicated.

Buy green leaf and for one year,no ant will enter your house again.


It does not scent nor smell.

In fact it is odourless.

I have used it and I am still shocked on how powerful this is.

The green leaf stuff actually works! Was having issues with roaches in my kitchen and I hate roaches! Made some research, got the Green Leaf and applied it at strategic places in the kitchen and other parts of the apartment. Boom, them roaches disappeared! That thing is the deal!

Green leaf works bro but the bomb is if u can get raw ammonia find way pour into septic tank or pour in WC and flush,mix the ammonia with snake pesticide very repulsive,no body can stay in house ,see war in sepic tank,close all drains and sink holes cos all will be choked to death.repeat periodically,the eggs are hard to get but all adults be killed.After make sure u use net to cover the air vent.
I believe u stay at ground floor cos is the worst hit.

Roaches useless pest

Short answer:
You can't.
They will keep coming back for a number reasons including:
* They may be in your apartment and you may not notice for months, until their numbers grow.
* Almost impossible to kill all of them, including eggs.
* Hidden breeding spots outside your apartment, including those of your neighbors.
* Roaches leave traces of scent when they find comfort anywhere, so if a new one gets to that compound, they will be attracted to your apartment even if you recently killed all (though not probable) of them.

Long answer:
You can control cockroaches to submission, but it requires a great deal of work and dedication for several months.
Good suggestions above, pesticides all over your house and flushing in toilet, that will ruin breeding grounds, but you must keep doing that every few months. But in your apartment, keep "green leaf" recommended above at all corners, at all times.

Blocking all cracks and flat spaces in doors, windows, ceiling, etc., Anywhere leading to your apartment from outside.
Never leave leftover foods in the open, including crumbs that may drop to the floor, in fact, it's best to take them out of your apartment ASAP.
Empty your waste bin at least once a day
Roaches are particularly attracted to fermenting food, so take note.

Use sodium bicarbonate to get rid of "cockroach scent" at hiding spots in your apartment, especially in between stacked pots/bowls you don't use often.
There was a time sniper was very powerful, use it undiluted and close all windows and doors overnight. DO NOT STAY OR SLEEP IN THAT APARTMENT UNTIL YOU LATER VENTILATE IT FOR HOURS.
But you might also consider industrial fumigation.

Disclaimer: I am not a pest expert, I will not take responsibility for any outcomes if you follow them.

Certainly they will disappear for several weeks or months. But if your neighbors still have them, they will soon locate your home again. So you must keep repeating that after a few months, even if you don't see them, and especially if you see anyone alive.
