How Did You Deal With Cockroach by Mummytoo(op): 1:35am On Nov 23, 2024
Good day everyone

Please my kitchen is infested with cockroach on a high level. I have used insecticide to spray, it's not working. I bought otapiapia (local strong chemical) still not working.

I have wasted money to buy whatever they advertise but no way, I'm scared because I don't want to eat cockroaches someday, they are everywhere in my kitchen, you dare not leave anything open else it's gone...


Pls if you have had this experience before, what did you do or use, I need help. They are hiding everywhere... The cupboards, cabinets, any dark area at all, and when no one is at home, they become the landlords.


Pls help

They are everywhere this period, check your toilet water sink if broken or collapse and get plumber to block is, then your kitchen washing hand basing water sink always cover it at night, those are openings they followed to your house

Then spray insecticide on cupboards, pull up the washing hand basing and spray, because they're hiding underneath, do it constantly at night ,on till they are no more, Use BNC

Whatever u are using, do it consistently for like a week. Spraying behind shelves and dark corners at night. You should see improvement. Sweep out their eggs as well and seal up any cracks. A single egg holds at least 16 babies and they are always laying so it's not a once in a while fight. You must maintain a steady attack till you see the changes you desire.

I've heard that a mixture of equal parts baking soda and sugar is deadly to them. Can't find baking soda but my brother says he used baking powder and it worked.

For now, wall geckos are decimating them, before I launch an attack on them too.

I also used Green leaf powder for a while. It's very effective.

I have told you block all the places leading to suckaway that's where they are coming from, mine worked for me. Just only one i bought, spray the places and lock it, if you don't block their entrance they would keep coming

In addition, buy snipper poor it inside your toilet and flush, because if6 those inside the suckaway

You mix the sugar and baking soda, put it in small containers and keep it where they will eat it for some days
Re: How Did You Deal With Cockroach by TheGoliath(m): 10:08am On Nov 25, 2024
Get Rambo insecticide and spray it consistently in your kitchen for at least 7 days.

The spraying must be done in the night because cockroaches are nocturnal insects

Re: How Did You Deal With Cockroach by christejames(m): 10:09am On Nov 25, 2024
I swat them with any available objects on sight preferably slippers grin



Try and always make sure things in your kitchens are clean, wash plates and utensils immediately after use, apply some insecticide once in a while.
Re: How Did You Deal With Cockroach by viqSmallz(m): 10:11am On Nov 25, 2024
Use greenleaf powder. It was efficient for me when I had the small roaches infestation.
Worked under 2days.
Re: How Did You Deal With Cockroach by CaveAdullam: 10:11am On Nov 25, 2024
Do you really want to eradicate cockroaches?

1. Take a long broom. Fresh new broom.

2. Sweep the walls and cupboards.

3. Sweep thoroughly.

Do you know why?

You are destroying the eggs in the caste before they metamorphose.

4. I repeat: sweep your walls, roofs, and cupboards thoroughly.

NB: insecticides only work on the adults. Hardly on eggs or larvae. To win cockroaches is to go to their roots. That root is the beginning of life - eggs.

Sweep your doors. Sweep your windows.

If you look carefully, that's if your eyes are big and sharp like mine, you will see all the white castes strongly attached to corners and surfaces of the house and furnitures.

5. Then, apply spray or fumigate the whole house.

Thanks.

Re: How Did You Deal With Cockroach by EloquentMedia: 10:13am On Nov 25, 2024
1. Keep clean environment
2. Use insecticide
3. Call a professional pest control company

These 3 steps will keep cockroaches on check. I personally use Cleanest Integrated Services and they've been thorough in their approach
Re: How Did You Deal With Cockroach by Tradepunter2: 10:13am On Nov 25, 2024
Chew one of them.... Then spread it across the house... When they smell the chewed up one they run and never return
Re: How Did You Deal With Cockroach by Antwan99: 10:13am On Nov 25, 2024
I don't know anything I hate in this life except cockroaches. Whether you kill them all, the eggs already laid will keep hatching later and they'll be back shortly.

You have to battle them for at least 6 months before you'll see result. They are nocturnal insects, as such only active when there is darkness (night darkness). Off lights in your kitchen, enter abruptly in the night at different times with a broom and send smash them. Don't forget insecticides, not spraying ones though. Powdered insecticides, Rambo precisely, spray enough quantity round where you know is their stepping ground, in the holes and wherever.

ALWAYS SWITCH ON THE LIGHT
Re: How Did You Deal With Cockroach by efeteb: 10:14am On Nov 25, 2024
Get GREENLEAF and thank me later.

A sachet is around #200, buy like 5 sachet.

Spread it in the nook and crannies of your house in the evening. Repeat it after five days. For Four times.

You'll thank God for this information. You will not see the cockroach because the dead becomes food for the living until they all die off.

It works. Try it.

All including the eggs and the young ones will die with just a little drop at the corners of the house, then close the door for like 3 hour.

Re: How Did You Deal With Cockroach by Karleb(m): 10:15am On Nov 25, 2024
Use very hot water.

It would kill their eggs and kill them instantly.
