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.
OP this is the only way, 5 is even too much. One is more than enough. You will just not see them, not even their dead body, they will just disappear like magic.

How it works is still a mystery to me. According to my landlady, that introduced it to me, she said if you put it in your room, it will work for your next door neighbors-lolz

Until after about three months

Greenleaf is all you need, if you can get original from insecticide vendor or check Jumia to get it. Just buy and spray in every nook and cranny of your rooms and kitchen in the next one year you will never get to see any single one of them.
This is exactly what I used to get rid of them

BNC dey two for house right now, it's not working
go and buy Greenleaf powder. Those people selling rat poison sells it. Buy the original one as many as you can afford. Pour it at the corners of your kitchen and cabinet. You won't see them for a year

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.
Not anymore. Sniper is not longer as active as before. The new product has been watered down. I tried it, it didn't work.

I used original green leaf powder (the one with NAFDAC number) and BNC powder. They worked for me.

Use greenleaf powder. It was efficient for me when I had the small roaches infestation.
Worked under 2days.
You're right.

I nearly ran away from my house last year because of roaches until I got to know about this.

After dropping it, in a shortly while I packed plenty dead roaches
Re: How Did You Deal With Cockroach by CJStarz: 10:49am On Nov 25, 2024
Spray kerosene around the house, focusing on cracks and crevices. Kerosene is their arch enemy. The smell alone dey Pursue them.

Then check your surroundings.
Block off any holes that leads from outside to your house.
Are you doors tightly fitted? They may be crawling in from outside through these holes and opening.
Check your settee in the sitting room.
Are they torn? Pour kerosene inside them. Make sure your window nets are not torn and well fitted. Drop big camphors around the kitchen, in the cupboard, behind the cupboard, around the house.
I have d feeling you live on the ground floor or a bungalow. Pour some kerosene inside your kitchen sink hole and bathroom holes.
These measures worked for me.

While you terminate the ones inside,make sure none enters inside.
Good luck!

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
😂 You don't deal with them, they deal with you, trust me you can only reduce them, you can't get rid of them entirely, they are something else

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
This is the insecticide I'm using. It's very effective for roaches and mosquitoes

Solution to cockroaches is a clean apartment - clean floors, wash plates immediately after use, for your bin small polythene bags(usually black polybags used by stores) and remove them from your house daily. Coackroaches habit places where they can easily feed. I have neighbours that have lots of cockroach in their house but the ugly insects are hardly in mine. Once in a week, spray insecticide in your house.

To be candid, I learnt this from wifey, during my bachelor days, cockraoch dey full my house. cool
Re: How Did You Deal With Cockroach by Udogwuijeoma: 11:13am On Nov 25, 2024
I was in the same boat as you in my previous apartment, and I know how frustrating it can be. I tried all sorts of insecticides—both sprays and liquids. They only killed a few cockroaches, and the rest would "pipe low" for a day or two, then come back even stronger. The weird part was that they never grew bigger, and at some point, I started thinking they were "spiritual cockroaches" because nothing worked on them.

But, like they say, "every day for the thief, one day for the owner." Their end finally came when my wife's younger sister recommended a cheap green pack cockroach medicine. I don’t remember the name, but I found a picture online, and it looks like this. You should try it—it’s super cheap. I bought six sachets for around 500 naira about a year ago. Let me know how it goes!

I once experienced that.
I packed into a new apartment without knowing that the kitchen cabinet is home for millions of cockroaches.
I tried all I could to kill them. They kept defying all my my efforts to get rid of them.

Sometimes, I will wake up in the middle of the night to see multitude of them crawling around on the kitchen floor and the cabinet. So irritating and annoying.

One day I decide to treat the roach issue once and for all.

I removed every damn thing that was in the kitchen including the Standing gas cooker and the freezer.. It was a full day job from morning till evening.
Everything was washed and dried.

I gathered my chemicals including the ones I use to treat dog tick and lice and the ones I use to treat weed in the farm.
See pic below.
They include
Attack...Use to treat weed and pest in the farm very strong chemical
Amatrax....Use to treat tick and lice in dog. Another strong chemical
Izal...You knows it
Dettol...Popular disinfectant.
Hypo...Bleach
The above were mixed together to form strong mixture.
I filled the mixture in big spray can.

I started by opening the back of the gas cooker and killing every cockroach there. Vigorously spraying the mixture at every corner of the cooker. Then I take the cooker to open location and sun dried it. The heat also killed the ones still hiding or forced them to come out. Lizard and birds withing my compound also helped me by picking and feeding on the escaping ones.

I followed this same method on cleansing everything that comes from the kitchen. After that, everything was left outside till dawn when they must have received enough sun heating.

then, I went back to the fixed kitchen cabinets and started dismantling the doors and some parts of it to give me enough space to reach every angle of the cabinet.
Behold, this was where their headquarters was. It was a tsunami of destruction. I first of all flood the floor of the kitchen with that chemical so that any escaping one will swim in the chemical and die.
I destroyed them and their eggs. Every corner of the cabinet was just dripping of that mixture. That ensured that there will be no hiding place for them.
I also noticed that some were hiding under the tiles mounted on top of the kitchen cabinet. I peeled the tiles off and killed the roaches before replacing the tiles.
I have almost all the whole tools that helped me in doing this assignment. I am tech savvy.

Finally, when I became satisfied with the spraying and killing, the kitchen was thoroughly cleaned and allowed to dry before replacing every item in the kitchen with every carefulness to ensure no living roach entered the house again.

This was how I was able to destroy them and since then, I hardly sees any.
Treating cockroach infestation cannot be handled by just spraying of insecticides. Most of these insects have developed resistance to those chemicals. Most of the chemicals are not even effective.
Even where the chemicals are effective, if the chemical did not get direct contact with the roaches, it will not kill them

Chew one of them.... Then spread it across the house... When they smell the chewed up one they run and never return
Looool, this is funny, but there was a time I used to think this way... So, if I caught any one, I'll roast it...I believed when they smell their roasted friend/sibling/loved ones, they'll run away

Lol
