Cockroach sticky traps???

Question

I want to get rid of cockroaches, do I have to get sticky traps specifically made for cockroaches, or can I get a generic bug sticky trap?

Answer 1

Ignore all these other answers.... the REAL solution to get rid of cockroaches is to pour kerosene all over every object in the house, then throw a lighted match on the floor.

Answer 2

I have never used combat gel but I've used combat baits and it's the best

Answer 3

The generic will work just as good. Boric acid powder mixed with a little powdered sugar works too.

Answer 4

Combat is the best. You won't see any roaches anytime soon. But remember to change them every three months. You will be pleased with results.

Answer 5

Sticky traps are not very effective, go to a gel, or go to a nursery or hardware store and buy a container of spray, treat the perimeters of all the rooms and under all appliances, under sinks etc. If they are a serious problem you can always set off a couple of Roach "Bombs", all you need to do is cover things/follow instructions. Once under control you can make up your own bait....1 cup of flour, 1 cup of Boric acid and a tablespoon of sugar. Combine dry ingredients, then start adding small amounts of water until it forms a stiff ball. Form 1/2" dia balls, set on wax paper to dry overnight, then place behind appliances, in cupboards etc, they last for years and are VERY effective.

Answer 6

The sticky traps dont really work all that well.  I would recommend the Combat Gel.  You just put it in cracks and crevices and it works wonders.  I live in a trailer part where bugs are always a problem cuz they try to come in from neighbors houses but this keeps them at bay.
