Answer 1

Two good answers ahead of mine.  It is very hard for you to award 25 points to the best answer as best answer is 10 points.  Nice try though.

Answer 2

there are other critters that look like roaches that are not, we have them in the Atlanta area and they crawl up the side of houses and hibernate in chimneys.and yes, some fly. Florida has some roach looking critters called palmetta bugs. As for getting rid of them ?????. You might want to google whatsthatbug.com.  I just looked at it

Answer 3

Ok calm down. I have the solution. Just order or buy ridex. I really works. All you have to do is plug it in and walk away and let it do it's job. It's fast and it helps. Try it.

Answer 4

My husband sprays our house, with pets, our perimeter of the yard and the full yard with a wonderful pesticide that does not smell.  I have asthma and if It did I woule have to leave.  More than likely someone else in your townhome has sprayed their apartment and everything has come over to you.  He sprayed yesterday and I am sorry to say washed and threw away the bottle.  I do know it is a Bayer product with sprayer for inside and outside.  Go to Home Depot or somewhere like that and spray your home every couple of months.  Make sure you spray your thresholds, fireplace and around your windows if you ever leave those open.  Good luck.  I know exactly how your feel, I HATE BUGS!

Answer 5

Do you have indoor pets? If so, their food and /or dishes may be attracting them.  Also, where we live we have a farm & livestock store that carries insectides and they will kill just about everything (we get scorpions--which by the way eat cockroaches) including aquatic animals.  So be careful in using it, but it is the best thing indoors and out!
