How long it takes to eliminate a roach infestation depends on how large the infestation is, how consistent and thorough you are being with treatments and what products you are using.

We would recommend one of our roach control kits. You can see the kits by clicking on the link here. We also have a great article for eliminating them that can offer some great advice; you can find it here.

I would continue to treat with the perimeter sprays that your using. I would also use a roach bait gel in the area of activity in the crawl space. If you didn’t want to go into the crawl space treating with spray you can bait around the area close to the door. I would use Advion roach gel and apply in small pea size dabs around the door. This along with doing the treatments around the perimeter of the house, should help eliminate the population. You may need to incorporate an IGR to get complete control of the population depending on the type of roach your dealing with.

We would also suggest applying an insecticide dust in the wall voids to help protect your home from roaches transferring from other units.
