A combination of products of residual insecticide, roach bait and insect growth regulator is the most effective way to eradicate roaches. We recommend one of our Roach Control Kits that provide the most effective combination of products to treat for roaches. These kits provide enough for your initial treatment as well as 2-3 follow up applicaitons. Repeat applications of the residual spray and roach bait are required every 7-14 days. If after 60 days you are still seeing roaches, you will want to rotate to Kit B or C for a different roach bait as they can develop bait resistance to the same bait over time.
