We would recommend 30 days between applications of different products.

One of our roach control kits would be recommended for roach control. These professional kits includes non-staining, low odor concentrated insecticide for spraying the outside perimeter of the home and inside underneath appliances, behind cabinets, under toilets and sinks, etc. You'll also get Roach Bait Gel to help get rid of those roaches that like to hide. Baits can be applied up high in the kitchen in the corner of cabinets and in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms. The bait contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, who also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. Finally, an Insect Growth Regulator is offered which will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. The combination of an IGR with roach bait is a highly effective roach control strategy that is widely used by pest control professionals. The insecticide must be applied with a 1 gallon pump sprayer.

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.
