Indoor Roach Control Guide

Successful roach control can be daunting, especially with bad infestations, or when you are dealing with german roaches (which often infest hotels and aparments). Our customers often ask us where to use all the different roach control products we sell, so we've created this guide to help you!

The following guide will show you examples of where to place roach bait gel, roach bait stations, roach killer dust, and where to use liquid insecticide sprays indoors to help get rid of roaches for good.

TIP: If the roach problem is not very bad, you can just treat the kitchen and bathrooms and spray around the outside foundation of the home with a roach killer spray.  There is no need to treat every room.

TIP: The key to using roach bait gel is to apply small dabs of gel (about the size of pencil eraser) in numerous places (as shown in the images below). Also, you never want to use roach spray where you place roach bait. Spray can contaminate baits and make them ineffective.
