Roach Control Kit #2 - Questions & Answers

We have a roach control kit #2 that is made just for homes and business with bad roach problems.  It has the best roach control products available in the pest control industry and is usually what a professional company would use if you called them.  It has a spray for underneath appliances and under items in the kitchen down low, it has a roach bait gel for use in cabinets, drawers, and cracks and crevices up high, and it comes with an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) which helps prevent the adults from reproducing younger roaches.  Remember that a roach problem does not get bad over night and it will not go away over night or after one treatment.  Roach control is a process and if the problem is really bad it can take months to control. 

Sanitation is also very important.  If the kitchen is not kept spotless every night and all food put up and away, it does not matter how much you spray or what products you use, the problem will not go away unless cleanliness is a part of your roach management program.

When using the products in the Roach Control Kit#2, as long as you follow the instructions for applying the products then your pets will be safe. The residual and poisons in the products are only enough to kill something the size of a roach. A pet would need to eat large amounts of the bait directly to have an effect from the bait.

If you have a current infestation of roaches, we recommend the products that come in our Roach Control Kit #2. The products in the Roach Control Kit #2 are perfect for roach control problems in apartments. This professional kit includes Demon WP Insecticide for spraying the outside perimeter of the home and inside underneath appliances, behind cabinets, under toilets and sinks, etc.  Invict Gold Roach Bait Gel--one of the best roach baits on the market. Invict Gold 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, Gentrol Point Source stations provide an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) that 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.

We recommend that you apply the products in our Roach Control Kit #2 to the inside and outside of your home. It would be great if you can treat under the skirting to offer a better barrier.

When using the bait gel from Roach Control Kit #2, you want to reapply the bait once a week. You can clean the old gel up using hot water and soap. If there is a lot of resistance a little cooking oil will do the trick to get the bait up.

Both Talstar P and Cyper WP would do a great job for roach control. Talstar P will dry clear while Cyper WP can leave a white powdery residue behind. Cyper WP on the other hand does have a little bit of a faster knockdown.  For roaches we would actually recommend a combination of products such as found in our Roach Control Kit #2.  It comes with the Demon WP which is the same product as Cyper WP, as well as a bait and IGR (insect growth regulator).  This combination is more effective in eliminating an entire infestation of roaches versus just want would contact an area treated with a spray.

Our most popular product for roaches is our Roach Control kit #2.  It comes with everything you need to take care of a roach infestation, and it has a very high success rate because it comes with the same professional products that a professional company would use if you hired them. Of course the treatment works best if you are doing your part to keep your apartment very clean, leave no crumbs or dishes in the sink at night, take out trash every night, and make sure all counter tops are wiped down thoroughly. 

There are many different types of "sewer bugs" and many of them can cause health issues. Roaches and flies can carry bacteria or other diseases that they can spread by crawling over or defecating on surfaces. Roaches and other insects can cause health issues because their shed skins can crumble and become air born and cause allergic reactions.

You can use roach bait in conjunction with roach spray. However, it is very important to keep the bait and spray separate. This can be done 1 of 2 ways. Either spray down low along baseboards and bait up high in the rooms or you can just use the bait in the kitchen and the bathrooms and then spray in the other rooms of the house. The latter is my personal preference. To answer your question about mixing the IGR concentrate with the insecticide, that can be done and is very effective. However, the Roach Control Kit #2 does not come with the IGR Concentrate, it comes the the Gentrol Point Source disk which emits a safe, odorless vapor into the rooms so that the roaches do not have to come in firsthand contact with the IGR which is also very effective. Different methods, but the same results. Below you will find the step-by-step treatment guide for the Roach Control Kit #2. I hope this helps!

Step 1:

Thoroughly clean the area to be treated. Please take a moment to read over our How to Get Rid of Roaches article to learn hints and tips to make roach control efforts more successful.

Step 2:

Use 1 packet out of the large envelope of Demon WP and mix with one gallon of water in a one gallon pump sprayer. You want to spray the the outside perimeter of the home 2-3 feet up and out and inside along the baseboards, window frames, and door frames in the living room, family room, bedrooms, and dining room.

*Be sure not to spray where you are planning on using the Invict Gold. Keep the bait and the spray completely separate.

 Step 3:

Invict Gold Roach Bait Gel should be applied to areas frequented by cockroaches such as kitchens and bathrooms. Baits can be placed between different elements of construction, between equipment and floors, openings leading into voids and hollow spaces in floors, walls, ceilings, equipment legs and bases, around plumbing pipes, doors and windows, and behind and under appliances, cabinets, sinks, closets, and any other equipment that cockroaches are typically known to hide.

 Step 4:

 Activating Gentrol Point Source is as simple as squeezing the raised end of the plastic, adhesive-back device. This releases Gentrol IGR onto a filter paper. From there, it moves up to 75 square feet. That way the pest never needs to come in contact with the device. You can stick one disc on the wall beside the fridge, for example. One to two weeks after application, you will begin to see roaches with crinkled wings, showing the initial effects of the IGR. These roaches cannot reproduce.

In an ideal situation you would remove all of the water sources. In reality, roaches will almost always be able to find a water source whether it is a toilet or a drip pan under the fridge, it is there. The idea is to eliminate as many as possible. Would it be possible to cover the tops with plastic wrap at night or add a plexiglass cover to limit access by the roaches?
