For a roach infestation we would recommend our Roach Control Kit #1 in addition to the Tempo SC Ultra. The Tempo will work very well for spiders as well.
The kit contains enough of each product to effectively treat an average home but severe infestations may take several months to eliminate and may require multiple treatments. Sanitation plays a key role in eliminating roach infestations as well. Be sure to wipe out sinks to remove moisture at the end of the night, vacuum and mop under and behind appliances to remove food debris, take out trash every night, limit food consumption to one room.
Please take a few minutes to read the hints and tips in our German Cockroach article to learn more about roach elimination.
