Which contact aerosol product is the fastest kill for Roaches? For spiders?

My sister is having a roach problem in her apartment. The Germans type, I'm pretty sure. They (the maintenance crew) spray once a month but it seems to be infective. I've done perimeter and void dusting with Drione. Along with Phantom in the cracks under cabinets and where the powder is impractical. However, she has seen a couple more of them after treatment. Today she saw a spider as well. Is there one best fast kill for both? Or one specific for each? BTW, You all are the best place I've found to help with my own pest problem; scorpions. I fired the "professional" after finding your site and now am free of the stinging creepy-crawlies. Thanks so much!

Answer:

CB-80 Aerosol is the industry's best-selling flushing & contact insecticide and provides an extra-fast knockdown and kill of the most common pests.

It can take several months to get rid of a large infestation. Infestations do not get large quickly and unfortunately they do not go away quickly either. Below you will find our best recommendations for eliminating roaches:
