We always suggest using the ROACH GEL when you are living in the home which is being treated. The gel is so much easier to use and does not require exact or precise applications in order to get good results. As explained in our ROACH CONTROL ARTICLE, you really only need to get the product applied where you see the roaches. They'll quickly find it, feed and die. Unlike sprays which require that you get it where the roaches are nesting, the gel will work as long as you make placements close to the nest but on or in it. Roaches can nest and hide in remote locations and if you're not dealing with them day in and day out, trying to get control using sprays and dusts can be frustrating. This is not the case with the gel. All you need to do is get it close to where they live and you'll impact them dramatically. If you have further questions, please give us a call at 1-800-877-7290.

Roaches can live outside and there are many species which do fine existing on structures around lights, decks, overhangs, rooftops, etc. From there they can forage inside if given the chance. The best thing to do is treat the outside with some ORTHENE WP as explained in our LARGE ROACH CONTROL article. Surface treat all areas where you've seen them. If the area is close to the ground, apply some MAXFORCE GRANULES to this area as well. Roaches love this stuff and will quickly find it, eat some and die.

If they are appearing inside, it would be best to set out some ROACH GEL where you've seen any activity. This bait uses a strong attractant roaches seem to love and it should be found by them, fed upon and in turn kill them with little effort on your part. For the most part, you shouldn't have to spray inside so the Gel should be enough to get control of the problem.
