Cockroach Trap Sticky with Bait Non-Toxic and ECO-Friendly - 12 Pack

Product Information

While elimination is not always a possibility, traps can be an effective way to reduce the numbers seen around and in your home. They also serve as an excellent monitoring tool to let you know how many roaches are present at a time. If you have a huge infestation, it might be time to call in the professionals. If you want to avoid dropping gel bait around your home (because of pets or curious kids), opt for Combat Roach Bait Stations. Like roach motels, these self-contained traps leave nothing exposed. Harris Roach Tablets put boric acid traps in easy-to-use tablet form. Place these pill-sized tablets anywhere roaches are bothering you—storage rooms, kitchen cabinets and even wall cavities.

Bait stations should be changed once a month or when the liquid is depleted. This could be once every 2 weeks. Glue Traps Electric roach traps, like this one from ZoarC, are relatively new and “high-tech” entries in the pest control market. They work like glue traps, attracting roaches with bait and trapping them inside. However, electric traps zap the bugs with electricity to kill them.An insect growth regulator (IGR) contains a synthetic hormone that disrupts the ability of roaches to molt or reproduce. We like the Zoecon Gentrol Point Source IGR because, according to the manufacturer, it is safe to use around pets and children. The container holding the IGR laced gel is adhesive, so it can be kept out of the way inside cabinets or along baseboards. There is no such thing as forever pest control. If you have a major infestation, multiple colonies, or are unsure of what roach type you have, it is time to call in an exterminator. Exterminators offer a suite of controls and like to use perimeter treatments to prevent future colonies from gaining entry. If your infestation is extreme, they may decide to use a fog treatment. Many use the same chemicals available in-home use products, in more concentrated form. There are some services that offer eco-friendly alternatives to suit your values and most professionals will continue to work with you to help prevent future infestations through ongoing monitoring.
