    Good roach killers?

    This morning I believe I spotted a roach in my bathroom. I couldn't get a good look at it since when I noticed it the little bastard bolted and ran under the floor trim. Anyway with that said I was wondering if anyone else ever had a roach problem before and knew of any good bug sprays, poisons, etc. to get rid of it (them?).

    I imagine the horse manure could be attracting them as well.

    Sprays are being reactive, not proactive. They don't get to the problem of a potential infestation if you have one.

    Buy some roach traps based on what your budget can afford and put them in the kitchen/pantry/bathroom. Seal up any cracks you may have, keep your food sealed, try not to leave dishes in the sink overnight.

    Combat is cheap roach/ant killer.

    Just use the 3 feet rule. If they stay outside of your 3 foot radius, leave em be. If they invade those imaginary walls, take it as a declaration of war.

    lol fuck that. If I see one of those bastards, he failed the first rule of cockroach school - stealth - and must die. Then you have the bold ones that fly as if to taunt your senses.

    Well my landlord said they'll lay some traps around my bathroom trim to see what I'm dealing with then call an exterminator depending on what they catch.

    Coworker said it could be a water beetle to. Said they're real common around where I live. Either way I want to confirm what I'm dealing with and get rid of the fuckers ASAP.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Look up diatomaceous earth. Your local hardware store should sell it. Powder you put in corners, cracks, behind appliances to control infestation. It's all natural, too. There's different types. If you have pets, I'd suggest food grade. Might find that at a local animal feed store. It's the equivalent of walking on a field of saw blades for them. Tears up their exoskeleton. Quite medieval, really.

    I came in here to say napalm, but Kerb actually hit the nail on the head. Those arnt agressive to humans typically, dont give a shit about your trash. They want to chomp other bugs brains out. They also tend to even fly solo, so you wont have a huge family of them moving in.

    according to wiki, it absorbs lipids from insect exoskeletons and causes them to dehydrate. interesting
