not sure if it was mentioned, but roaches find dark warm places to reproduce.
typically a television set, since that is one device that is on alot and usually located in a dark area.
they will also find other places, computers, sound systems, vcr/dvd players, etc.
TV's are rarely used

computers

i have not seen any in it i do not think it will live in temps of 60C+ they will just get cooked

i got some Boric acid and put a small amount under the stove and fridge

the microwave got infested so i turned it on for a few min but they were moving still :( ( you think it would dehydrate them ) got rid of it microwave ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-bug-Bomb-the-roachs-23305118 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:58:36 EDT Re: bug Bomb the roachs? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-bug-Bomb-the-roachs-23303820 said by Anonymous_:

Baking soda and boric acid work the same way on roaches, the roach ingests the material it produces gas within the digestive system and since they cannot fart they pop internally and croak.

Tough way to go, but that’s the roaches problem eh?

There's a tree outside that they breed from, and it's literally outside my window and I think that's where mine are coming from. I sprayed a flying one (as some call "palmetto bug") and a wingless one tonite. two lastnite. I'm headed to walmart RIGHT NOW for boric acid.

I've seen big boys like this before, but i've never been used to living with them until now :(

There are two main kind of bug bombs. One type sprays a fine mist of chemical into the air, it settles and kills the bugs when they walk over it. Basically its the same as a chemical spray but the can send it into the air as a fine mist that carries throughout the area. The other kind that I greatly prefer is the smoke kind. I don't know exactly how this kills the bugs (inhaling or contact) but the smoke gets into _every_ little area of the room. You set them off, leave, and come back in a few hours (or seal that room) and you will see dead roaches all over if they were anywhere in that room. The difference is that the smoke stops working while the other one continues to work for a few days.

Personally, I recommend getting a smoke bomb for each room, using them one room after the other (during one day as not to allow the bugs to move from room to room) and then starting a chemical treatment plan.... such as placing Boric Acid in cracks and baseboards. Also spray the outside of the home and remove debris as this is where they are coming from.

Want cheap Boric Acid... look for 20 Mule Team Borax in the laundry section of your local stores. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-bug-Bomb-the-roachs-23234896 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:41:27 EDT Re: bug Bomb the roachs? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-bug-Bomb-the-roachs-23234347

If you live where it gets cold, and 20*F should be cold enough, roaches can be eradicated because the snow prevents them from traveling and hiding outside and the dry air eliminates most condensing hidden water sources. Black Flag Roach Ender was the best off the shelf but that isn't available anymore. Fortunately the Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) chemical that does the dirty work is still available. Get some Zoecon Gentrol IGR. Archer has an IGR that is probably just as good but I haven't tried it since my spray can of Gentrol is still 70% full and my Black Flag Roach Ender cans are unused.

Nothing sold in stores works like Gentrol and IGR products are not available from or used by any pest control service. While Gentrol is available in several packages I only buy the aerosol which allows me to cover all the roach areas while avoiding food and traffic areas so I don't need to clean or quarantine. I also do not apply any poison since that is harmful to the cause for multiple reasons. The roaches avoid the poison, it makes the dead roach remains poisonous for pets, and it kills the roaches. You think you want them dead but you don't. Roaches that die make a mess and don't help spread. Live roaches steadily spread the IGR to every nest. Study up on roach habits and life cycle to understand. You don't get the immediate satisfaction of dead roach piles but they trickle away without making a mess and eventually disappear and don't come back.

Application is simple and a single can will last for many applications. You might do some free house calls for the neighbors. Spray all floor edges in the kitchen, bathroom, and any other water or food source. Concentrate on the floor if the floor sees no foot traffic or animal traffic can be blocked. Otherwise concentrate most of the spray on the vertical surface. This keeps pets, hands, feet, and food away from the IGR. Scrap food heavy areas like the stove and extremely wet areas such as dishwashers or under the sink need an extra dose.

The roaches will handle the rest.

The goal here is to cover the most valuable roach real estate with the least amount of spray and the least amount of coverage of your food and traffic areas. Application takes about 10 minutes and there is no cleanup or quarantine.

Under the sink: heavy coverage all over

Sink: wall and thin counter line behind the faucet

Behind the toilet: all over, try to get some between the toilet tank and the wall, spray the floor if pet traffic can be blocked

Along the foot recess under cabinets: Spray the wall and floor. Where feet are expected spray only the wall above where toes could touch.

Stove: Spray under, around, behind, and inside on all non food surfaces such as under the raised top and under the drawer. Do not spray the stovetop, oven, or hand controls.

Dishwasher: heavy coverage all over, pull out the dishwasher if possible.

Washer and Dryer: light coverage all over

Refrigerator: Clean and spray the condensate catch pans

The pantry and food cupboards shouldn't need spraying since there should be no open food or water sources here. Open food or water should be sealed, cleaned up, and disposed of properly.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/They-call-me-The-Cleaner-23147959 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 19:01:04 EDT Re: bug Bomb the roachs? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-bug-Bomb-the-roachs-23147376
You should follow the advice of others here about using the boric acid properly. You can also entice them to crawl around in the stuff by placing baits around too.
If the infestation is too bad, and you can't get it under control, call in professionals. Some infestations are just so bad there is no other option but to tent the place up.

Professionals usually spray a residual, then use an irritating fogger to get the bugs active so they have to walk through the residual. They also use bait gels affter to keep the population down.
I'd recomend using professional products, rather than stuff common at home depot and the like. Just be careful with them and follow all directions carefully.

Don't bother ordering most of these in NY unless you are a licenced professional, even then they may not be legal.
If you are worried about products being toxic to family and pets, you aren't confident enough in yourself about following directions and applying it correctly. Typical professional application there is only about a 1% chance of pets or people comming into contact with the chemicals in concentrations large enough to cause harm. Do be careful tho, a buddy's resperator got knocked loose while treating an attic with delta dust and he ended up spending a few days in bed sick after a trip to the ER.
The links are only given as an example of the products (and prices) I would recomend, and not an endorcement of the company. I have never had a problem ordering through them, but YMMV.
Edit: Roaches are not immune to the products, their strength lies in numbers alone. For every one you see, expect 50-1000 hidden from view!

Another recommendation for the bait traps. I tried the bombs once, and didn't have much luck with it. Wrapped and packed everything up, loaded the cats into the car, set off the bombs, and stayed elsewhere until the next day.

No roaches to be found when I got back, but they returned a week later. All that hassle for nothing. Tried the bait traps next, and before long there were no more roaches.
The problem with bombs is what have been said about those little bast*rds. Even an A-bomb or H-bomb won't eradicate them. Somehow them thing become immune after a while, that's why it's not good to use insecticide.

In case the word 'acid' concerns you, consider another acid... acetic acid, that we have in our kitchens called vinegar.
LD50 3,310 mg/kg. But you'd have to drink 1/2 gallon of it.

To some people it can sound scary to use, especially in the kitchen, but it is the safest you can go.

You can use the bombs if you want to, they are definitely effective, that will take care of the immediate problem. Then use boric acid as a preventative.

You don't say what type of house, but if it is NOT stand alone (duplex/condo/apartment...) then the neighbors probably have them also, and they will come back. Best to co-ordinate the extermination with the neighbor(s) but if not possible, boric acid use is essential even with bomb use.

True you would have to ingest quite a large amount to be toxic but I just wanted to be safe :-)

Based on mammal median lethal dose (LD50) rating of 2,660 mg/kg body mass, boric acid is poisonous if taken internally or inhaled. However, it is generally considered to be not much more toxic than table salt.[3] The Thirteenth Edition of the Merck Index indicates that the LD50 of boric acid is 5.14 g/kg for oral dosages given to rats, and that 5 to 20 g/kg has produced death in adult humans. The LD50 of sodium chloride is reported to be 3.75 g/kg in rats according to the Merck Index.

Excerpt from the University of Kentucky website.

BORIC ACID

People have been fighting cockroaches with boric acid for nearly a century. Boric acid is one of the most effective cockroach control agents ever developed provided that it is used correctly. Unfortunately, most people use it incorrectly, and in the process waste their money and effort. Boric acid may be used alone or in combination with the baiting techniques previously discussed.


Properties and Advantages

Boric acid is a wonderful tool for controlling cockroaches in homes, restaurants and other buildings. It is effective in extremely small amounts and retains its potency almost indefinitely provided the deposit remains dry. Unlike many insecticides, boric acid has no repellency to insects and, consequently, roaches return to treated areas repeatedly until they die. Boric acid is deadly to cockroaches, but is low in toxicity to people, pets and other nontarget animals. It is also odorless and contains no volatile solvents.



Boric acid is a white, inorganic powder chemically derived from boron and water. Boron is mined from vast mineral deposits in the ground and is used in countless consumer products, including laundry additives, toothpaste and mouthwash. Boric acid insecticide formulations can be purchased at hardware and grocery stores. The powder comes ready-to-use, i.e., no mixing or dilution is required. Formulations sold in plastic, squeeze-type bottles with narrow applicator tips are the easiest to use. (These containers are similar in appearance to the squeezable mustard and ketchup bottles found in restaurants).



Cockroaches succumb to boric acid when they crawl over treated areas. The tiny particles of powder adhere to the cockroaches' body, and the material is ingested as the roach preens the powder from its legs and antennae. Some boric acid is also absorbed through the greasy outer covering of the insect's body. All species of cockroaches are susceptible to boric acid provided the powder is applied into areas where the roaches are living.


Using Boric Acid Like a Pro

The key to success with boric acid is proper application. For best results, the powder should be applied in a very thin layer barely visible to the naked eye. Piles or heavy accumulations will be avoided by foraging cockroaches much as we would avoid walking through a snow drift. To apply a fine layer, shake the container and puff a small quantity of the powder into the target area. Manufacturers of boric acid often fill their containers too full of powder -- by using a container which is no more than two-thirds full, an airspace is created at the top which allows the dust to be puffed more easily (A few pennies or pebbles placed inside the container helps prevent the powder from caking). The trick is to give the container a shake, then puff a very light dusting of the powder into the area you wish to treat.



Avoid applying a heavy layer, and never apply the material with a spoon.

Where the powder is applied is just as important as how it's applied. Cockroaches prefer to live in cracks, crevices and secluded areas close to food, moisture and warmth. Kitchens and bathrooms are the most common areas to find cockroaches, although any area of a home may become infested if the infestation is severe, or if species other than the German cockroach are involved. Key areas for treatment include under/behind the refrigerator, stove and dishwasher, into the opening where plumbing pipes enter walls (such as under sinks and behind the commode, shower and washing machine), and into cracks along edges and corners inside cabinets and pantries. Oftentimes, there is a void (hollow space) under kitchen and bathroom cabinets which becomes a hiding place for cockroaches. This area can be accessed and treated by injecting powder through any existing gap at the top of the kickplate, or if none is present, by drilling a few small holes.



NEVER apply boric acid onto countertops or other exposed surfaces, especially those used to prepare food. Any visible residues should be wiped off with a damp cloth. Boric acid can be used alone or in combination with other cockroach control products. An effective way to augment the activity of boric acid is to place containerized cockroach baits such as Combat(R), Raid Max(R) or Roach Ender(R) brands, as discussed earlier. Avoid dusting over, or in the immediate vicinty of your bait stations, as this may reduce the attractancy of the bait. Used correctly, this dual approach will produce results comparable to a professional exterminator.
