Good people; I need help in getting rid of cockroaches from my house. I have tried all the sprays in the market (Doom,Raid,etc) and none work. I have called in a fumigator and had to remove all utensils fro the house before he started work on the roaches to re-appear the following day!

There used to be a very effective spray called 'Empire' a few years ago,but it disappeared...I was told that it was removed for safety reasons.

Does anyone have a solution?

mix soda bicarbonate,wheat flour and a bit of sugar and paka the mix on the nooks and corners where they are likely to pass - you can also place the stuff on flat containers in areas the creatures are likely to pass. within a few days they will be all over the place - dead!

I found out (well,my bro observed it) that when you spray the roaches,they just get drank for sometime and then they stagger to their hide-out. They also tend to grow fatter.

Try diazinon (sp). its a small bottle you can get from any agrovet. you will sweep them off the next morning and they wont be back in a long long long time!!! since it has a strong smell,do it when you are going somewhere for long hours like 4-5 hrs. Keep all foods and utensils away and follow instructions. they kill even the ones int he eggs when they are hatched.... you will almost miss their mischief.

Move away from your neighbour if you dont get him a bottle too.

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

In this hard economic tyms,my friend just heat up your frying pan and on your knees there you go....gather as many as you can and get 'monosaccharide-protein' for free.Croaches are a delicacy in Madascar by the way.All the best in your munching...!


I wonder what part of brain some people use.

Roaches are probably the most unrelenting pests you can ever fight! I had a similar prob a while back and I can assure you sprays cannot completely get rid of them. What of the hidden unhatched eggs?

You need to get some roach powder of some sort,like the ones you sometimes see being hawked like 'Dawa ya mede!!!' on street corners,Hehe. I used the doom powder. Leave the powder in nooks,cracks and corners and try not to wash it off for a couple of days. Those buggers will be complete history

This should not bother you a minute. Just walk to tusker supermarket and ask for a certain cockroach paste - I have forgotten the name. Apply the paste as per instructions. You will not see any change until the fifth or sixth day. All roaches will die and you will not need to bother for at least the next 2 years (guaranteed)

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
