Question about cockroach bait

Roach bait is supposed to be an effective total control roach killer. The key phrase in that sentence? Supposed to. Sometimes they don’t work and roaches continue to linger around, surviving and thriving to the frustration of the homeowner. Scan the internet for reviews on different roach baits and you may see a bunch of exasperated people up in arms complaining about how the roach bait stinks and didn’t do any damage to the infestation they have.

Some go on to point blame to the bait being inferior and a waste of money but in actuality, it may not be the fault of the bait at all. Often times a roach bait is rendered ineffective is because of poor application procedure. Other times it may be the roaches’ fault. You can find out what the problem is by asking yourself a few questions. In this article, we will touch on some questions so you can get to a solution to your roach issue.

A big important step that you must do before applying any bait is eliminating all sources of food that roaches may feast on. If you still have crumbs on the counter and in your toaster, spills in the microwave, grease on the stove and moisture behind the refrigerator, the roaches won’t be compelled to try the bait you have laid out because there are so many other options for food.

Our experts at TOPONE emphasize sanitation as a prerequisite before using any products, including bait. Once you clean and sweep and wipe up your kitchen, the roaches will not have anything to eat. That’s when you lay the bait out and it’ll be the most effective because they don’t have anything else to munch on but what’s presented to them.

Check the expiration date of your bait. If the bait you have been using has been around for a while, as time goes by the effect of the bait will be less and less. Roaches can quickly evolve and adapt and so they require new fresh batches of product. If you’re using old product, they may avoid it entirely or even consume it and it won’t kill them!
