Best Cockroach Bait

By far, cockroach bait is the best way to get rid of cockroach infestations. Its mechanism involves luring cockroaches in using a food source that is coated in poison. When cockroaches eat the bait, they go back to their nests and die, and the poison can spread to other members of the colony, creating a domino effect.

How It Works:

Cockroaches are naturally attracted to the smell of food, and the bait contains a nutritious attractant as well as a slow-acting poison. This poisoning doesn’t kill the cockroach for several hours, giving the pest time to return to its colony and share the poison with others.

Advantages:

• Localized Action: Bait only acts on the cockroaches that eat it, other non-target animals are safe

• Residual Effect: The majority of cockroach baits carry residual effects, meaning that they continue to attract and kill pests long after they’ve been initially applied.

• Best Use: Deploy cockroach baits in areas of potential feeding (in cracks and crevices, under sinks, behind appliances and at the base of baseboards).
