does it get rid of roaches

Yes, it kills all life cycles of invertebrates, including roaches. It may take up to two weeks for you to completely eliminate them as they are hardy but it will "get 'em."

I'm not sure since we don't have roaches. I would try it. I put some on my cats as a flea powder. It killed the adult fleas on them.

Yes, dust it everywhere youve seen them and any where they could be and leave it for about a day. I swept the floors and carpets to spread it everywhere about a day later then vacuumed. Keep aome extra left over in case you see them more afterwards.

Don't know for sure. We put it out about a year back and still don't have any little roaches running around. Have seen some of the very large "water bugs" but in the kitchen nothing. Great stuff. You won't regret trying it.

I know first hand it kills roaches and mosquitos. Check with your local do-it-yourself pest control, they should know.

Some really big roaches can eventually make their way off the pad, but it will catch many of them for sure. It will take a mean one a day or two to eventually get off, so you'll have time to kill him anyway.

Sorry I don't have cockroaches in my area. It's mostly Stink Bugs and it was very effective and killed them all. I would get around 30 stink bugs each day entering my apartment and now it's none!!! I love this product in regards to stink bugs.

No, it does not work at all. It created more of a problem then we had in the first place. If you have a couple of roaches here and there, if you use this device, you will have hundreds. It calls them into the house somehow and then they breed. We could not figure out why our minor issue grew into such a big problem. We called the manufacturer and they told use that we'd see a slight increase, but then it would die down. He was correct on the increase, but it did not die down until we pulled the units out of the walls and trash them. It even created a swarm in our lawn. It all stopped once the units were gone.

Yes. I purchased this because I have pet birds. I just used it. Many times I'll walk around and find roaches and the minute I spray this, the roaches are dead! This is excellent!

I live in Florida and want to stop the roaches and other bugs from coming in the house. Will this work? How often does it need to be sprayed during the rainy season?

Size-wise it will pick up roaches (maybe not Florida or Texas sized ones), but you have to be quick enough to trap them under the nozzle. Great for stink bugs, which are very slow.

It does a really good job with cockroaches. That is why we use it. My son used it for an infestation of german cockroaches, but then he had to call in a professional to get rid of them.

I have not had the chance to use it on a roach however, my guess is that it would. I have been very happy with mine. The only thing it doesn't do well is get extremely small spiders (1/16 inch diameter / 0.1-0.2cm size) and a spider on the curved edge of bottom of bathtub (you end up poking it which harms it) however, if you first push the spider onto the flatter surface it works fine.

I use the product inside and outside of my home and we don't have any cockroaches. However at work we have I believe German cockroaches. It does kill them but it isn't instant.

No, this is STRICTLY for roaches. However, there are licensed products in tubes like this for ants.

Yes. The roaches we first got were only the very large ones. This stuff works as well as the exterminators at a fraction of the cost.Year 2 and I only occasionally see a roach now after apply last year

I have read that it does but am really not sure. My experience has primarily been with roaches and it has not met expectations.

YES it does, very effectively. I have used it and told others of it who also use it successfully. Roaches (even the big roaches), spiders, and other inside pests. Sprinkle genourously (but not real thick-doesn't take that much) under your sinks, behind your frig, and so forth. Leave it alone and in a little time ... you will notice your pests are gone. I have used since the 1970's and I just put it out and forget it. Vel from Texas

This is the most effective product I have ever used. I`m not sure of the physiology of the various species of roaches, 'cause they're all nasty to me, but after using the product in Florida for the giant super roaches we have down here, it was great. I have no roaches in my house or garage even during the past rainy season when they seem to be at their most active. I would simply use the product or if you think it makes a difference, contact the manufacturer directly.
