    Moth Balls and Roaches?

    I have a customer with a minor roach problem who thinks large numbers of moth balls will help. The odor seem to be more of a problem. What do you think?

    There's Fogging, and Then There's Fogging

    I've read several of your articles about German Roaches and have found a strong belief that fogging doesn't do anything for control. Please clarify if this aversion to fogging for German Roaches extends to Actisol type ULV machines that can be used for C&C applications.

    When The Food Dries Out

    I service a restaurant that has a problem with German roaches. I use Maxforce bait and spray Phantom and an IGR. I am in dry Las Vegas, so how long will the bait attract roaches?

    Persistent Roaches

    I have a home where we are having problems with German roaches. We have this home on a quarterly service and for awhile now we have gotten a lot of call backs. My technician has baited with 2 products, sprayed on every service, and also put out traps. We have done everything that we can do and want to know if there is another product that you would suggest. Thanks.

    Day Dreaming Roaches?

    A customer commented that if a few German cockroaches are seen during the day in a particular area, it is usually a good sign that there is an infestation. Is this true or false?

    Roaches In Schools

    I need some help. I do several school systems where all of the schools are old. All of them have issues with American roaches. Door sweeps have been repaired, I have identified entry points, but I still am having problems. What products do you recommend and where should I put them?

    Roaches Are Agoraphobic

    I am seeing roaches (normally Australian) climbing walls in the wide open. They are not near a bathroom or kitchen, but on a plain wall with no furniture even against it. My question is this: If we are limited now to crack and crevice treatments and cannot broadcast treat around the base boards how are we meant to treat for these roaches that seem to appear as if by magic. I don't even see them...

    Got Roaches, Got Filth, Still Got Roaches

    I am having trouble with German cockroaches in a restaurant. I have used Gentrol Point Source, Avert Dry Flowable powder, and Arilon with an IGR and can't seem to get them under control. I know most of the problem is sanitation and the client is supposed to clean the whole restaurant from top to bottom, and that is why I have not used any gel baits, as there are way too many other food sources....

    Bathroom Roaches

    In a bathroom on the second floor of my home there is one solid window above the bath which lets in light but does not open. It has an extraction vent and an air condition vent. In the past couple of days I have seen roach nymphs in there, always high on the walls or on the ceiling. Yesterday I used DeltaDust in and around the pipe openings of the toilet and under the sink, dusted around/behind...

    A Threshold Level of ONE?

    In your last article you said "Be liberal with a use of insect glue traps, placed in many locations so you can monitor to see where hot spots may exist." When servicing restaurants we would love to place glue boards out and the health dept encourages this, BUT if they see 1 live one in the traps they can shut the restaurant down! I call this entrapment! What are your thoughts?

    Restaurant Provides The Food

    Any suggestion on German roaches in a restaurant? I treat with Suspend and an IGR and bait with Maxforce Roach bait. Not sure if restaurant employees are feeding roaches and that is why the roaches aren't eating the bait. Any suggestions like dust and flowable powders? The bait dries up in Las Vegas weather after a week.

    Baits versus Sprays

    With roach baiting using gel baits I understand you can't liquid/aerosol treat in the same room where you place the bait. BUT, can you treat a basement with liquid AND gel bait in the kitchen? Can you liquid treat a living room on 1st floor and Gel bait a bathroom on the 2nd floor? Please define the word "area" when I read statements that say "you should not bait and spray the same AREA". Thank...

    Once Gone, Back Now

    I have been spraying a restaurant for 6 months using Suspend SC inside and Cyper WP outside and really have had no problems until now. The establishment is getting overrun with roaches coming out of their walls and out of the thermostat. I have baited the areas with Maxforce and I have used CB-80 and dusted the wall voids with DeltaDust just in the area of the thermostat. I was wondering if the...
