Roach problem

[ducpainter]

Exactly, an unstoppable, immortal army that can survive on rations that it carries in it's own ass.

The feds are working on that....

For true Death Star power I use a product called Viper.  Usual box stores will probably not have it. I get it at one of the farm supply stores. I'm in a Red state so it's labelled for home use here. Your state may be different.

Bottom line though is this stuff WORKS.

I own a 130 yr old solid brick Victorian home. Cracks and crevices in the millions. Bought the house from a Dr's estate 16 years ago. He still had a full time housekeeper 2 years after going to his final reward. No occupant, no food, full time maid to clean every day, but still enough roaches to freak out my wife. Tried all of the readily available usual suspect remedies with little luck. Many would be killed but the next battle charge would be only days behind. Nothing worked.

Viper is a different story. Works ,and like the Duracell bunny, keeps on working. I spray about once every 3 years now. Just baseboards in kitchen and baths and arond the outside foundation. Not a simgle roach enters my house.

No, I don't sell the stuff and am not even sure who makes it. Just know it works.

Active ingredient in Viper is Cypermethrin

same stuff in DEMON WP that I was planning on getting.....now you spark an intrest...

They are ALL DEAD.

I bought the Dupont stuff. It kicked in about a week after i started applying it. during week 2 of application, there litterally dozens of roaches that just appeared on the floor dead. AWESOME!


But it yeilds a question.....

Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

That's one of the funniest things I've read in quite some time.

Leetle tiny sneakers . . .

Glad your roach troubles are over.
In case anyone's interested in a non-toxic remedy (Small kids, etc.) I've used a product called Diatomaceous Earth with good results. It's a white powder that is non toxic to humans, but lethal to anything with an exoskeleton, and continues to work until it gets wet. A place called garden harvest supply sells a 5 lb bag of it for $11 on the net.

^^^^^^^^^^^  Forgot about DE. Any pool supply will sell it. Technically it's non toxic to everything. The roaches can't clean it off themselves because it is too fine. (they are very clean bugs btw)  I think it clogs their pores or something.

Diatomaceous Earth is great for slugs too.

You should have gotten tiny live trap and released them into the wild.





In college my roomates used to use darts. After awhile you get pretty good at hitting those things on the run.

Or another option upon trapping them live would be to fit them with harnesses. Once you get enough you'd be like the king of the neighborhood as you're pulled down the street on your bike.
Save on gas too with your gas/roach hybrid bike.

Put them on treadmills to generate electricity and sell it back to the electric company. I see a grown home based business.
