| 1111938 | 2010-06-22 04:42:00 | I get the odd one in my garage and I've found that Mortein odourless surface spray Cockroach Killer (the black cap job) knocks them over instantly. You usually have to be very quick to nail the little buggers, but one whiff of this stuff literally stops them dead in their tracks. There are a lot of cockroaches where my daughter works too, so we have to be very vigilant to stop them getting established here, and so far so good, the odd one that has scuttled out of her bag has gone tits-up inside of a few seconds! It is also the only spray I've found that will kill the spiders that hide in the electric wing mirrors of my car, and stop them coming back. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1111940 | 2010-06-22 05:10:00 | LOL, when I was traveling in Thailand, actually, I was chilling for a few months on the Islands, however, when we came home at night from our outings we would open door>turn on lights and close eyes(1 movement), otherwise you would see the floor move. We were lucky and had a gecko which would clear a few out during the night!.... Didnt bother me much in my 20's, but nowadays....... |

I give them a squirt with the surface spray stuff and that seems to stun them, then they get a well placed boot. Oooh I hate those creepy crawly things! You can get the special spray for spiders, made by "Kiwicare", very effective if you spray it around all the places where they hide and traffic across. LL |

| 1111942 | 2010-06-22 20:02:00 | I used to live in Houston, and even with frequent exterminators on the job, and no matter how fastidious the household cleaning, it would not be uncommon to switch the light on in the kitchen to see a black carpet of the buggers rapidly disappear. Then there were the tree roaches, about 2 inches long. These things would drop down on unsuspecting passers by or people sheltering from the daily cloud burst :help: | WalOne (4202) | ||
| 1111943 | 2010-06-22 22:19:00 | Has anyone else noticed more cockroaches than normal at the moment in Ak. The smaller 1cm size jobs Yes!!! I don't know where they are coming from all of a sudden, but over the last few weeks I have normally been finding one big one and two or three small ones each day. |

| 1111944 | 2010-06-23 02:29:00 | We have cockroaches here in the North of WA and in the Philippines. I have found the best way to combat them is to use cheap and nasty spray and spray under the sink, oven, etc about every 3 or 4 days for a couple of months. They have I think a cycle of about 8 weeks, could be wrong there, not sure. The sprays have little effect on the egg's but with frequent spraying for a period of time, you can knock off the young one's before they grow enough for breeding. At the right time of year, in Manila, you can drive down the road and the whole road is moving, all you hear is the wheels crunching them. Bit of useless info.....If you manage to tip a cockroach onto it's back, they are unable to right themselves. |

| 1111945 | 2010-06-24 13:45:00 | Yes, absolutely! It's gotten so bad, we got a cockroach/flea bomb and used them throughout the house. Took about 3-4 hours but it seems to have done the job | beeswax34 (63) | ||
