| 1409667 | 2015-10-12 05:47:00 | Just a hint.............. Cockroaches are among the hardiest insects. Some species are capable of remaining active for a month without food and are able to survive on limited resources, such as the glue from the back of postage stamps.[36] Some can go without air for 45 minutes. In one experiment, cockroaches were able to recover from being submerged underwater for half an hour.[37] Japanese cockroach (P. japonica) nymphs, which hibernate in cold winters, survived twelve hours at -5 °C to -8 °C in laboratory Hear stories obviously BS about them being walled up and coming to after demo years after!. But I am such a gullible hua. |

| 1409668 | 2015-10-12 22:07:00 | I'll be into the BV2! The house next door has always had huge cockroach problems as the original owner worked at a hospital and they travelled home with her on a regular basis. They never gave us much trouble through a series of owners, then I built a trellis down the boundary to hide all the crap at the back of that house. That turned right at a gate in a trellis fence across to our house, consequenly, we discovered that we had inadvertently opened up a super-highway for the little creepers. They breed in the trellis and if we time it right we can kill hundreds if not thousands when the little sods are still babies. We are exceedingly fortunate that very few migrate into our house, maybe two or three in a bad week and no colonies have been established. The big black ones live outside and wander in occasionally but they are easy to spot and catch so we just throw them back outside. They are incredibly fast movers so you have to be very quick if you want to catch them. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1409669 | 2015-10-13 00:23:00 | The BV2 was suggested to us by the exterminators that do supermarkets in our area. I'd tried setting off raid cockroach bombs and emptied cans of flyspray into the house, none of that did much. You can spray a cockroach with flyspray until it's well coated and white and watch it run away, BV2 has it falling to the ground twitching immediately on contact and dead within seconds. An entirely different class of poison :) I've never used ripcord to compare it for effectiveness or active ingredients though so I don't know which is better. |
