My review of Combat Roach killing bait
In our home we have a problem against Roaches especially in the place of the kitchen.
So I look on the Amazon to look for good roach killer that has a ability to wipe out our home enemy.
I found out this Combat Max 12 Month Roach Killing Bait, Small Roach Bait Station, Child-Resistant with 18 count. The higher review ratings have help me to discover this item. The overall rating is very good, however there is a review that says otherwise.
There are people in the comment that said that the roaches on United Arab Emirates (where we are currently located) are different from the Roaches on United States, I am not sure here though, I am not your Roach doctor :)
I carefully follow all the instruction on how to effectively use this one like not using aerosol sprayer can act as a repellant to the cockroach and it is still 8 days since I open the box.
I can say that it work out somehow, it kills many roaches as I see some dying roaches on the floor however, it is still not 100% wiping out the Roaches because we can still see baby roaches moving around, or maybe the babies has higher resistance compared to the grown up Roach?
I am happy Amazon customer because they refund/return policy from 15 days up to 30 days without any question will ask if you wish to.
I still have few days left before I make a decision of refunding this item or not. Frankly speaking, I am not sure of this matter.
If you have roach problem in your area, I can suggest to try this product to yourself if it works for you then great but if it wasn't working at all you can refund it on Amazon so nothing to worry I guess, it is risk free :)
Very informative and useful review :)
Friend, let's take a few theses.
1 - Roaches, the most ancient creature of the planet.
I mean, despite all the shit we do to this planet, they survive. Although the planet is trying to get rid of the living...
2 - The destruction of adults does not mean the destruction of the colony.
The breeding period of cockroaches is about 3 months. During this time, the larva turns into an adult insect, ready to reproduce offspring.
From one egg, the female can carry up to 20-30 individuals.
3 - The resistance of cockroaches to insecticides, the ability to adapt to any adverse conditions is called resistance.
That is, 2-3 applications of the same poison without the complete destruction of the colony is equal to immunity
Recipe
Boric acid
One of the most effective and affordable means. Although boric acid has been used for decades, it even works against resistant populations that have developed immunity to popular chemicals. Unlike most poisons, this substance does not affect the cockroach's nervous system: it corrodes the walls of its digestive tract.
Mix a couple of tablespoons of the powder with raw egg yolk and roll small balls from the resulting mass. Throw balls at cockroaches (just kidding). It remains only to put them in the habitats of cockroaches.
Ammonia
The principle of operation is simple: cockroaches have a very sensitive sense of smell, so they do not tolerate a strong smell.
Mix a teaspoon of ammonia with a liter of water and wipe baseboards, window sills, furniture, ventilation grilles, pipes and doorways with the solution.
Freezing
Simple and time-tested, and most importantly - absolutely free way. Like all insects, cockroaches are afraid of the cold and cannot maintain internal heat on their own. Therefore, when the temperature drops to 5 degrees, the pests begin to die. To "neutralize" cockroach eggs, you need sub-zero temperatures.
These are methods that are safe for humans. Moreover, the first two do not destroy the colony, but only get rid of adults. And the third is poorly applicable in the Arab Emirates 😆
And most importantly, it should be a complex struggle. I manage to destroy in my apartment, but then they come running from the neighbors...
Hahaha. The comment got so big that maybe it should have been a separate post.
THank you, I appreciate the well in-depth study you have on cockroach Doctor, lol.
