How long does it take for American Roaches to infest a yard?
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve recently moved into a 2 year old rental home that was vacant for a few weeks before I moved in. I noticed 2 large American Cockroaches in my kitchen the first night here 1 of which had an egg sack attached I killed and got rid of it. I called the landlord and he tried to say that I brought them with me because the previous tenants had never complained of roaches, at this time I had only moved in two beds, a dresser, and a recliner. I had pest control come out and he used some sort of gel and told me to call in 2 weeks if I still had a problem. Well it’s been 2 weeks and I’ve noticed what seem to be nymphs…about 7 I’ve killed so far in my bathroom. Tonight I heard what I thought was someone throwing rocks at my window I looked out and to my horror saw AT LEAST 15 adult American Cockroaches on my front porch! Some of which were flying into the window! I’m so disgusted I’ve never had an issue like this before.
Is this really something that I could have brought with me? My items were in storage for about 6 months.
How do I keep tree roaches out of my kitchen pantry?
Posted by: | CommentsQuestion by Grub: How do I keep tree roaches out of my kitchen pantry?
Sometimes we are cleaning out the entire pantry a couple of times a week. We spray/kill the roaches, scrub everything down with soapy water, and then restock. Within days and sometimes even hours, we have a new roach “tenant”. Roach motels don’t work. Is there any natural way to keep them out of there?
We are going to start putting everything in plastic containers, but as it is, there is no OPEN food in there – just cans and pre-wrapped stuff. I know I could seal the house better so they don’t get in at all, but in lieu of that – is there any other effective way to ward them off? Like a little roach scarecrow or something?

You need to hire the bug man to come out and do it.

Question by Deomcrat: Minor Florida Palmetto roach infestation, all roaches are small, in kitchen, best plan of attack?
OK. I moved into a Florida room right off of A1A in St Augustine FLorida yesterday. I was in the house for ~6 hours when i went in the kitchen at night.. and saw “six” SMALL bugs, on the counter. “They did not look like Palmetto roaches at first” they looked “different” but i knew we had something in the house. My roommates told me that “if they leave the lights on they dont come out, but if you leave them off you will see them” and they “mostly stay in the kitchen” (this makes sense, food and water.)
Today i purchased Raid MAX Johnson & Johnson “Keeps killing for up to 6 months” and sprayed my room, its a small house its nice we have carpet, i live in the boiler room. I sprayed half the can on contact to about “8″ roaches, sprayed behind the stove, on counter, etc. The biggest roach i saw was maybe 1/2 to 3/4 an inch, these appear to be “baby” roaches? And it shriveled under the RiadMAX (Im practicing my aim, this stuff cost $ 6.67 a can im halfway through it already) and it was from that roach upside down that i recognized it as Palmetto (my roommates said they are “German roaches” but i asked why they were small, i thought the German roaches were huuuge. Im rather glad they are not.)
This morning i woke up because i felt something on my leg (yes i turne the lights off, im considering leaving them on. I sprayed a good 1/4 the can on the carpet entering, alng wall of, and in the ONE space the pipe goe sinto the wall.. it was tiny little roach the size of a ladybug. I snooshed it with a towel and kiled it.
I saw ONE in the drain in the sink, again, tiny..sprayed it killed it ran water.
One just landed on my arm, i shooed it away, it was on my arm then sleeve. Perhaps it flew somehow? idk……
Anyways, they all appear SMALL. So im not sure how good or bad that is.. They do appear to “stay in the kitchen” i am afraid to bomb the place, i will NOT use this toaster or stove because i saw them go into the places the pot goes on top of the stove (so they likely live in there, if i bomb they will go EVERYwhere that would not be good, right?) I have attempted to spray around wherever i can, am i going in the right direction?
How have my efforts to stem this “kitchen infestation of bugs?” It doesnt seem TOO too bad (if it was major im sure there would be huge nasty roaches in broad daylight, i have seem SMALL roaches a small number of them primarily when lights are off and i will now cleep with lights on.) Advice here?

You are wasting your spray. Buy the one gallon pump container and spray the base boards. I will take a few days for the bugs to go away. From the roach capital of the world. Also, follow the directions on the container. It works.
