Best Roach Killers

Advion 383920 is a dangerous package, neutralizing roaches without showing mercy. With the formula primarily relying upon 0.6% indoxacarb, this effective poison can be used anywhere around the house. Even the more sensitive areas are fine since the product does nothing to people. Plus, when you combine this poison with the company's traps, you can easily exterminate the most severe cockroach infestation.

Looking at the package, what we're working with here is a cardboard box that measures ~ 18 x 16.5 x 5 centimeters (~7 x 6.2 x 2 inches). Inside it, you will find 4 tubes and 4 plungers, with the tubes measuring just 1.06 ounces capacity-wise. Both the tubes and the plungers enable easy application and will let you cover sizable premises. Plus, the poison can be used indoors and outdoors.

Where things get a little hairy is figuring out where you should be placing the bait since the instructions that come with this product are not necessarily specific on this issue, so we would recommend watching instruction videos first.

Apart from that, Advion 383920 ranks among the best roach killers for home use. With this pet-safe product, you can kiss cockroaches goodbye, no one will miss them anyway.

Bayer Maxforce FC Magnum fits commercial and residential areas as well as indoor and outdoor use. This relentless poison does not care what the environment is, except that the gel can absorb dust and dirt, thus losing its efficacy, so we would recommend choosing less dusty areas. What we would also recommend is that you avoid using heavy detergents since the poison is effective even without them.

With the fast-acting formula and its composition containing five times the fipronil that the predecessors were using, this product leaves roaches no chances, none, zip, zilch, nada. To add more, the company's ContactX™ kill tech exterminates roaches not just by contact but also via ingestion.

According to the people behind the product, the irresistible formulation attracts even the more finicky roaches and, from what we can tell, they're not wrong. Plus, there's also the so-called Domino Effect®, with healthy roaches touching or eating dead roaches and spreading the poison, controlling entire colonies.

In other words, with Bayer Maxforce FC Magnum, you'll be killing even the roaches that you cannot (or do not) see. Thanks to this effect, one 1.06-ounce tube should last you at least 18 months.

Killing roaches is easy. Generally speaking, it is attracting them that's the hard part. Fortunately, MDXconcepts Organic Home Pest Control Spray is quite good at that part. While most roach killers contain almost nothing but poison, this spray incorporates 2% peppermint oil, 1% rosemary oil, 1% spearmint oil, and 3% sodium lauryl sulfate. Thanks to the nutrient-rich formula, we're not talking about just roaches finding the bait irresistible, we're also talking about spiders, fleas, mites, ants, stink bugs, silverfish, earwigs, even scorpions, and more. The product will attract and kill them all.

The same formula also makes the scent quite strong. Pleasant, but strong. In other words, we would not recommend applying the spray where you can easily smell it. That being said, assuming you're fine with the smell, its natural, non-toxic formula lets you apply the spray anywhere you want without worrying about children and/or pets.

Last but not least, the formula is more resilient and long-lasting than you might expect from the spray-based disposition, meaning that the product can be used indoors as much as outdoors, killing pests and making the surrounding environment that much more enjoyable.

Despite what the name suggests, this product from Zap-A-Roach zaps not just cockroaches but also most household pests, including ants, fleas, silverfish, and water bugs. Its more attractive quality though is that this bait exterminates pests without damaging baseboards, flooring, or appliances. The non-staining compound sticks onto most surfaces without leaving any residue when removed. Made from 100% boric acid, this product eliminates bugs without affecting people and most materials.

All you have to do is shake the bottle and twist the cap 'till it is fully open. Then, hold the bottle at a 45-degree angle, squeeze it, and the powder-based bait will flow freely. When dealing with corners that are not necessarily easily accessible, you can distribute the powder using a spoon (the powder-based formula can make precise application a bit challenging at times).

As long as you apply the powder liberally, scatting the product beneath and behind appliances, pipes, and drains, as well as in the cracks and crevices along baseboards, you should have no issues exterminating even the more stubborn pests. Furthermore, the two 16-pound bottles that come with the package should easily last you years.

Combat Max Roach Killing Gel keeps pest control and extermination as easy as the task should be. What we're working with here is one massive, 2.1-ounce syringe, with its small tip enabling easy application practically anywhere, including the smallest cracks and crevices. The fast-acting gel inside the syringe, incorporating just 0.01% fipronil, starts working almost as soon as you apply the gel (the delay will depend on multiple factors).

Now, the issue here is that, unlike the gel bait from Bayer that adds 0.05% fipronil, this product is not 100% effective without the company's bait stations and strips. That said, even without them, the gel is excellent at attracting roaches, making them ingest the bait and die somewhere around the time they reach the nest.

Still, the product's biggest strength is probably its long residual action. While most gel baits last weeks, this one makes every single application count, spending the next 2-3 months killing cockroaches 24/7.

Long story short, provided that the infestation is not that severe, Combat Max Roach Killing Gel will more than suffice, killing roaches without you figuring out countless factors like where you apply the gel, how to apply it, and so on.
