To kill roaches, run after them with either a hammer or shoe. Swing your item at the roach in a downward motion for a crushing blow. If you are getting tired of roaches in your home, you may wish to consider some other methods.
Kill Them At The Source
You can stomp every roach in your house and it won't make a difference. Why? They lay eggs. There will be an eternal provide unless you get them to stop laying eggs or get to the nest. It's not exactly realistic to find the nest. Let's see, which wall or ceiling should I look in? Fortunately, there are products that don't require you to search the nest. There are products the roaches will take back to the nest for you (how convenient).
Bait Paste
This is perhaps the best solution, ever. You take a small dab of paste and put it under sinks and counters where the roaches may be. Roaches are attracted to the marvelous paste and eat it. The toxicity is so low they don't perceive they are in danger. Then, they take the paste back to their home and feed the younglings. It kills the adults and the babies. It's about the slickest method to get rid of roaches. One application and you are guaranteed to get rid of roaches for an entire year. You will need to do one thing, in addition, to make this work perfectly. It's simple. Keep your house clean of food and water sources; especially until the roaches are eliminated.
Fumigants
I always drink my soda with a straw after cleaning the top of the can. Here is why. Before I knew about bait paste, I bought some fumigant cans at the grocery store. When I sprayed, I noticed that the fumigant got on many of my canned goods. It was then I realized that lots of citizen spray with this stuff for roaches and that it was likely many canned items get contaminated in stores. Grocery market must eliminate roaches.
I don't even like to think about leaving the house and fumigating the whole thing. It's naturally a best idea to use bait paste.
Home Concoctions
They for real work. They kill roaches, but don't get to the source of the problem. If you had a minor infestation, you may be able to get control of the pests, but roach paste is so inexpensive it doesn't make a lot of sense unless you are pretty much broke. A good surmise to brew a home concoction is for temporary relief until you can get the right stuff. To make home made roach killer, use one cup flour, one cup Borax, and one cup sugar. Mix with water, as needed, for a paste, or don't add water and use it as a dust.
Traps
Again, traps catch roaches, but are about as sufficient as stomping on them. It doesn't get to the root of the problem, the nest. Traps can be purchased at most grocery stores. They are beneficial because they help you find out where the highest concentrations are.
Dust
Dusts are put lightly on the floor. When the roaches run over the dust, they get it on them. Then, when the roach cleans him or herself the poison kills them. The most beloved dust is made of Boric Acid. Paste is for real easier to use than dust, because the roaches come to the paste. You don't have to guess where the roaches walk. In addition, dust products are not sufficient at killing the roaches in the nest.
