HELP!! Bugs! Best way to get rid of ****roaches?

[tattoo_mama]

we get the big flying ones, apparently they arent after dirt or food just the warmth, we get the mortein lure n kill surface spray, and spray it around the perimeters of the house. it smells gross (like strong orange oil) but it seems to work a treat, you find the buggers dead about 10cm from whereever youve sprayed...ive also suggestd this stuff to other BB girls and its worked for them.

alot cheaper than pest control anyway!!! GL

Niliac - Yep, german ****roaches are those little ones... they start of black and then turn brown as they get mature... usually they have their eggs hanging out behind them (gross!)

I was so glad when we got rid of them...apparently they've been known to kill TV's, Washing machines & refrigerators too! I wanted them gone before anything like that happened.

I actually heard once that if you spray them with something, they lay their eggs just as they are dying & the eggs are immune to whatever you sprayed them with. So eventually they are mutants that just won't die!
We have them ATM too & I'm using the egg stopper spray stuff. It kills the eggs too, so I'm hoping that works.
We are on the coast & have always had problems with them here, but when we lived out west for 4 years, we never had one.
It also depends on your house & the way its built. Ours has garage & storage underneath, then behind the storage room, there's another door that goes under the house, & coz there's all that space, thats where they come from or something. Coz the house is off the ground, but its all closed in under IYKWIM?
Mum & Dad lived in this house & had the same probs, when they moved into a house level on the ground, all was solved. We will be moving in a few weeks & I'm praying the same goes for us!

We were told a similiar thing with Redbacks when we had the place sprayed for them. The chemicals kill the actual Redback, but not the eggs, which don't hatch till it's safe and then you have an infestation of the buggers again! We were told to book a follow up appointment a few months later to get any eggs that would hatch after the pest man had been.
