Some Tips On Using Outdoor Roach Products

•    Make Sure You Keep Them Dry

This is most important when first applying the products, but you should be careful to not place them outside before a rain storm or to water the area immediately after application as getting wet will reduce the effectiveness of the granular product.

•    Think About Combining Them With Other Methods

Although granular roach control products are great for overall control of roaches outdoors, they can be made even more effective when combined with products such as insect growth regulators or IGRs which disrupt the life cycle of the insects at the larval stage and provide longer term control of the problem.

•    Keep Kids And Pets Away After Application

Although these products are not highly toxic to mammals, the areas that have been treated should be kept clear of pets and kids according to the manufacturer’s instructions for at least a few hours after the product has been applied in order to avoid any accidental contact.

•    Check The Inside Of Your Home Too

If you’re treating the outside of your home to kill roaches, it pays to check for signs of infestation inside the house as well. Be sure to check under appliances and in cabinets, as these are common hiding places for these bugs. If you should find an infestation, you can be sure that we’ll have all the products you’ll need to kill the roaches and get them out for good.
