About this deal

Depending on the degree of your infestation and the amount of effort you are willing to do on your own (before you call an expert extermination service), any of our recommendations are applicable. But here's the basic run-down of application and effectiveness of each type of trap and poison: In recent years, reports of the use of heavy duty bug sprays as an illicit drug have gained notoriety. [8] Although products such as Raid are relatively safe to humans (when used as intended), the act of huffing, smoking, snorting, vaping, plugging, drinking and/or injecting Raid or other bug sprays can cause irreversible neurological damage, or even death. Some roach killers can also target other pests. For example, the Ortho Home Defense MAX Insect Killer Spray can get rid of roaches, ants, spiders, stink bugs, and centipedes. These multipurpose killers are useful for homes experiencing a wide range of pest problems. Safety

Manage Your Trash: Keep trash in sealed bins and take it out regularly. Roaches can be drawn to the scent of garbage, so properly disposing of waste can help keep them at bay. Roach killers are toxic by nature, but plenty of chemicals will exterminate without being toxic to pets and humans. Here's more about the toxicity in the active ingredients found within the products we recommend:A preventative spray, Ortho Home Defense Insect Killer is effective for about three months at keeping roaches and plenty of other six-legged creatures at bay. Toxicity: We considered whether active ingredients were toxic to humans and pets. Essentially, everything is at the very least mildly toxic, but some options, like the Fipronil found in Raid's Bait Stations, were considerably less problematic for pets. Some models can last longer than a few weeks. For example, the Raid Concentrated Deep-Reach Fogger keeps killing for up to two months after initial application. Targeted Pests

Chemicals that affect the central nervous system of insects work best, especially because they're so effective with roaches but don't tend to affect mammals (specifically pets and humans) to the same degree. Cypermethrin, Imiprothrin, Fipronil, and Indoxacarb are the more common EPA-approved ones and the active ingredients found in the products we recommend above. The line was first used in commerce in 1966 and was trademarked in 1986. Noted animation director Tex Avery was the producer of the first "Kills Bugs Dead" commercials. Artist Don Pegler developed the bug characters used in the US and continued animating them for forty years. [6] Pegler "codified the look, feel and animation" of the weird insects that run in fear of Raid, according to Steve Schildwachter, executive vice-president at Draftfcb. [7]North America, United Kingdom, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Morocco, European Union, Israel, Australia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Russia, Argentina, Chile, Vietnam Indoxacarb: Classified by the United States EPA as a "not likely" human carcinogen, Indoxacarb is a pyrethroid also used to prevent the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms from insects to humans and other animals. Still, it has caused neurotoxicity in several studies of both mice and rats, and you'll want to seek medical attention if ingested. Matain a Clean Home: Keeping a clean living environment can help keep roaches looking elsewhere. Roaches are attracted to things like food crumbs and spills. Regularly sweep, mop, and vacuum floors, and wipe down countertops and surfaces after meals. We queried experts at the National Pest Management Association to learn what chemicals and traps to use and when it's time to call in the professionals. The best solution for your infestation will probably be a combination of two or three of the products we recommend below, considering the resilience of your foes. Even though they outlived the dinosaurs, we've got the chemicals and the technology.
