How to get rid of roaches.

We had roaches, they've seem to just have disappeared now though and now I see alot of crickets around my house. I was wondering if this had to do with the crickets.

move lol

Well, I know what you are going through i have zillions of them and they mostly only come out at night a few durng the day..my hubby like to turn off the lights for about 15-20 minutes then turn it back on and start killing with a fly swat..lol.. seems though the more he kills the more we have the next day..well i went to yahoo search and typed in kill roaches and it came back with something they all say is number one... and you ca get it at a ace hardware store near you..called..Roach Pruf in a yellow and black can.. My husbands sister says it is the best..But i had to order online because we do not have a Ace hardware near us close..But you can also get it off ebay..Good luck......And happy roach killing...

mmm call the pest control, and ask do they offer a warrenty with their work as they may need to be called out again. Good luck :)

call an exterminator who guarentees there service for 1 year. Last year when I moved into the house I am in.. they were everywhere at night (of course you never see a house at night before you buy) I called a local company and they guarntee for a year... haven't seen any since

They live in dark places...SO they might be coming from the place you least expect. They are hard to get rid of. My neighbor had them for the longest time and their were so many that they would come out during the day and night! Usually they hide when there's light! You should try an exterminator...one of those companies that covers the house for 3 days...That would be the best thing to do get rid of them all at once!

Squish em ^.^

oh sympathies, I hate roaches and probably couldnt confortably live in an infested area. Can the pest control people help at all?

There are not many ways to totally get rid of roaches. Boric acid kills them, but it is dangerous to children and pets. I have found that glue traps are a way to help control them, but they don't completely get rid of them. The best way to get rid of them is to hire a professional exterminator.

We use Diatomaceous Earth and it works great. http://www.gardenharvestsupply.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=11&idproduct=39

I got a divorce and the roach never came back.
