When I was a pest control professional German Roaches were a special problem and could not be controlled by the sprays that we used for other pests. The spray that we used to control German Roaches is no longer available to the public.

Here is what works: RAID Roach Gel (syringe dispenser) or Combat Max Gel (syringe dispenser.) One or the other can be found at Home Depot or Office Max.

You simply apply a bit of the gel in several locations around the infested area, usually the kitchen, and the roaches are attracted to the gel, which they walk through and ingest.

Read and follow the instructions carefully. Do not apply the gel where children or pets can reach it. Do not apply it where spray poison has been applied, and do not spray poison over the gel where applied.

Quite simply, it works! I wouldn't use anything else for control of a German Roach problem. Of course it kills other roaches too.

Good info in case I ever need it.
