Roach Spray |

My mom taught me this very effective tip for roaches: fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and keep handy. They die immediately upon contact.

Orange Oil kills them very quickly and smells good

the best kind of control I have found is Bengal roach spray. not only does it kill them, but leaves a barrier for up to 6mo. plus offers a money back guarentee! This stuff really works, it is the only brand I use.

Thats a good one----Karens right-the breathing holes are called 'spiracles' but if you don't get all the holes doused(they have many) you may just end up wounding the roach----seeing as they can live without their head for several days--I suspect they'd survive this too.

Dawn for Roaches
To kill roaches on contact without using any harmful chemicals, mix 1 part Dawn dishwashing soap to 2 parts water in a spray bottle. Just spray on roach and they die in seconds! I tried this and it really works!!

I've kept alcohol in a spray bottle for at least 40 years,[ not the same alcohol of course] for cleaning & wound care ,as well as for my pierced ears . Thanks for this great hint . This summer is quite buggy . I Love the sprayers from 409 bottles & fetch them from recycling whenever I see them . They have a Long Needle spray & a Fan spray too . I will be spritzing the nasties aplenty now. Hmm,maybe I need to put alcohol on my shopping list. Thanks So Much .
I use the needle spray quite effectively on water bottles to discourage my pets from misdeeds & got plently of them out of trees when I still let them outside .

Actually, rubbing alcohol will kill any insect or spider on contact. Because these animal take in oxygen through their carapaces (shells), spraying them with alcohol suffocates them. So it is great for ants, wasps, spiders, fleas, etc. The only thing worth noting, though, is that it only works on bugs if it is sprayed directly on them-- that is, it will not prevent them from entering, nor will it kill any others than the ones you directly spray. So rubbing alcohol is good for immediate insect elimination, but not for long term control.

Would love to hear how this works for you also Jojo This would be lovely to use. I don't have roaches at this time, but good to file away in the back of my mind

I've never heard of this one, but I certainly will give it a try.
