T500SR Indoor Multi-Surface Roach Bait Stations - Indoor Roach Killer, 12 Bait Stations, Black

Came to these from The Wirecutter's review. This thinned my apartment's cockroach population dramatically. I had been having several cockroaches show up every night in various placed for several weeks, and these killed most of them very quickly. I've been getting up after six hours of sleep regularly to go pee, and I had gotten in the habit of turning on a dim light and grabbing my salt shotgun and shooting them for a while before going back to bed. Removing the cockroaches from my apartment has improved my sleep dramatically. A few recommendations for use: - Buy twice as many as you think need. You'll end up wanting to cover more rooms, or to cover each room more thoroughly. Cockroaches tend to find safe habitats and scavenge for food around just that habitat, so you need to put traps where they'll find them when foraging. - The adhesive is not great. I've left them directly on my floor, but the traps are small enough that I don't notice them. - Cockroaches /do/ migrate sometimes, so be warned that they might have expanded to places that you haven't trapped yet. I didn't know that they had migrated to my bedroom, so I needed to add more traps there. When a cockroach dies, I've been just vacuuming it up with the wand from my vacuum cleaner. Also be careful to look for and vacuum up egg sacs (small black pellets). I had to switch from eating black beans to eating pinto beans during my cockroach problem to simplify sac identification. When a cockroach is poisoned, it can tend to wander around slowly like a drunk little bug. It took a full week for my cockroaches to explore my apartment and see all the traps. Many found the traps during the first night and died, but not all. It took me a few days to find the ones in my bedroom, so that delayed the end of the infestation. My cockroaches only come out at night. When I notice a cockroach, I grab my fly-swatter salt shotgun and shoot it. Cockroaches can sense and avoid big things coming after them, but they don't understand salt grain shots. They don't react to noise, so if the gun discharges but doesn't hit them, they don't move. The pain from the pellets (but only the pain) makes them freak out and run. Their evasion patterns are erratic because they assume that there's a predator they don't understand. I refuse to put these on my kitchen countertops, so the only bugs that I see now are the bugs whose scavenging grounds are my kitchen countertops.

Fire ants invaded my carpeted bedroom. I could see them making a trail to the bathroom. They got in my bed and bit my toes. Pest control found the mound outside and destroyed it and I thought I had a few still in the house so I kept vacuuming them up but they kept coming. One night they got in my CPAP machine and that was the last straw. It wasn’t until I got the traps that I realized that there were hundreds of them under the carpet. They flooded the traps! At first I thought they were stuck in there but no, they were just all up in that liquid. Then they were gone and the traps were dry as a bone. It took two days but even during that time the sight of them diminished. I am guessing they were all going back under the carpet…which is gross but wow, whatever is in these traps, it’s irresistible to ants, there must be a scent but I couldn’t smell anything. This is really easy to do! You just snap it open and leave it in areas where you see the ants. I have two walk in closets, put two in there, two under my nightstands and one in the bathroom. You have to keep this away from pets. I have a cat so I strategically put it in places he couldn’t get to. You don’t have to put it in the ants path though. They will seek it out as if it’s a food source! Infestations are stressful, don’t wait to do this, trying out other methods first. Just start with this and get it over with. It gets things back to normal very quickly!

Awesome product!! I already swear by the ant bait....and now I can add these to my arsenal. I haven't seen 1 critter since I put them out. THANK YOU TERRO!!

work great, easy to use

Hard to tell if it works or not. I assume it's helping, but it certainly ifnt getting totally rid of the roach problem.

Works great!’

I was horrified to hear there was a cockroach in the apartment and immediately ordered these. We placed them everywhere, focusing on the kitchen. After a few months, no more roach!! It's convenient because it's sealed so you don't touch the poison and the window on the trap lets you see when there's no more.

What happened to this product? I first discovered these traps in 2023, when my apartment had a roach infestation. I was amazed at how quickly they solved the problem. This year, thanks to an empty apartment next to mine, the roaches are back in full force snd this product has done nothing - nada, zilch - to stop the plague. Every morning, I find baby roaches swarming over my stove, walls, and bathroom sink and laughing at these traps. I would never recommend this product again.

التغليف والحجم والشكل رائع اشتريته لاني شفت صرصور صغير طالع في المطبخ بالليل إلى الان ماشفت صراصير طلعت ميتة وما أعرف إذا انتهت من المطبخ او لا لان غالبا المصيدة لما احطها أبدا اشوف حشرات ميته لكن نفس الشكرة جربت نوع الي للنمل وكانت ممتازة اختفت تماما

I have been using the product for three weeks. The cockroaches are dying in the bathroom, but their colonies are not being eradicated. Disappointed, especially since I purchased the product based on its rating.

Waste of money the product is not working as the cockroach will not enter and eat the poison if you put it in a place where there is other food resources (food spill and leftovers) the cockroach will not interested in the trap . This product will only work if there is no other food resource for the cockroach to ear from
