Best Roach Baits

Harris Boric Acid Roach Killer The powder contains a lure to which roaches are said to be attracted. The appeal of using a powder like such is that you have more control over where the lure and roach killer is applied. As opposed to a pack of plastic stations you can only set in as many places as traps you have, a powder can be spread all along crevices and roach-prone areas.

A bonus of this product is that it also eradicates silverfish. So, if you have a problem with those speedy buggers, this powder should take care of that, too. Keep in mind, this is a powder that will sit along places like baseboards, so if you have pets or small children use extreme caution when considering how that will work out in your home.

If you’ve only seen one or two cockroaches, or know you are just dealing with a small infestation, this product is ideal. The Hot Shot Ultra Liquid Roach Bait comes with six small stations to kill roaches and their eggs. The premise behind this roach killer is the lure of appealing food and water within the station in a no spill, no drip device.

This lure is also alluring to ants so it can take care of an indoor ant problem as well. You pull the tab on the side of the station which will break the seal of a vile containing the bait inside. Then place the stations where you have seen ants or cockroaches, or in areas near walls, cabinets, under sinks, or near your refrigerator.

The Advion Cockroach Bait Station (60 count bag) uses a small, circular station or “arena” that utilizes the active ingredient indoxacarb which is a slow acting insect killer. The Advion roach killer claims to have no residue or odor. With 60 of these stations in a bag, you can place these cockroach killers in several places and cover a lot of ground, even in larger homes.

The slow pace of this poison provides enough time for the cockroaches to spread the poison throughout their colony. This product is said to last a long time, with one customer stating it lasted up to three years.

The Advion Cockroach Gel Bait (four syringes of 1.06 ounces each) is the highest rated roach killer on this list. Rather than a powder or plastic station, this is a gel bait that can be used near food handling areas, and in commercial, industrial, and residential places. Because it will not blow away like a powder, it can also be used for both indoor and outdoor use.

Advion Cockroach Gel Bait utilizes MetaActiveTM as a trademarked active ingredient that is noted to be suitable for up to two years. One review suggests placing the gel product on tape for easier cleanup and re-application. Apply this gel along crevices or areas roaches are likely to creep or have been seen.
