Oldie Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I always made a poison buffet for them with every poison you can buy in the supermarket. But the best result I got with the most expensive one - from Bayer. This removed them completely. Useless are the glue traps. Sadly often Geckos ended there and therefore I stopped using them. It is impossible to get rid of cockroaches with them. You can control with some luck if there are still some left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also available in FoodLand Absolutely works. A bit expensive but you only use a few drops at a time. After trying the boric acid thing with dubious results I used this stuff. Ants were gone in days. Don't know at all about roaches though. Tremendous and can buy on Lazada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one version for cockroaches and another on for ants (with clear pictures on the cover). I only use the cockroach version and that works great within hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the purple bottle) is the strongest.Poured some of that down the same drain and voila roaches are gone. Of course I flushed the system with plain water later.

I found that a little talcum powder around the room corners did the trick.They were always tits up in the morning and never made it into the house. Best by far is an elevated home like I have now. Have not seen one since living on stilts. Flies and mozzies are also rare after going 3 meters up. I lived on 8 th floor in Korat that didn’t stop them thx god screens on windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneeyedJohn Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Positive news, I was cooking lunch and suddenly saw a fully grown cockroach on the floor in front of the cooker, so I kicked it outside whereupon it regained its feet and ran away before I could stamp it to death. Was sure it was dead but it had me fooled, it will be dead soon I am sure as there is no antidote for Boric acid. A lunchtime attempted murder, give me more of that. Nightime will be hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneeyedJohn Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) More positive news, I have now discovered at least 4 dead cockroaches in my kitchen, the sink, and the floor. in the daytime, and they looked a little lacking, like a stomach for example. My wife is less than scrupulous about leaving dirty plates out overnight, but nonetheless I am encouraged. Normally , as I am the first to wake up, the kitchen sinks will have at least 1 or 2 of the little <deleted>**ers running around, which I squash. But now I think I am reaching a permanent solution, everyone's desire. Edited November 20, 2020 by OneeyedJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy from Kent Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 OP You don't say if you live in a village or in the middle of Bangkok. I assume that's not an oversight. If you live in a dense population no matter what you do, the effectiveness of it will depend on the actions of your neighbors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very toxic as far as I know. Take a look at Raid's products(like this). It's very effective and you can find it in all of 7eleven and FamilyMart shops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) That was one surprising thing I discovered about moving to a rural village from Bangkok. Not seen a single cockroach dead or alive in 6 years ! A hell of a lot more jing joks and 10 grades of ants but no roaches which is good because I loath them. Plenty of home made roach traps on youtube. I've tried them and they are simple and work. Example : Edited October 24, 2021 by Denim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmjc Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 It's wise to avoid all pesticides and toxic chemicals. Encourage Bats to roost in your garden by hanging bat-boxes. Pyrethroid based products illustrated here are toxic to pets, amphibians and fish. Chucks and kittens will polish off sedentary cockroaches, and bats will scoop them out of the air. Boiling water fixes ant nests, and keeping the indoors clean works for most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Mix boric acid powder with fine castor sugar and distribute as fine layer over the CR walk. It sticks to them and kills them when they groom. Baking powder works the same way... There is also a minute bone preparation that cuts them up and is non toxic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borax is sodium tetraborate, Na2(B4O5(OH)4).8H2O. It does not matter which form it is in, it's the boron which is toxic to insects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farang two dot zero Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Someone has used this gel before, it's for sale 69 on Lazada. Is it the same as Bayer Blattanex Gel Cockroach Killer 12g ? https://ibb.co/MMhTT0K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
