Cockroaches

[MusicalMan]

Hi All
So after a year of living in my flat, I've started noticing quite a lot of cockroaches, it's those little ones (I believe they're called German Cockroaches).
I don't want the problem to get any worse.
I've seen suggestions on gels/powders/acids.
Has anyone successfully been able to eradicate these little ****s? What worked for you?

Thanks

Flat?
The Body Corporate need to look at the issue too. Pointless they're all over the place and you're trying to get rid of them.

those little ones are the worst, they also cannibalize to survive apparently.

from what ive seen, only a professional fumigator gets rid of them.

Borax powder. Put it in old 2l Milk tops in the corners of your cupboards, wherever you can hide them. The cockroaches eat the powder, kills them and their eggs.

From my own experience with these buggers, the only trap that worked was this one: http://www.efekto.co.za/wp-content/uploads/mixing_labels/TRAP A ROACH.pdf

Also, keep kitchen as clean as possible, everything sealed.

They stink to hell and back, plus you need to leave the house for the day, also seal all fridges and grocery cupboards. Not practical.

Or Boraxic Acid, R16 at Clicks. I had to get myself some not too long ago.

Same thing +/-. We got at Clicks as well. Really works and it doesnt stink.

Seems very simple...

At 5 times the price of Borax.

Blattanex works well.

What worked for you?

Thanks

If your place is clean and no food is left lying around, then they're coming from your neighbours.

There is a country wide cockroach problem now I think, everybody I know has an infestation of sorts, and some of them are the biggest germophobes you will ever meet.
