CombatMax 12 Month Roach Killing Bait, Small Roach Bait Station, Child-Resistant, 18 Count

I never write reviews, but this product really deserves one. When we moved into this apartment, I noticed some small roaches around, so I tried Maxforce gel, which had worked for me in the past. However, this time the insects were really stubborn and were everywhere in the apartment. I battled them for over a year, and my husband didn’t help much — he would leave food on the floor and on the countertop, and wouldn’t wash the dishes. I was so stressed that I once found an empty egg case in the dishwasher (which my husband never used), and I got really mad at him.Since I travel a lot on weekends, I barely had a chance to keep up with the cleaning, so the roaches were basically having a big party here.I was very concerned about my baby, so I used to take him with me when traveling. By June, I was so fed up that after being away for two weeks, I came back to a situation that was barely tolerable. The roaches were everywhere — not just at night, but during the day too! I used a Raid fogger and searched for different ways to fight the infestation. Honestly, I had read so many good reviews about this product that I figured I had nothing to lose. The price is incredibly cheap compared to professional pest control (which I don’t trust at all — especially after living with an aunt who had rats. I ended up taking control myself because their solutions were useless).Anyway, I left again and came back with the baby. After the third day, I started to worry because I found roaches in places they normally don’t show up. I was concerned that this product wasn’t working, but there was a noticeable difference — the roaches were slower than usual. Then I traveled again, and when I returned after two weeks, I saw that the mature roaches were gone, except for a few little ones that I assume had just hatched (and I expect them to be gone soon!)It’s been a month now, and I’d say that in the past week I’ve only seen two small ones — and nothing else. (Before, I used to see them constantly during the day.)I’d say this is a great solution. No need to smear paste on the walls or in the corners (which looks anything but discreet). I finally have peace of mind and can bring my baby home without feeling overwhelmed about hygiene.

As the title says, these do actually work as far as reducing the number of roaches roaming around your kitchen (ow where ever you have them). I live in an apartment and didn't originally have roaches as far as I could tell. Once the people above me moved out, maintenance renovated the unit which I guess sent their roaches down to me. Frustrating and disgusting. I had buy large Rubbermaids to store all of the food in my pantry and sit them on chairs in my dining area just to keep them away from my food.All this to say I bought these because my dad suggested them. They do in fact work. I noticed about 2 days after laying them out that I was seeing less bugs. Now it has been maybe 2 weeks and I rarely see any. I still had pest control come out to spray for them (we'll see how well that helps) but I can attest to the Combat killers working. There's no sticky residue or anything. All you have to do is take them out of the package and lay them where you see roaches often. Easy to use and definitely work.IF YOU HAVE PETS, put these out where they can not get to them. Apparently these traps have a sweet smell to them that dogs like. My dog got two and chewed them up. They're not toxic to pets but they can't kill any bugs if they're all chewed up. lol

These take some time to work, but once they've been down for a few weeks they work really well. I like that you can set them around on counters too and not have to worry about contamination.

Well it's an amazing product to say, I got it two days ago and, followed the instructions on the back, which said open the plastic and palce it where you see roaches, in just 2 days. I have seen one dead roach. well it has no smell and works great, you got to wait it your for a couple of days,or maybe a fortnight to be honest to see the dead roaches. Perhaps maybe it has a slow posion, make sure you wash your hands with soap and water after using the product, I qm.lokomg forward to use but it again. Just kidding it works so great I don't even need to buy it again..

We started spotting water bugs in our home a few years ago. Calling an exterminator didn’t feel right—we weren’t dealing with a full-blown insect problem, and we were cautious about using harsh chemical sprays, especially with pets in the house.Instead, we gave these a try. The label promised “No Vapor, Fumes or Odor,” which gave us some peace of mind. We placed them in areas near water: inside bathroom vanities, behind the washing machine, under the kitchen sink, and behind toilets (basically anywhere near water). The results were impressive—within days, the bugs were gone. And although the box label recommended replacing them every three months, we’ve found they’re effective far longer than that. We always keep a "spare box" on hand and as soon as we see one, we replace them. I definitely recommend!
