Does a roach die immediately with contact of the substance or do they eat the substance and die later?

I had a lot of roaches over the stove in the range hood . So when I unscrewed the hood and apply the bait and screwed it back , roaches was falling on the stove all night dead or in the process of dying . So the answer to your question is yes . Roaches die immediately

They eat it and die later. My dad's house was soooooooooooo infested, when you went to the bathroom it was like roach wars on the walls you would see like 9 at a time, and forget putting food down in the kitchen. I used all 4 tubes the first time I put it out, 100's of dead roaches all over the floor the next morning so it works fast. 1 month out and 7 tubes put out I find maybe one roach a day now. This stuff is AMAZING!!!! would on all kinds of roaches. He had flying Japanese ones, German ones, American ones, they are all dead!!!!!!

They eat it and then die, but the next day I found many dead on my floor and cabinets. Now we are almost completely free of them. It is the best I have found and I tried many different things. I think it is great for the money. You just put little spots in cracks around molding at ceiling and anywhere I could find a little crack. It works great.

It is a contact insecticide, so it wont do anything to kill the roaches that do not directly come in contact with the powder

I know first hand it kills roaches and mosquitos. Check with your local do-it-yourself pest control, they should know.

You might not see any dead roaches but the question is are there any live ones in my case every time I open the silverware drawer there was a roach after using this product I did not see another roach for weeks in my kitchen. The key is the roaches bring the bait to the nest and kill the nest so it is possible they are gone but you don't see any dead ones. Just keep it up for at least a week it'll work

I do not know. All I know is that we were seeing 2-5 roaches a day and over a weeks time I unloaded an entire tube (not all at once) in the crevice above the dishwasher. That was the week before Thanksgiving 2014 and the next week until now (end of Feb 2015) we have not seen any roaches. Putting the little dabs did not seem to work well. I highly reccomend this product.

yes It will kill them really well. They eat it and it don't kill them right away. They take it back to their nest. What they walk through it tracked back to nests to kill off the population. They crawl out looking for water (I guess since they turned up dead all around water sources) and then they die. The roaches not effected will eat the dead roaches and die too. (you won't have to leave dead roaches out...just good to know for ones that die inside walls) It is worth buying. Only issue I had Lynn was that I got 3 tubes when they advertised 4...but I wasn't even upset enough about it to bother contacting the seller.

Ants are very fastidious and will consume their dead. The ants will consume some of the jell as well as taking some back to the colony. If they die where the bait is located, they are taken back to the colony where they are consumed along with the ants that make it back to the colony then die. The dead are consumed even by those who remain in the colony thereby passing the poison to all of the ants. If there are dead ants near the bait, you can be sure that the colony has been destroyed. It doesn't matter if you can't figure out where the ants are coming from as long as they can find the bait. Terro has a spray that works quite well if you can figure out where the ants are getting into the house. Ants are very fastidious and will consume their dead.

It takes time but over the months you will see them disappear. It does kill roaches once they ingest it. It's great for killing other bugs as well. I usually apply it every 5 to 8 months.

Some really big roaches can eventually make their way off the pad, but it will catch many of them for sure. It will take a mean one a day or two to eventually get off, so you'll have time to kill him anyway.

They eat it and then find someplace to die. In my case it died under my hot tub ! Gross, but at least hes gone...

I am not sure if it kills black widow spiders with direct contact. I used it for the roach problem that I had at my apartment and it had worked perfectly. Well even though roaches didn't die when I sprayed it directly on them, I did notice an exponential increase in dead roaches in the days followed to no roaches till now. Now not only I don't see any roaches in my apartment, but also not any other bugs. So to answer your question from my experience I'm confident that it will get rid of black widow spiders possibly by both ways of contact.

Decaying roaches...they don't wanna check out. Get some chopsticks, pull 'em out and stirfry quickly with chillies and fresh basil till crisp.

I use it in my house like in my bedroom and the bathroom. We get these big water roaches or whatever they call them. They are big cockroaches as far as I'm concerned. They are the size of your thumb and fast! This is the only thing I have come to find that will kill them. Just spray in a premier around the room with a small handheld spray bottle. I use warm water and the product will turn into a milky color but will dry clear.

I'm afraid due to the nature of the way this product is used you would need to be able to be within arms reach of most places. Now keep in mind this is a lure as well and as long as the location is clean of any other food sources the roaches will consume it and die.

I'm not a qualified professional so don't take my word as gospel but my opinion is to not use it. It could, as you said, render the other poisons less desirable to the roaches and I wouldn't worry much about the roaches in other places. The roaches will contaminate the whole nest. Then the dead roaches get eaten (with poison in their cadavers) and even their feces gets eaten so they should spread the bait everywhere.

I don't know types of roaches. I had water roaches the tiny black and white, the regular size brown roaches. It really helps a lot. It does take a little time. It is not immediately. Over several days. I would find dead roaches everywhere. I still find dead roaches. It is great. I do not have any animals in the house so I am not sure how it would affect animals inside the house. It is plugged in the wall. So I guess the Electric waves kill the roaches.
