What Are The Different Types Of Cockroach Killers?

There are 5 types of cockroach killers in this collection.

  • Aerosol sprays

    Cans that kill the cockroaches they hit, for cracks and spot treatment.

  • Powders

    Diatomaceous earth or pyrethrin dusts for cracks, baseboards and the dry spots where cockroaches hide.

  • Sticky traps

    Glue traps with no insecticide that catch cockroaches and show where they travel.

What Should You Look For In A Cockroach Killer?

  1. Canadian registration

    Every spray, powder and gel here is registered in Canada and shows its PCP number in the specs. Sticky traps need no number: they contain no insecticide.

  2. Bait or contact

    Gel baits are eaten by the cockroaches; sprays and powders kill the ones they touch; sticky traps catch and monitor.

  3. Where they hide

    Kitchens and bathrooms: under sinks, behind appliances, in cabinet corners.

How Do You Get Rid Of Cockroaches?

  • Read and follow the label of every product.
  • Put sticky traps along walls and under sinks first: they show where cockroaches are active.
  • Place gel baits in cracks near that activity, and keep sprays away from the baits.
  • Clean up food and water sources. For cockroaches that keep coming back, call a pest control professional.
