I'm uh, asking for a friend that has a roach problem. What's the best stuff to use to keep roaches at bay? I have quite a few crawling around in my garage at night. I have a pump sprayer that I could use for any concentrated stuff.

TIA

When I lived in LA, I found Bengal spray to be the best.

They also make a concentrate.

Bayer Suspend SC will kill most pests, not just roaches.

And also, boric acid works well- but can be messy and you dont want your kids/pets to get in it

We almost got kicked out of a hunting camp when we sprayed it as the guys kept getting pissed sweeping up all the dead bugs.

Sorry, meant to hit the up arrow. Talstar is amazing but DO NOT use it indoors. Spray the outside of your house and you'll have zero bugs.

If you have a spreader use Talstar granular with Verge in your lawn and flower beds and then Suspend in and around the house.

Just did this last weekend. Haven't even seen a bug on my porch since.

I don't see the need to spray anything inside. I really don't get why people do that... Bugs come from outside.

best things I have used are triazicide outside (flower beds and house foundation) and Bengal spray inside...both work wonderfully and are available at any lowes or home depot....
