Combat Roach Killing Bait Strips

Kills quick
Kills nest
Sticky strip at back not super adhesive but I just put it on the floor behind and underneath fridge. Absolutely fantastic.
Dying roaches seem to lay an egg whilst dying, I just swept those up. Problem solved

Pro's:
1. Bait is fresh as it is double sealed from exposure in the packaging (the airtight satchel and the adhesive seal).
2. You can see when the active bait contents run out or have dried out.
3. Strips are less conspicuous than other black rectangular baits but...see Con's.

Con's:
1. The baits has a smell. Would not recommend for indoors in general. There may be areas where you may be OK with the bait smell but generally, my wife would pick up the scent and ask me to remove it!
2. The adhesive really doesn't work but I imagine its weak bec...

Just moved into an absolute dump.
It's a boarding house where the other residents leave their mess in the toilet and when I moved into my room, the woodboard floor was absolutely disgusting, stank like urine and sticky for days, even after I mopped several times-this building is ancient.
This place will be a real test for the traps- as the landlords recently even had some pest control spray a Powerful insecticide around all the rooms, and all it did was stop the roaches for about a week.

The rub will be if I have placed enough of them and if i...

I put the strip's out a month ago, I still get cockroaches and the bait has not been touched, still the same as the first day I put them out,cockroaches are avoiding them, do not buy

Not often I will race inside to post a review and I have been posting common sense reviews here for years. This stuff is sensational, sure it has two areas that aren't ideal, the sticky on the back is a bit weak and the top is slow to remove, but take your time it comes off cleanly. These kill cockies like no tomorrow, I've got dead remnants everywhere, so the nests should be a wipe out also. I've tried all brands, this one really works. If you are a whinger who can't operate a lock or flush a public toilet, these aren't for you, a bit of brains and nouse is needed here. I was astounded at the whingey, whiney comments, probably from city slickers. For me, we are semi rural and these work.

i have only just started to try and set them up. This in itself has been very hard. There is not enough sticky on the baits for them to stick to the surface, at this stage not very impressed with this product. Would I buy them again? Very much doubt it.

Not only will these not stick to any surface, they don't open fully. Some won't open at all, the tabs just break off. I don't know if they work because I couldn't get enough open to test.

Laid out where you get 'walk ins' & in 'daytime hiding' places, they work exceptionaly well with regular discovery of cockroaches that have past way. Their are no children or animals in the Unit, brilliant product & well worth the purchase of the last few years. Just placed our new Summer batch out.

Wow, just opened these and not happy at all. They dont stick, the bait is open and a potential risk for kids and pets. I am not sure how you would make them secure and keep out of reach.

This product 'kind-of' works. I've found it semi-effective at best when killing roaches. The adhesive is tricky to get off to expose the bait, and fingers risk coming into contact (mine have with a particularly stubborn strip) with the bait which I'd say is concerning. The underside adhesive sticks to some surfaces, not others.

Reasonable value for what it does though. It does kill roaches, but isn't useful for heavier infestations. If you have a light infestation, or get the jump on things as soon as you see that single roach (because th...

Tried several sprays and home remedies but used this and it was cockroach genocide. Worth shopping around because it's usually on special somewhere for about $6. Buy several packets and be patient, it will take a few weeks for them to disappear.

Difficult to set up. Really hard to pull off the adhesive strip. Adhesive strip doesn't stick.
Also really hard to pull off the strip that 'activates' the strip, and when you do get it off you get the poison all over your hands. What's more you can't use gloves as the whole thing is so fiddly and hard to get open. So this is a dangerous product.

The backing strip fails to stick to anything, even if the surface is clean. The strips are also really difficult to open and kept tearing. I ended up throwing them in the bin after 15 mins of persisting to use them.

No adhesive at all. Would be great if one could place on a wall where the roaches are.Had to just lay on shelf. Disappointed, with that. Hopefully they will work well.

This actual bait is the most effective ever!!!. Dead roaches both in the cupboards & (lesser extent) not so hidden. Tropics has many types of roach incl big flying ones, wood roaches etc so life cycle ongoing from environment, can have totally sterile home & roaches still come.
I agree with other reviews that this product is not user friendly to set up, but the end result is that it does what it is meant to do. I do like discreet strips as opposed to bulkier bait stations. Would prefer to be able to purchase in different quantities & application styles
