Mortein Control Bombs don't work.
I used these bombs in every room in my small unit, followed the instructions, they didn't work. I tried again, after all, the Mortein brand is trusted and has been around all my life, they did not work AGAIN, i still have small insects crawling on me. THIS PRODUCT IS RUBBISH.

Really useful at killing bugs
Very easy to use, always find dead insects on the ground days after use. Saw a roach in a bedroom last night so bombed it today and found the roach on its back dying. Have used these for years and can't understand the negative reviews. Some of the bombs have slightly different chemicals in different strengths so its worth switching brands.

Had to use over & over but eventually worked surprisingly well.
I was trying to clean up a vacated rental property - heavily infested with German & Australian cockroaches. They were everywhere. I was intending to have a professional pest person do but I wanted to clean, fix, re-paint & other maintenance tasks before calling.
After initial bombing of 6 cans, lots of bodies but still heaps more coming of of cupboards, walls ... I then continued bombing, doing 3 cans - half a house alternating at least twice a week for a few weeks.
There were substantially less but still a few around.
I also used surface sp...
Read morerays along cupboard/wall joins in areas of high infection. Then occasionally used a few cans & re-surface sprayed over the next 4 weeks. Eventually all cockroaches gone, far better result than I expected. So it appears that the property needed continual bombing over a few weeks to kill & break the breeding cycle. I never had a problem releasing any of the cans triggers, every one worked perfectly for 30 or so cans - much unlike quite a few of the other reviews here. Found the bombs very easy to setup & use

Works but doesn’t last
It works but only for 2-3weeks, So fleas have a 3 week stage to hatch, so this kills all current fleas but doesn’t stop the new ones hatching. So you need to re treat again, I know this because I bought 3 cans, used one can, no bites for 3weeks then bitten, used 2nd can, no bites again for 3weeks, used 3rd can and same again, no fleas for 3weeks now I’m freshly bitten again,
You can’t just use this solely which I’ve figured out,I’ve now bought a stronger product the 3month protection, so let’s so how this one works, I’m also going to go to mor...
Read moree extremes and coat carpet with flea powder, use lemon spray everywhere, need to break the cycle, there could be thousands of eggs, which lasts a very long time, could take months to eradicate, I’ve also been using a light/bowl trap, this seems to catch them, but doesn’t stop the eggs, To note, I have no pets, just takes one stray to invest your housePurchased in at Countdown for $17.99.

Seemed like they didn’t work ... then they did...
I have a small two bedroom square shaped unit with combined living/dining/kitchen. Very small. We had copious amounts of cockroaches. Huge huge ones that fly. It was terrifying. Once I read that cockroaches can and do bite I was terrified. They actually have teeth/fangs hard enough to puncture a nail! I read this in lots of pest blogs online!
I had a cockroach literally chase me I ran for about 30 seconds back and weaving from it and it kept coming at me like a bloody funnel web! That’s when I read online how aggressive some breeds can be and ...

Waste of money - terrible efficacy
Mortein is a good brand so I was surprised by how utterly ineffective this product is. Twice a year I do my home and normally use a cheaper brand but the pack of Mortein was on special so I grabbed those. Set them off in each closed room before leaving for work and when I got home the first thing I noticed was there weren't any dead roaches or bugs anywhere. We don't have a bad roach problem but normally there are half a dozen dead ones after bombing. That night spotted a few running around in different rooms when I turned on the light and this...
Read more continued for a week till i purchased the cheaper brand and did it again which stopped it. With the cheap brand for the first week we're picking up dead ones every morning and afternoon and from then not one for roughly 6 months. Seriously, buy the budget brand, they'll do a better job and save you money.Purchased in .

Waste of Money
