    Glad to hear about the demon. They have been coming back into my house too. We keep the house clean. Literally as I'm typing this one just crawled under the door from outside! And the dang weather strip is flush on the bottom! **** I hate these things

Never saw another after 1 week.
      I bought off ebay for cheap, only needed one packet of the 3 sent.
      Definitely something I will look into.

        I assume you have German roaches , the little ones, and they are a pain to get rid of. Fumigate and burn the place down.

          Rid the weeds and rotten leaves immediately around the house and clean out the rain gutters. Eliminate decaying vegetation everywhere around the home and spray into all cracks and points of access from outside.

          Demon inside everywhere

          Bomb the hell out of the attic. I mean put a crap load of them up there in the attic and shut the electricity off to the house.

          Box up the plates, cups and glasses and pull the food out of the pantry. Box that crap up in tupperware and bomb and spray the entire kitchen, under sinks and inside drawers and pantry area. Pull the stove and fridge out and spray the crap out of those areas.

          It may take several days - have them stay in a motel and simply GAS AND SPRAY THE CRAP out of that house...for several days.

          No food, no dirty dishes, tightly seal up everything and buy tons of plastic tupperware and put any partially opened boxed foods into tight containers. No open drinks, clean up sugary spills.....stay on top of the place with DEMON.

          Go through the garage and pull everything out and spray it out with water and soap, let it dry and then spray the snot out of that place too.

          Old rags, papers, magazines - chunk them! Any areas that have moisture collecting - control the water and get things dry.

            In my early 20's I worked for Orkin Pest Control. I have killed a billion roaches. My in-laws house was infested last year. I drove down and spent $200 at Home Depot and bought what I needed and took care of them.

            But granules to spread around the perimeter of the house outside. I make about a 3 foot spread around the entire house. Inside the house after cleaning out all the cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms I sprayed the entire house inside. I then put out roach hotels and roach baits. After a week the roaches were mostly gone so I had them replace the baits and roach motels. Another week passed and no more roaches at all. Every six months we put out granules for them outside and spray inside and haven't seen a roach since.

              What brand/chemicals of granules and spray are you using?

                Willing to bet there are Palm trees in or near your buddy's yard. When I lived down there we had roach problems until the palms went away.

                  Move out. Get rid of it or burn it down. That would be my house of horrors. Can't stand those things. I will kill the biggest snakes or opossums in the back yard with a broom stick. But if I'm sitting at home and I see one of those big flying son of guns zip across the room. I'm running to the bed and ducking under the covers and screaming for my wife to kill it.

                    Over the years I have remodeled my house and have either pulled off the sheet rock or at least the base boards. Every time I have sprinkled or swept Boric Acid between the walls. This stuff will stay there forever.

                    When my son built his house he sprinkled Boric Acid between the walls as it was being built.

                    Also a poster above was correct. Bomb the attic when you treat the living quarters. And turn off the power. If you get a spark in the attic or are running the furnace when you bomb the attic it can cause a flash fire.

                    I like Raid Fumigator when I bomb because it is a smoke and drifts instead of being a wet mist which drops out of the air faster.

                      Bomb them then get the Demon but also get wisdom TC. One is cypermethrin one is bifenthrin. The Demon will leave chalky residue while the wisdom wont. Be sure to alternate between them since they will develop immunity if you use the same one. Both are safe for indoors and outdoors. Read the Labels.

                        Sounds a bit dirty (roach habitat).
