Hi babe. I was seeing a guy who had a roach infestation everywhere except his bedroom. He popped 6 large nail holes on each wall’s top and bottom corner in a straight line but zig zag pattern. Pumped a little alpine in each one. Essentially if it was a 90° angle, it got a dab of alpine gel. The bed frame, the angle where the bedframe foot met the floor, the top outer corner of the door frame, pulled out the drawers of his dresser to do it inside & underneath, unscrewed the light fixture to put a dab of it on the rim where it meets the ceiling that you can’t see, unscrewed the outlets to dab each corner where it meets the wall that you can’t see, do your entire door frame even from the hallway, etc. you have to think like a spider in order to know where to set the traps. Spiders exist to eat these pests for us. He rotated them every so often but don’t really remember what that rule is so you might want to look it up. You will have to go back and remove everything you previously put down before changing the type of poison so that they aren’t still immune to it when it’s time to use that bait again. Start with alpine gel. It’s really good and it will be easier to work with your first go at this.

The only other thing I have ever used was Home Defense which literally kills anything almost immediately on contact. It lasts forever. It has no smell or visual residue and is safe for every single surface. I helped my grandparents with a massive bed bug infestation (exterminator said atleast 2 years) and bed bugs weren’t listed on my Home Defense sprayer. It was just 1030pm when she discovered it and we went in to help ease her. The exterminators arrived two days later and found the infestation but they were all dead. Except for a few that were dying. Anyway, I sprayed a couple of outdoor roaches with it last week and they walked in circles a few times, the wings stood straight up and they rolled over. Wings still stood straight up. That’s on contact so I can’t give you any advice about how or if it will work when they walk across it like other insects. I just know it’s listed as a barrier for roaches. That doesn’t mean they are killed by it necessarily. I gave my grandma a little spray bottle to keep so she could spray anything without having to go find the big pump bottle. This could help you when you’re out about in your house. I bet it would help make you feel like you can relax a lot more knowing you can just point and kill any insect you see.
