Got any deathsticks?
I have a roach problem. I've gotten myself some glue traps, Ant-B-Gon ant and roach killer gel and Terro Ant Killer dust.

What I've done is get some bottle caps and filled them with the gel and some bread crumbs while lining the floorboards of my kitchen with the ant killer dust. I also planted a larger bait trap using the tin foil cover off a peanut butter jar and layered more gel poison on top of it.

I haven't really been seeing results so I'm wondering if I need to change my bait options. They just don't seem to be going for the gel at all and each night I'm still catching them scurrying around my sink.

Where are the roaches coming from and what are they being attracted to in your living space? These two things are where you start with this kind of pest control.

I checked my sink and there's no leaky pipes but I did discover that the wall behind the counter cupboards has a crack in it, so caulking is in the list for my next shopping trip. They tend to like my toaster and my sink so it's likely bread crumbs and residuals off of my washed plates drawing them in.
