I have been having trouble with roaches in my home. They were brought into the house in a produce box and went undetected until I had an infestation, mainly in the kitchen.
I have a modest ranch home with a finished basement, about 2000 square feet. I purchased two boxes of Rid-a-Bug foggers, 4 cans to a box, and dispursed them throughout the house and placed two of them in the kitchen area, following all directions to the letter.
We then vacated the house which is not an easy task. My wife's mother, 84 years old, is bed ridden. We are her caretakers and she is living her last days with us. She hasn't been out of the house in 14 months.
The long and the short of it is that the foggers did not work. I went into the kitchen that night and turned on the light and there were roaches, new born to adult roaches, everywhere. I grabbed a can of Raid Roach and Ant Killer and started spraying. When I sprayed between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling the roaches came boiling out. I swept them up and took a picture of them. Bombing the house with the Rid-a-Bug foggers was no more effective than using water to get rid of them.
I am not a novice at this. I once worked for a pest control company. I took the state exams and was certified as an exterminator.
I am very disappointed in the Rid-a-Bug Foggers and the company that makes them, especially since we had to go to a lot of trouble to vacate the house. I don't know when we will be able to get my mother-in-law out of the house again. Meanwhile, we still have roaches and even though I am trying other methods to erradicate them I am unable to rid the house of the roaches short of calling in a bug company.
I do not reccommend any Rid-a-Bug product to anyone.
