Roach Motel That Works

They check in, but they don’t check out.  In spite of using a professional service, roaches still seem to get in various properties I take care of.  Over the years I have tried several effective sprays on thresholds (Bengal and others) but one that consistently works for me is the Roach Motel TAT  (by Black Flag) – “They check in, but they don’t check out”.  These little boxes are safe, are not bad looking (wood grain disposable cardboard) and you get to see how effective they are by looking in.  Somewhat hard to buy in retail stores, I usually get mine on-line or at an ACE hardware.

$20 gets you 12 motels, less than $2 each, and $20 is only 2/3^rd. of the cost of the monthly professional treatments.  And 12 boxes will last (forme)  6 months or a year.

Or, 6 for $10 on Ebay, about the same price as Amazon.

Buy the way – Ebay’s new checkout with PayPal is amazing, reducing the steps considerably.  Just basically two clicks “I want it”,  “Yes, use Pay Pay to Pay”.  Then a confirmation pops up “Your order was placed”. Whew, free shipping, 2 clicks to pay, no wonder retail store sales were off 8% over the holidays as compared to last year, while internet sales are soaring.
