Dead and Gone!
Finally, something that works! I've tried so many different roach killers, and most never do a thing. This one does the trick. I sprinkled this in the places where roaches like to be, and starting the next day, I was finding dead or dying roaches around. When they walk through it, their bodies start to dry out. I didn't have a severe problem. I just didn't want it to get worse. My only problem I is with the container. It would have been easier to use if it had a nozzle so you could squirt it out. It would be easier to get behind appliances, etc. You also have to keep it away from pets, but I have two cats and had no issues with it.

Best Ant Killer
Best product to kill ants in shortest amount of time. And they take it back to their mound killing others and destroying entire mound. Used this product for years. One container kills alot of ants as it only takes a little bit of the powder sprinkled on mounds.
Verified Purchase
Fire ants go insane when I add the power over their ant hill. Next day fire ants are nowhere to be seen. Yes I use the bottle often because they move, relocate and start making a new hill. The minute I see a small hill forming I sprinkle the powder. The powder smells awful but it works.
