  • Cleanup to remove food and water sources for roaches. This step is important to your baiting success and is considered the most effective natural roach control solution.

  • Third step is to trap and monitor with roach glue traps.
  • Most roach elimination protocols will require about 2 weeks, but can take up to 6 months to get complete control.
  • No matter what type of cockroach you are trying to eliminate, American roaches, German cockroaches, smoky brown roaches, wood roaches, brown banded roaches, palmetto bugs or any other type of roach that invades your home, Harris has a solution.
Step 1

Cleanup

Cockroaches enter homes in search of food, water, and shelter, so making these things less accessible is the ultimate goal.
This is done through sanitation and exclusion efforts. Here are some tips and tricks to help prevent cockroaches.

Step 2

Build Your Roach Kit

  • For Small Apartments or Homes under 1,300 square feet we recommend purchasing 1 box of Harris Famous Roach Tablets.
  • Larger Homes
  • We recommend purchasing 2 boxes of Harris Famous Roach Tablets.

How to Use Harris Famous Roach Tablet Bait

  • Place our Harris Famous Roach Tablets in all of the common cockroach hiding places around your home or business including: under or behind the refrigerator, under the stove and dishwasher, under sinks, in the corners of closets and cabinets, in cracks and crevices along baseboards, and near pipes and electrical conduit. It is also a great idea to remove all the drawers in kitchens and bathrooms and place the tablets inside the drawer wells before replacing the drawers.
  • When you are placing your tablets, be sure to keep them away from pets and children by placing them in out-of-the-way, concealed locations where they won’t be bothered. If you can still see a tablet after placing it, press or push it further into the hiding place or move it somewhere else. You can place up to 12 tablets per room.
  • Harris Famous Roach Tablets will remain active for up to 2 years if they are dry and not contaminated by insecticides or other substances. While they are proven to last that long, we generally recommend putting fresh tablets out every 12 months or so to ensure that you are getting the most effective roach control possible. As a reminder, always read and follow all label directions when using roach tablets.
Step 3

Applying Boric Acid Dust

Harris Boric Acid Roach Powder with Lure

Boric Acid Formula with lure kills Roaches, Palmetto Bugs, Waterbugs and Silverfish. Puffer bottle with included straw reaches into cracks and crevices where insects hide. The powder is great for reaching roaches in hard to reach areas

How to Apply Harris Boric Acid to Eliminate Roaches

  • Roaches will succumb to boric acid after crawling over the treated surfaces.
  • The tiny particles of boric acid will work to kill roaches by either adhering to the roaches body and or ingestion.

Apply a very light dust or small puffs into these areas where roaches tend to harbor.

  • Crevices along the edges and corners of cabinets
  • Apply to the wall/floor junction behind appliances
  • Puff into the plumbing openings, from sinks and wall openings.
  • Voids under kitchen and bathroom cabinets

Where Not to Apply:

  • Do not apply to countertops or exposed surfaces.
  • Do not apply to electronic equipment.
  • Clean up with a damp cloth any exposed traces of powder.
Step 4

Monitoring with Glue Traps

Roach Traps

Roach traps are made of a glue surface. Roach traps can be used in areas that are
hard to reach to apply a spray or gel. Places such as under the stove, refrigerator, and
even inside cabinets.

Small Apartments recommend 2 traps

Larger Homes purchase 6 to 8 traps

  • Easy to use
  • Discreet: can slide under furniture, and appliances
  • Pesticide Free: perfect to use inside cabinets and areas where applying dust or insecticide is not recommended.
  • Traps are thrown away when full or glue is no longer effective.
