“So what do you do? Grab a bomb over the counter from your local store? Sure, it will kill visible adults, but each egg sac can contain around 48 roach eggs and are completely unaffected by the bomb. How about the hidden roaches? And what about the infestation, localized say in the kitchen and is now spreading throughout the house and wall voids. These OTC instant kill bombs and sprays often make the issue worse and prolonged.
A professional consultation and treatment is your best chance for completely eliminating the infestation. After a professional treatment, continue cooperation by not spraying on your own. Once the treatment has succeeded, take extra care to not reintroduce a roach population.”
