Q: Why have baits become the product of choice for managing cockroaches both indoors and outdoors?
A:
By: Dr. Janis Reed, BCE, Technical Services Manager with CSI
Baits are popular because of their simplicity and overall effectiveness. In general, they have been so successful because of three things:
1. Less preparation is needed - customers no longer must empty their cabinets for a “traditional” chemical treatment.
2. Baits can be simply placed in cracks & crevices where cockroaches live.
3. Bait materials are highly attractive and effective against cockroaches.
