Roach Control: Mulch Management and Bait Stations

Short-Term: Treat Mulch Areas

Sprinkle outdoor insecticide granules on mulched beds near the foundation. For better penetration, rake out and replace old mulch first to eliminate moist harborage underneath.

Long-Term: Perimeter Bait Stations

Place at least a dozen roach bait stations in sheltered spots around the home's exterior. Products containing fipronil provide extended protection. This dual approach—reducing habitat and deploying bait—gives the best results.
