The roaches are in the walls. I have tried a lot of products. I need one that is going to kill these pest forever out my apartment.

1. Ok...first you have to figure out how and where they get in your house/apt. Fix that first... Then clean everything you can thoroughly with bleach. Try the roach-motels first so you have evidence if they're still there. Is so, use the motels and any sprays or gells. Again, it's super important to find where they're coming from. 9 times in 10 if you fix that, they'll be gone for a while.
2. In the stores that sell sprays, you can see gels with syringes that make it easy to put the gel in cracks and other places. Hotshot, ampro and combat are some of them These are timed so that a roach can eat some of this and get it on it and have time to get to the nest or where they hang, some will hang behind the sink, to the others. 40 dead roaches via one dead roach. Beside the gels is boric acid powder in a container with a point that makes it easy to put out. This is very good. This works the same way as the gels. Some of it is called roach poof. These are sold in grocery stores too. Hardware stores have a lot of roach killers along with places like Lowes.
3. Well the roaches are through out the apartment building. Complain to the management. and have them have it professionally sprayed.
4. use the baits that are in a large syringe, Combat works well...easy to apply where the roaches live and hang out...after you feel control is under way use the residual sprays where they may enter the apartment such as where the pipes enter through the wall under the sinks. Avoid using the spray around the bait as to not to contaminate the bait.
5. Hey Tonnie, I work with Combat and I definitely recommend using the Source Kill Max gel. Our baits and gels are made of mostly food ingredients combined with a small amount of insecticide specially formulated to target roaches. A roach will eat the bait and then return to the nest to share it with the others which allows the formula to contaminate and kill the entire roach nest. Check out our website for more information!
