Review: Best Roach killer of all times - I know it says fire ants but this is the Best kind of Orthene killer for Roaches!!! I live in an apartment and I have OCD! I don’t do any kind of bugs. Every time someone moves out of an apartment close to me and the guys start cleaning and spraying for bugs I see a roach or 2. The big big ones! I started using this 3 years ago every 4-6 months (how frequently ppl move) and now I don’t allow pest control in. It does better than their spray! Gonna need to open windows to air out the place. Use a glove and spoon to spread. 1 bottle lasted 2 years

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this work to get rid of crawdads**
A: YES, it will.  I'm sure you're referring to the pesky lawn/yard crawfish that live underground and create mounds after every hard rain.  It's a real pain in the butt to have to remove the mounds before cutting the grass.  Either dump a little down each hole and add some water or mix it in a bucket with some water and pour a little down each hole.  It's time consuming, but eventually they will be gone.  I'm not sure if it kills them or just chases them off.  I tried it after reading online that one of the ingredients works on crawfish.

**Q: Why will this state that it will not ship to my address in Texas, however, no problem with the shipping of the same product that is in the 4 lb size?**
A: Everything in Texas is bigger? So you need the Taxas size

**Q: Does this kills roaches?**
A: Heck yeah it kills roaches! Within one hor of application, I started seeing them come out of hiding and die. You want to appy a light puff of the powder along the baseboards and wherever else you think they may hide. Don't put too much though, its not necessary. Vaccum it up the next day if you want and apply again for atleast a week straight. Yes,, product smells like boiled cabbage, but who cares, its worth it. I applied this for a single week, and didn't see another roach for 3 years!! And when I did, I applied the powder again for a day and quickly took care of the problem.

**Q: What happens if you disturb the mound?**
A: I have used this product for a long time.  I find it works fastest if I DO disturb the mound slightly.  I put a small amount of the ant killer on the mound. then I poke the mound a few times with a stick about 2 feet long.  Then I stand back!  The ants go crazy and carry the poison into the mound.  Just be sure to STAND BACK!!!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Secret Roach Fix
*by M***R on September 14, 2025*

No idea how this works as an ant killer, but let me tell you over the last 3 years, only two bottles of this have completely fixed all my roach problems in my apartment. I just sprinkle a little where I see roaches, and it keeps them away for months. It’s so easy to clean up afterward just sweep and mop the powder, and you’re done. In terms of value for money, it’s outstanding. A single container lasts a very long time (lasted me more than a year) since you only need small amounts at a time. The powder itself has a plain, functional appearance nothing fancy, but it does the job. The container comes with a secure seal that keeps the product fresh and easy to store without spills. As for toxicity, I handle it carefully (gloves and washing hands after use), and so far I’ve had no issues indoors as long as I use it sparingly and responsibly. I recommend this to everyone, it’s absolute gold for unexpected pest problems.
