my personal tips for roach control:

6) if you see a live one, the fastest and cleanest killing method is actually diluted dishwashing liquid

Can this kill as fast as those cockroach spray sold on supermarket shelves?

I noticed they do die rather quickly when i squeeze some concentrated dishwashing liq on their body, but nvr tried diluted solution b4.....

Another way to kill cockroach passively;

ISAAN:-- Jenjira Ponyong, a Prathom 6 student from Pracha-anukro Primary School, Kalasin province has invented a unique solution for killing cockroaches.

The student created the solution by experimenting with 3 basic ingredients: cement powder, rice flour and Ovaltine powder.

Once the solution is mixed it is put in a place where the cockroaches usually roam together alongside a tray of water.

Janjira summarized the thought process behind creating the solution:

1. Ovaltine powder attracts the cockroaches.

2. The rice flour causes the cockroaches to be thirsty.

3. Once the cement powder mixed with water it will become hardened and caused death to cockroaches.

Comparing to general pesticide, her solution does not use any chemical which will contaminate the environment or affect people.

Not to pour cold water on this, cement actually are a cancer causing agent, at least for cement that made in Malaysia sweat.gif
Rather than we attract pest, prevent them would be better.

I use borax and icing sugar. Mixture of 1:1 ratio.

You see many dead bodies after few days to a week.

faster than cockroach spray as long as not overly diluted. Most important is you must spray enough to cover and wet their entire body (basically soak them), the idea being that you want to clog their breathing holes and suffocate them.

ps. I've not tried before but maybe you can use a super soaker gun and fill it with dishwashing liquid smile.gif

any pest control can recommend? need to get rid of tiny cockcroaches, silverfish, spider, ants, and potentially termite, etc...

how pest control is done? just get rid at the moment they come? or something is applied to prevent those insects coming back again?

how frequent pest control actually needed? once per year?

My suggestion is to request pest expert. They're better to work with the true insect exterminator and know the traps of applying it in the correct territories to expand its impact.
