Harris Roach Tablets, Boric Acid Roach and Insects Killer with Lure, Alternative to Bait Traps (6oz, 145 Tablets)

Since moving to this rental home in Palm Beach Gardens Florida, I have been freaked out by these huge roaches every time I put on the light in the kitchen. Horrible, ugly, dirty roaches, nearly two inches long. Ugh!!! They would even pop out of the dishwasher and the pots and pans drawer!! I bought this box of roach tablets after doing some research and placed 3 tablets on the floor in different parts of my kitchen and 2 in the drawers. It's now nearly a week later. Beginning the second day, I saw the tables had been nibbled, and now, a few days later, when we go into the kitchen in the morning we see one or two dead roaches and nearly all the tablets except for one have been totally eaten. Best of all , if i go into the kitchen in the middle of the night, I am not terrified I'll run into one. LOVE THIS PRODUCT. GET IT.

Palmetto bugs. If you live somewhere between Richmond and Miami you know all about these vile creatures. Palmetto bugs are what you call them when you find them in your house, when you see them in someone else's house, they're called roaches. In central North Carolina, they're everywhere. 1.5-2 inch long flying cockroaches. You know a bug is big when you can *hear* it's footsteps when it's running.For 17 years in my house I've battled these Smokey Brown roaches. There are good years and bad years for them. We've had a lot of mild winters lately which translates into more bugs. They don't infest houses like German roaches, they mostly live outside, but they're opportunistic, and where there is food and water, they will go. They're somewhat seasonal, and late July through mid October is typically the worst time of year for them. I'd find at least one per night in my garage (we keep our recycling bin in there), sometimes up to a half dozen of them. Several nights per week, I'd find one in my kitchen late at night when I turn the lights on. Occasionally one would come out of my chimney in my family room (usually when company is over, of course) When I lift the cover off my grill on my back porch, a dozen scurry out. Once in a blue moon, I'd even find one in the dead of winter.I've never liked the idea of spreading harsh toxins or nerve agents around my house where I or my kids or my pets or my food could come into contact with it. Professional pest services are hit and miss, and they're not going to care for your house like you do, some might work, some wont, but either way you're out hundreds of bucks. I also didn't want wildlife, birds, reptiles and amphibians that might eat a poisoned bug to be affected. That sort of hamstrung my options. I've put borax/sugar and diatomaceous earth all over the place before. That worked great for ants, but didn't make a huge dent in the roach situation.A few weeks ago a flying insect hit my head at I was sitting at my desk one evening, and as I flailed and yelped like a baby I saw a giant palmetto scurrying away. That was the last straw. I either had to fix this problem, or move back North. General Sherman never surrendered or showed mercy, and I wasn't about to either, so I did some research and came across these tablets that seemed to get a lot of good feedback.I placed about 20 of these tablets around my house at various places where I suspect they get into the house from. A bunch in my garage, under kitchen sink, under the dishwasher, on my back porch, and inside my mostly unused fireplace. After the first night the tablet that was close to my garage door, which I suspect is where most of the palmettos came from, was 75% eaten. I placed a few more tablets in the same spot. It's been around a week since placing the tablets and I have not seen a single adult roach inside my house except for one that was 90% dead. It's hard to describe how miraculous that is. I have not gone an entire week in August without seeing bugs in years. All of the tablets show signs of being nibbled on. Some are almost gone after a week. I've probably seen 6-8 newborn hatchlings in that time, but those were certainly from eggs laid somewhere nearby before the tablets were there. Those should stop too once all the eggs are gone.The tablets smell like wet dog butt, but I rated them 5 stars, because whatever that smell is, the roaches cant get enough of it. You can only smell the smell while in the packaging though. Individual tablets are not strong enough that you can smell them in your house.I was really surprised at how well these worked, given that I've tried all sorts of things in the past. Boric acid is safe for other wildlife, and unlike many other insecticides it's not a nerve agent capable of affecting mammals and humans. The organophosphates used in many insecicides is in the same family of chemicals as VX and Sarin gas used in chemical weapons. These tablets have none of that. Boric acid is a primary component of laundry soap. While it's probably not a good idea to eat large quantities of it, exposure to it is completely safe, it's mostly toxic to insects.The price of these things for what they do is amazing, I've spent 10-20 times as much on other products over the years that never worked well.I've spent a decade never letting my food touch my countertop in the summer, because I never knew if there was a palmetto-party on it the night before, now I feel like one day soon, I'll be able to treat it like a normal countertop.

Man, freaking works. We moved into a place that left a box and finally ran out. Works better than anything, spray, Service, it’s cheap and easy nobody has to come in you house. You don’t see more as they die . We replace like 2 x a year so every 4-6 months. We got roped into some service and I swear they were bringing them, I guess our tabs got old like a year and they started coming back when we canceled the service. Tossed these babies out . Night night . “No mo Joes apt in here! “Takes about 1 week to see any change, by 2 weeks there’s way way less, 3 weeks rare roach. Toss them in the back of the cabinets and I set them in the trim behind furniture. We have a 1200 sq ft 2b/3 br. Like 6-8 tabs in the kitchen dining room, 2-3 in the other rooms. I think a box lasted like over a year. Worked better than any spray or exterminator and it’s pocket change.
