Cockroaches 
Cockroaches thrive in warm environ-ments 
that provide food, water, and shel-ter. 
Roaches hide in cracks, crawl spaces, and other 
dark places during the day and come out at night to 
feed. Pesticide sprays alone will not control roaches 
and are not usually required. Baits provide better con-trol. 
You must integrate several strategies to make your 
home a less roach-friendly environment. Thoroughness 
is essential for effective control. 
Identify your cockroach species first: 
✦ Effective management options vary according to species. 
✦ Cockroach traps provide an easy way to catch roaches 
for identification. 
✦ Control practices for outdoor invaders (American, 
oriental roaches) and indoor residents (brown-banded 
and German roaches) differ. 
✦ For help with identification go to www.ipm.ucdavis.edu 
Remove food and water sources: 
✦ Even tiny crumbs or liquids in cracks provide good food 
sources. 
✦ Store food in sealed containers. 
✦ Keep trash in containers with tight lids. 
✦ Eliminate plumbing leaks. 
✦ Vacuum cracks and crevices and clean floors and 
counters daily. 
Remove roach hiding places: 
✦ Seal cracks and other openings to prevent invaders from 
the outside. 
✦ Seal cracks in false bottoms of cupboards and other 
indoor hiding places. 
✦ Seal or clean up other areas where you find roaches or 
their egg cases hiding. 
✦ Remove old newspapers, boxes and other clutter in 
kitchens and bathrooms. 
✦ The oriental cockroach hides outdoors 
under ivy and other shelter. Check to 
see if you have this roach and remove 
outdoor hiding places or bait. 
Use traps to identify and track 
cockroach populations: 
✦ Cockroach traps are available in hardware stores. 
✦ Place traps on the floor around edges of walls, in 
cupboards and other places where you think roaches are 
foraging. Place bait stations at locations where you trap 
roaches. 
✦ Check traps daily. 
✦ Sticky traps with pheromones may provide some control

Be sure to read product labels carefully and 
follow all instructions on proper use, storage, and 
disposal of pesticides. 
For more information about managing pests, contact your Uni-versity 
of California Cooperative Extension office listed 
under the county government pages of your phone book or the 
UCIPM Web Site at www.ipm.ucdavis.edu.

Using chemicals to control cockroaches: 
✦ Avoid use of foggers, bombs or aerosol sprays — they 
just disperse populations. 
✦ Boric acid powder blown into cracks, crevices, hollow 
walls, under refrigerators, or other undisturbed hiding 
places is very effective (allow 7 days or more for an 
effect to be seen). 
✦ Bait stations containing boric acid, abamectin, fipronil, or 
hydramethylnon placed near hiding places can be 
effective if other food sources are removed (allow 7 days 
or more for an effect to be seen). Replace stations as 
needed as long as roaches are being caught. 
✦ Insecticide sprays alone do not give long term control 
alone. They are not necessary if other methods such as 
baits and boric acid powder are combined along with 
cleanup and removal of hiding places. 
✦ Contact a professional pest control operator for very 
serious infestations, but be sure they use an integrated 
program as described above.
