I swore that I would never buy them because of their intelligence-assaulting advertising (competitor's products show well less than "0% roach kill" on a graph), but Combat bait trays are great. They consist of capsules containing baited poison, into which roaches may roam. Pets, humans, etc. remain safe from the contents. There is no residue, vapor, odor, or any of the nastiness associated with most roach remedies. And they work, after about three weeks. Use two boxes if you have more than a kitchen to cover. It's best also to be sure your apartment is free of crumbs, grease, etc. (and standing water, if possible), so that the nasty creatures will eat the bait. --Hank Lewis ..!ihnp4!cmcl2!acf2!lewish
