TERRO Roach Bait Powder with Precision Applicator, 0.53 oz Tube

Here’s the best roach killer ever! It killed a major infestation in less than a week. I tried multiple methods prior to this but this really works! As others have mentioned the pump doesn’t work well. I just sprinkled and then smoothed out a thin layer all around the sinks.

If you see one, there's more hiding. I spray the power where one may be and no more show up till the next neighbor moves in and out.

I had a slow leak in my garage next to my kitchen and suddenly roaches started appearing daily. Every night there would be 4/5 in my kitchen, in cabinets and stuff. I sprayed daily with the home defense stuff and that did nothing. Then I used the little plastic traps and they also did nothing. Then I got that brown gel stuff and put it everywhere and that did absolutely nothing. This stuff was a last ditch attempt before I called professionals and it’s amazing!!! Day one, still saw 3 roaches. Day 2, saw 1 and day 3 saw 1. Day 4 tho, I didn’t see any!! Day 5, saw 1 but day 6&7, saw nothing!! It says that it takes a couple of days to take full effect and that it correct but it does work!!! The way it is dispensed is a little odd and u have to really get it at the right angle to squirt out the powder. But it’s worth it! Best roach product out there!!

It’s is a helpful and easy to use product..it had quite a good effect..I could see a lot of dead roches

The plastic bottle and spray nozzle not as efficient to operate. I had to remove the nozzle and spread the powder where I needed. This not as economical to use, I probably spread too much powder with cap/nozzle removed. It did the job but not economical enough too much money for the use.

We had the absolute worst nightmare when we realized a friend’s moving boxes in our garage had unwanted visitors! Never in our 12 years in our house did we have a roach problem. I went to Wirecutter for researched reviews and chose this instead of the paste. I did get baits from Terra too and roach traps. The key to this is patience and elbow grease! Our problem seemed to be contained in our kitchen and living room areas. We scrubbed under all furniture first, vacuumed under couches. Then started applying the dust to every nook and cranny. Yes the pump gets blocked time to time , but nothing a little shake didn’t fix for me. It’s been a week and I see a difference. I plan to clean under furniture every two weeks and reapply the dust for the next 3 months until I know the problem is gone.

I purchased Terro T530 Roach Bait Powder Plus Applicator, After a few usages the applicator seems to get jammed and does not deliver the powder each time you pump. I called Terro and they sent me a replacement bottle. After 10 or 20 applications the same thing happened to the replacement bottle. Terro says you get 150 applications from each bottle, but the applicator becomes useless after only 10-20. In the end, I opened the bottle and shook out the contents to places that needed the bait. I got no where near the coverage as would have gotten if the bottle did not get gunked up. Terro you need to improve the applicator so it works consistently. I am sure this was result of humidity. I live in a regular home with no special humidity problems.

The TERRO T530 Roach Bait Powder did help reduce the number of roaches and ants around my kitchen and garage, and the powder itself seems effective once applied. I noticed fewer bugs within a few days, especially in cracks and corners where insects usually hide. However, the biggest issue was the precision applicator. It kept getting clogged and stuck while trying to apply the powder, which made the process frustrating and messy. I had to constantly shake and tap the bottle just to get a small amount out. The product works, but the applicator design definitely needs improvement. Overall, the bait powder is effective for killing roaches and ants, but be prepared for some hassle when using the applicator. If TERRO improved the dispenser, this would easily be a much better product.
