Terro T530 Roach Bait Powder Plus Applicator

I have a small retail shop that shares a wall with a pizza restaurant. The pizza is fantastic, best in town. But they cause us nothing but grief. They never empty the grease trap, so our store smells of sewage often. They "wash" the floor with a garden hose, so water leaks into our store. And the bug situation along that wall is bad. Very bad.I love Terro products and have used the ant baits in the past, but I tried this new one because it dealt also with roaches and silverfish, which I find in the store as well. I definitely recommend reading the application instructions before just squirting this stuff all over the place.I was very selective where I applied the product and so far, it seems to do the job. I am finding dead bugs instead of live ones. Hopefully soon there wont be either.

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!!

Easy to sprinkle problem areas

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.

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.

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.

We are using several of Terros roach bait treatments right now. And the combos are working great. This one allows for distribution in tricky areas. I do understand that the fact we caught this early before an infestation festered that these products are working well at eradicating the issue.

Great insect repellant powder but a terrible design/production of the Pump Applcator. I used as directed the pump stopped workin after a couple of uses. Had to open it up and dispense by hand. High star rating of "ease of use" was when the pump did work it would be 1 star (or 0) when it woulndn't work.
