Battling cockroaches can make you feel like you’re on the losing end of a full-scale invasion. After all, these insects didn’t survive for hundreds of millions of years because they’re easy to get rid of. But armed with a little know-how and the right products, you can at least keep them out of your kitchen. We spoke with two roach experts, each with more than 40 years of experience. After combining their input with our own firsthand testing, we recommend that you start with some no-cost remedies, and then step up to Terro T500 Multi-Surface Roach Baits as needed.

Terro T500 Multi-Surface Roach Baits, best roach killer

Terro T500 Multi-Surface Roach Baits

Best roach killer
Terro’s traps are easier to monitor than those of competitors. And they stay put on vertical surfaces, so you can place them close to where roaches live.
We recommend
Advion 68663 Cockroach Bait Arena, similar, but harder to find

Advion 68663 Cockroach Bait Arena

Similar, but harder to find
The Advion stations are very similar to those of our top pick. But the Advions are a little harder to monitor and typically aren’t sold in brick-and-mortar stores.
Another good choice
Combat Max Roach Killing Gel, a more-targeted gel

Combat Max Roach Killing Gel

A more-targeted gel
Combat gel can be placed right where roaches are living. The downsides: It’s messier, and it’s not as safe for use around kids and pets.
Another good choice
Terro T530 Roach Bait Powder, a powder for larger infestations

Terro T530 Roach Bait Powder

A powder for larger infestations
Not as neat as a bait station but less goopy than a gel, this powder works well in floor crevices. And with 150 applications per bottle, it’s affordable for tackling a big infestation.
