Question 1

Does anyone know if it can be used pet-safe? (I have a quite food-driven cat.)

Accepted Answer

The first question is whether your cat can ingest the "poison".  The bait stations are little plastic containers.   They have small openings that the roaches go through to get to the bait.  I doubt a cat could get its tongue through such a small opening.   But they could possibly chew through the plastic container.   The second question is if the car did eat the bait, would it harm them?The active ingredient is Fipronil.  This is The primary ingredient in many flea treatment products for pets.  So dogs and cats apparently tolerate Fipronil well.   Fipronil is the active ingredient of this product and is only 1/200 of the bait so the amount contained is very small.given that it is difficult to get at, the amount is very small and Fipronil is already used on cats. .. this world seem to be pet safe.But ultimately you need to make that decision.   I would ask your vet about whether your cat could be harmed if they ingested Fipronil from a roach bait trap.i hope this info is helpful.   I used peteducation.com and parasitepedia.net as resources - good luck!

Question 2

What do we mean by "small" roaches? As is 1 in, 1/2 in or even smaller than that? The few I am seeing are no more than 1 inch in length. Will it work?

Accepted Answer

Of course haven't u seen some nice size ones crawl into the smallest crack to avoid u?they will will fit their butts into those small bait holes.Now if u mean the big watrrbug sized ones that look big from across a lg.room,u may need the larger ones.but I never had an infestation of roaches that size.research leads me to believe the real big ones wants to be outside.good luck.worked for me

Question 3

If I have a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom kind of large home... will this be enough? or should I buy 2 packs?

Accepted Answer

I also live in a 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment and I've been using the single pack of 16 pieces for the past several years with success.I strategically place the units on all walls that are adjacent to other units.

Question 4

If I have an unused, unopened box for a year, would it still be effective?
