Aloha,

HD has some aerosol foggers that we have to use from time to time. The key is to use one in pretty much every room, and, depending on the pest, at least two treatments, possibly three. Roaches for example hatch new eggs about every 10 days, so you need to hit them usually three times to get them all. Of course, this is primarily for block walls and single wall construction. For double walled construction, especially plaster and lath walls, with millions of critters in the walls, have the pros handle it. Also, although these are "household" products, you do not want to spend time in the fog! Plan your placement, move quickly, be sure windows are closed, but cabinets and closets all open, set them off starting at the back of the unit, and quickly work your way out. Follow the printed instructions on the packaging.
