Combat Max 12 Month Roach Killing Bait, Small Roach Bait Station, Child-Resistant, 18 Count

These little bait stations are like mousers for roaches: discreet, deadly, and shockingly efficient. I set out a couple in the usual hotspots and stopped hearing the little scuttle concerts within a day. Not glamorous, but it gets the job done — quietly and without a spray cloud of doom. Pros: Works quickly — noticeable drop in activity within 24–48 hours. Easy to place and kid/pet-safe when used as directed. Long-lasting — no constant reapplication needed. Cons: Not Instant Karma — takes a day or two to see full results. Needs placement in the right spots; won’t work if roaches avoid the station entirely. Bottom line: Practical, low-fuss roach control that actually reduces sightings fast. Five stars.

I never write reviews, but this product really deserves one. When we moved into this apartment, I noticed some small roaches around, so I tried Maxforce gel, which had worked for me in the past. However, this time the insects were really stubborn and were everywhere in the apartment. I battled them for over a year, and my husband didn’t help much — he would leave food on the floor and on the countertop, and wouldn’t wash the dishes. I was so stressed that I once found an empty egg case in the dishwasher (which my husband never used), and I got really mad at him. Since I travel a lot on weekends, I barely had a chance to keep up with the cleaning, so the roaches were basically having a big party here. I was very concerned about my baby, so I used to take him with me when traveling. By June, I was so fed up that after being away for two weeks, I came back to a situation that was barely tolerable. The roaches were everywhere — not just at night, but during the day too! I used a Raid fogger and searched for different ways to fight the infestation. Honestly, I had read so many good reviews about this product that I figured I had nothing to lose. The price is incredibly cheap compared to professional pest control (which I don’t trust at all — especially after living with an aunt who had rats. I ended up taking control myself because their solutions were useless). Anyway, I left again and came back with the baby. After the third day, I started to worry because I found roaches in places they normally don’t show up. I was concerned that this product wasn’t working, but there was a noticeable difference — the roaches were slower than usual. Then I traveled again, and when I returned after two weeks, I saw that the mature roaches were gone, except for a few little ones that I assume had just hatched (and I expect them to be gone soon!) It’s been a month now, and I’d say that in the past week I’ve only seen two small ones — and nothing else. (Before, I used to see them constantly during the day.) I’d say this is a great solution. No need to smear paste on the walls or in the corners (which looks anything but discreet). I finally have peace of mind and can bring my baby home without feeling overwhelmed about hygiene.

used this for a german roach infestation in my car, my car was completely roach free within less than a week. doesn’t have a smell (from what i can tell), didn’t have any residue, stickiness or leakage. they are small and could definitely be placed discreetly as they just look like a little black disc. good for small spaces as well. very easy to use, while i hope i never have need for them again, i would purchase again and would recommend.

I have since seen a significant decline.

I was seeing the little guys at night in my bathroom and I saw one under my kitchen sink. So I placed them everywhere I could think in February 2026 and it’s now April and I really haven’t seen one in weeks, it seems to have worked, I just had an exterminator come to inspect today and we found a dead one under the sink and he really didn’t see anymore. I thought I was seeing big ones still for weeks but it turns out I have crickets! I had no idea what a crickets looked liked an thought the traps were not working. But I only saw what i believe to be one full grown roach 🪳 and I eliminated asap. I really do think these traps work great but of course just to be safe I’ll be investing in an exterminator as well just in case so it does not become an issue going forward!

Meh not that efficiently killing anything

I bought this after dealing with a serious roach infestation that just wouldn’t go away, no matter what we tried. After reading the reviews, I decided to give it a shot and I’m glad I did. Within just 2 to 3 days, the roaches were gone. I purchased it back in November last year, and since then, the bugs haven’t come back at all. It’s easy to use and has no scent, which is a huge plus.

The product is great. I put it all over the kitchen, and—magically—there were no more cockroaches.

Before using this, we used to see like 3 to 5 roaches every day. I started using this nearly 6 months ago. I honestly noticed that I almost see no roaches after 2 months if use. I put some pieces outside around the house and some inside and replace the baits every 2 months. Now I am just applying once in every 4 months. This is 100 percent effective.

I’ve tried sprays before, but they only kill the ones you see. I placed these Combat Small Roach Baits around my kitchen cabinets and behind the fridge. The Results: Effective: Within 3-4 days, I started seeing dead roaches on the floor, which means the bait is working back at the nest. Long-Lasting: I love that these are rated for 12 months. It’s "set it and forget it" protection. Safe Design: The bait is enclosed, so I don't have to worry about messy sprays or my pets getting into it. Verdict: If you have small roaches in your kitchen or bathroom, don't waste time with sprays. These baits are clean, easy to hide, and they actually solve the problem. Great value for a year of peace!

Used it. Worked a treat - but read on..... Done time ago I Started finding roaches around the kitchen. I cleaned extra carefully and tried the lemon and vinegar suggested to keep them away....no joy. Got pest control in. They sprayed and it seemed to work. A week later I found a couple of roaches had moved from kitchen area and were roaming elsewhere. Called in pest control for second treatment. Sprayed more places. Worked for 5/6 weeks but then they were back. Used this product and started finding dead roaches. Called pest control to complain -"they're sometimes in the walls where we can't get at them." I kept finding dead roaches but never live ones. Then they stopped showing up dead or alive. I stupidly threw the bait traps away after a month and a half of no roaches. A month later I find one and kill it. Couple of days later another and that too. Nothing for a bit. But today did a big messy cook up and that attracted 3 that I killed by squashing them. After cooking and a thorough paranoid clean with bleach too I ate and went for a shower. Returned to do the dishes and found another 3 by the dirty dishes in the sink. I'm reordering. And keeping the traps out for the full 12 months.

Had an infestation in the kitchen. Whenever I walked into the kitchen at night and turned the light on, there at least half a dozen cockroaches would scatter, both tiny ones about 3mm and bigger 2 cm ones. Tried different gels with no impact whatsoever, other than eventually getting moldy and creating a mess. This product is much more expensive but it works. After 2 days roaches were gone. It's been 2 months now and the kitchen is still roach free, with an occasional straggler coming from neighboring appartments and quickly disappearing.

Very Nice
