If you live somewhere between Richmond and Miami you know all about these vile creatures. Palmetto bugs are what you call them when you find them in your house, when you see them in someone else's house, they're called roaches. In central North Carolina, they're everywhere. 1.5-2 inch long flying cockroaches. You know a bug is big when you can *hear* it's footsteps when it's running.For 17 years in my house I've battled these Smokey Brown roaches. There are good years and bad years for them. We've had a lot of mild winters lately which translates into more bugs. They don't infest houses like German roaches, they mostly live outside, but they're opportunistic, and where there is food and water, they will go. They're somewhat seasonal, and late July through mid October is typically the worst time of year for them. I'd find at least one per night in my garage (we keep our recycling bin in there), sometimes up to a half dozen of them. Several nights per week, I'd find one in my kitchen late at night when I turn the lights on. Occasionally one would come out of my chimney in my family room (usually when company is over, of course) When I lift the cover off my grill on my back porch, a dozen scurry out. Once in a blue moon, I'd even find one in the dead of winter.I've never liked the idea of spreading harsh toxins or nerve agents around my house where I or my kids or my pets or my food could come into contact with it. Professional pest services are hit and miss, and they're not going to care for your house like you do, some might work, some wont, but either way you're out hundreds of bucks. I also didn't want wildlife, birds, reptiles and amphibians that might eat a poisoned bug to be affected. That sort of hamstrung my options. I've put borax/sugar and diatomaceous earth all over the place before. That worked great for ants, but didn't make a huge dent in the roach situation.A few weeks ago a flying insect hit my head at I was sitting at my desk one evening, and as I flailed and yelped like a baby I saw a giant palmetto scurrying away. That was the last straw. I either had to fix this problem, or move back North. General Sherman never surrendered or showed mercy, and I wasn't about to either, so I did some research and came across these tablets that seemed to get a lot of good feedback.I placed about 20 of these tablets around my house at various places where I suspect they get into the house from. A bunch in my garage, under kitchen sink, under the dishwasher, on my back porch, and inside my mostly unused fireplace. After the first night the tablet that was close to my garage door, which I suspect is where most of the palmettos came from, was 75% eaten. I placed a few more tablets in the same spot. It's been around a week since placing the tablets and I have not seen a single adult roach inside my house except for one that was 90% dead. It's hard to describe how miraculous that is. I have not gone an entire week in August without seeing bugs in years. All of the tablets show signs of being nibbled on. Some are almost gone after a week. I've probably seen 6-8 newborn hatchlings in that time, but those were certainly from eggs laid somewhere nearby before the tablets were there. Those should stop too once all the eggs are gone.The tablets smell like wet dog butt, but I rated them 5 stars, because whatever that smell is, the roaches cant get enough of it. You can only smell the smell while in the packaging though. Individual tablets are not strong enough that you can smell them in your house.I was really surprised at how well these worked, given that I've tried all sorts of things in the past. Boric acid is safe for other wildlife, and unlike many other insecticides it's not a nerve agent capable of affecting mammals and humans. The organophosphates used in many insecicides is in the same family of chemicals as VX and Sarin gas used in chemical weapons. These tablets have none of that. Boric acid is a primary component of laundry soap. While it's probably not a good idea to eat large quantities of it, exposure to it is completely safe, it's mostly toxic to insects.The price of these things for what they do is amazing, I've spent 10-20 times as much on other products over the years that never worked well.I've spent a decade never letting my food touch my countertop in the summer, because I never knew if there was a palmetto-party on it the night before, now I feel like one day soon, I'll be able to treat it like a normal countertop.
5.0 out of 5 stars This stuff works!!!
I live in an old building with several units. When I started seeing roaches and my slumlor... uh, landlord told me it was "tenant's responsibility" I started researching the most effective way to absolutely demolish a roach population. Boric acid kept coming up, but this product in particular was mentioned a lot on various forums, comment, etc. and was said to be very effective. A few other ideas/products also came up a lot, so it came down to a 3 part plan that seems to have worked amazingly well (I haven't seen a single roach, alive or dead, in a few months). Here's what I did:-Ordered 3 products (about $50 total) Harris's Roach Tablets, Gentrol point source dispersers (insect growth regulator), and food grade diatomaceous earth.-Placed Gentrol dispersers through my apartment and the halls of the building. This growth regulator stops baby roaches from developing to adulthood and breaks the life cycle, as they are unable to reproduce.-Placed Harris's Roach tablets in various places throughout the building (crushing them makes the work better). I crushed them into small cracks along the stairs and halls, as well as into any cracks or holes that lead into the walls from my apartment (like where water pipes lead into the wall, or open spaces behind cabinets). These tablets are a powerful attractant to roaches, but they cannot digest the boric acid in them, so it kills them. Since they are disgusting little cannibals, the live ones find and eat the dead ones, and it kills them too.-Dusted key areas in my apartment with diatomaceous earth, like under fridge, under/behind stove, behind cabinets, etc. (Basically anywhere roaches might go, but my pets can't reach). I also dusted the stairs and bare floor areas of the hallway. (Diatomite is basically microscopic glass shards, fairly innocuous to humans and pets, but deadly on contact to bugs. It shreds the soft joints of insects exoskeleton, and dessicates them at the same time).At first I was seeing more of them, as they were drawn to the bait tablets, but some of them were already dying from the poison. After about 2 weeks, I only say a few baby ones. It's been about 3 months since I did all this, and It's been about 2 months since I have seen a roach... at all.
Worked fine for us. Happy with purchase.

Worst Product Waste of Money
If there were a rating less than 1 star the product deserves it . This is the worst product to get rid of Cockroaches, The seller should refund the money. It is a waste of Buyers money. No body should buy it. Not at all effective, rather you will notice increase in the number of cockroaches. If
Not worth to money.
I have been using it for almost a month in Japan. I hardly find roaches are dying after eating tablets. I even tried to crush tablets(almost used entire box) so that they can consume easily. But seems it’s just a good dinner product for them. After seeing couple of positive reviews I thought to buy, but it seems this product is geographic oriented.
