Is the powder not also toxic to your health? Do you know it's ingredients?

Some of powder may float in air like dust and could be inhaled.
Also unless it kills the roaches immediately on contact, roaches will spread the toxin around the house and even to any food that's not properly covered.

Best option is cleaning and denying them water.

yes i prefer this than spraying chemicals everywhere that will kill the cockroach and kill you too. That powder is a godsend...

sprays, camphors and all that stuff have a lot of cancer-causing agents and chemicals that do some nerve damage

Cockroaches are naturally home inhabitants, whether you clean up or not doesn't mean much. Even in Aso rock there must be cockroaches .

Thats why I pour the powder into a small container, leave the cover slightly ajar and then place it in a corner where the cockroaches are.

I browsed the ingredients of that greenleaf before opening it and it has a low toxicity for humans

All this stuff is harmful sha but we have to manage them, those things are too disgusting for words. Cleaning doesnt seem to be enough

Buy Green Leaf powder and pour it everywhere. It is 50naira per sachet and works like MAGIC.

Cockroaches like playing dead angry
.. I think rats have picked up this trait.

I hit a rat with broom very hard, it fell and was shaking on the ground like it was having a seizure..



It stopped shaking and laid there lifeless.. Left it there and went to do something. Came back and saw this rat trying to escape like this first..

In my mind I be like so this rat they deceive me sha.

I totally agree. I have tried sprays almost everything in the past but when I tried the green leaf powder... abrakadabra it works like magic no smell no stress. You will see dead roaches and after a while you will wonder where they all went to.

Its the most effective I have tried.


Where especially can one buy it from?

Mama sukura for my area fit dey look say which one be green powder.

I never found the cure for those giant mutant cockroaches that wander in from the bush...one night I was sleeping and heard an incredible noise coming from my sink...thought it was a rat...it was actually a huge cockroach scrabbling around before it died...wonder why it came into my room to die...sad

even if you spray it or beat it with broom/slipper it will revive after a few hours....like something from jurassic park...

That's a vamproach.

Roaches are worldwide. From USA to Europe, from Asia to Africa. They have been around since the age of dinoseurs. It is believed that even if the world is destroyed by nuclear weapon, roaches would survive.

Use Sniper mixed with kerosene, very effective
How do you administer?
Re: 5 Ways To Get Rid Of Cockroaches At Home by omoadeleye(m): 7:53pm On Sep 21, 2019
PreyingMantis:

Just an half bottle of kerosene then pour like two or three bottle cap of sniper juice inside in the kerosene, then shake the bottle of the mixture, then you can now spray it around, make sure anything relating to food intake is secured, then close the door and windows, and leave for three or how many hours you want... That's a sure genocide for any pest around.

I really really hate that thing.

It's because of the way we build our drainage. They live and multiply there.


I haven't seen one roach even tiny one since I left the country which convinced me that our drainage system breeds them.

You made a very nice point but I would like to ask If U've seen the Soakaway of some houses Cheiiii. I almost threw up a day I saw a House Soakaways filled with Hundreds of Cockroaches ahhhh!!!! They were having Fun like Bees!!! I was like Eeeei.....And people are living In this Compound. Nigeria Is a very Terrible place on Earth.
