The most effective DIY cockroach control uses gel bait (like Advion or Maxforce) combined with an insect growth regulator (IGR). Apply gel bait in small dots inside cabinets, under sinks, and along walls. Avoid spraying near the bait. Repeat every 30 days. See our full Cockroach Control Guide .
For subterranean termites, perimeter bait stations and borate wood treatments on accessible bare wood are the most practical DIY options. A continuous liquid barrier around the foundation requires professional equipment. See our full Termite Control Guide .
Most US scorpion stings are similar to a bee sting. The Arizona bark scorpion in AZ and NM is the only US species capable of causing severe illness. Use our Scorpion ZIP Code Risk Checker to find out if dangerous scorpions are in your area.
Call a pro for active structural termite infestations, bed bugs in multiple rooms, large stinging insect nests near occupied areas, or when DIY treatments have repeatedly failed. See our When to Call a Pro guide .
Never pour pesticides down the drain or in regular trash. Use our Pesticide Disposal Locator to find a household hazardous waste (HHW) facility near you. Keep pesticides in their original labeled containers until disposal.
