Roach Barrier Question

[bkelley02]

What does roach barrier look like when applied to tubs?

Reason I'm asking is that I bought some about 6-7 months ago but never used it. I am setting up a new tub/colony and wanted a bit of extra insurance but it looks like dried soap to me when it dries. Is that what it's suppose to look like?

Any help or pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

just make some roaches scury up the wall, and if it works... yay, and if it doesn't...no?

Vasalline woks fine...they can't get past it. If it dries...it must be soaplike almost like liquid powder or something.

OK. It must be correct then, just expected it to be clear. Don't really want to try the 'Scurry up the side' test as my wife is freaked out that they're in the house to begin with. Escapees are not allowed!

haha just extra protien if she happens to find them in her lettuce (jk they will probably die off depending where you live....probably.)

what kind of "barrier" did you use?

I use this:

And it is awesome it even works for Hissers and petroleum jelly sucks compaired to it. It does leave a white film but that is the non-stick part plus you can tell where you have applied it.

I'm not sure. I bought it from Blarebus.com.

It's milky looking liquid you apply with a sponge.

I'll check that link out.
