We had a severe infestation of waterbugs (they are actually large
cockroaches). You didn't say if their were babies crawling around or pets
or anything, I didn't have any at the time, so this worked for me. I
bought Raid Max or Max Raid, I forget how they called it, and sprayed it all
around the floor under the edge of kitchen cabinets, under the sinks, behind
the toilet and sink in the bathroom and along the walls of the utility room
that separates the kitchen and bath. The wall behind the furnace and
water heater was an important wall because there is a drain there.
However, my pantry was on the other side of that wall! So, I removed my
food from it and sprayed behind them. I kept my food out for about a week,
which I spent taking every food I had out of boxes and putting in plastic so
that they couldn't get a crumb anywhere. I also refused to bring potatoes
in here for about year, that had been their breeding ground. I rewashed
everything that was in the bottom cabinets to make sure no spray was in
them. I had been spending nights making attacks on them, and they only
increased in number. When I found this Raid Max stuff, I really never
dreamed it would work that well. But after I sprayed it, every day when
we got up, there would be scads of them that had came out in the middle of
the floor to die. With 1 1/2 weeks they were all dead.
