This is the very best product for reducing roaches. We had a professional come to the house and until I used this product we couldn't get rid of the roaches. They are the most effective if you take the light switches off of the wall and drop them in the space so they drop down into the wall. We have used this product for years and it is great. They really work!!

I have used Harris Famous Roach Tablet products for years and find them to be most effective. In addition, I have recommended them to countless friends and neighbors, all with stellar results. If anyone is dissatisfied with the results, they must be using them incorrectly or expecting them to work on insects other than roaches. For me, this is the ultimate, perfect product. Place them around all entrances to your home and various locations around the kitchen and bath. They are safe for pets and children, too. If you keep a close watch on the tablets from day to day, you will see that small bits of them are gone. Take a close look, around the edges and you will notice the tablet losing its shape due to erosion by roaches nibbling at them. The substance is picked up by the roach and taken to its nest, where the whole roach family partakes. Before long, no more roaches. And they stay gone for years -- as long as you keep the tablets replenished. I highly recommend ALL of the Harris roach elimination products.

I just received these so I will update my review after I actually TRY them.. I have them out, but of course it takes time..

I did want to review it real quick & tell everyone that you get a LOT of tablets in this box.. I was SO worried I would receive like 10 or something lol. But no the whole box is filled.. The box is a little shorter then my water bottle if that helps.. and it is filled to the top.

So rest assured that you WILL get a lot out of this.. I will update when I see results (or dont see? ) & I will also snap a picture real quick to show the amount in the box..

I have not noticed any difference with my roach problems. Roaches definitely nibbled on these tablets, but it did not hurt them at all.

I ordered this product 4 months ago. I was seeing roaches in the kitchen and in the filing cabinets. I put the tablets in cracks and other hard to reach areas all over the house and in the filing cabinets. You do need to be careful if you have children because the tablets look like white candy. At first, I did not notice much difference. After a few weeks, I never saw another roach in the filing cabinets. The kitchen area has improved a lot, but I do see a roach now and then. I did not give the tablets five stars because of that, but I am going to continue using them. I have not found another product as effective for the price. I only used about half the box, so I have been adding a tablet here in there when I see a roach.

Excellent product...No more roaches in my house... I love it, I even bought more for my neighbords, just in case they had that problem too. I had tried it all but this was the only product it really worked :-)

This does not work on german cockroaches. Might work on other roaches, but from my experience it wasn't worth it.

Received these tablets recently not for roaches but for a water bug problem. I followed the instructions on the box and these amazing tablets did the job, within a week - no more ugly water bugs. I recommend these tablets very highly. We have been trying to get rid of these critters for over a year. Thanks Amazon for a great product.

I was in the process of remodeling my kitchen and wanted a non-sticky type of cockroach bait/killer. Couldn't find it locally so looked on amazon. Found this Harris Roach tablets. It's easy to apply and not messy as it is in a pill form.

We purchased these roach tablets when we started seeing some roaches before bed and early in the morning (mostly adults). This is our first year in this apartment (which is only a 3 year old building), so we were uncertain as to whether this was a symptom of the roaches migrating to warmer climes, or whether we were experiencing the first stages of an infestation. I ordered these to ensure that the former didn't develop into the latter.

When they arrived they were in a bubblewrap-lined manilla envelope. The box is pretty small, with maybe 200 tabs in it. Plenty for any situation that shouldn't be professionally handled. The box and the inside of the envelope was covered in powder from the tablets. I had to take it outside and dump the envelope in the dumpster and ziploc bagged the box to contain any further dust exposure. Our biggest concern with these is their safety for our rabbit. Just like with cats rabbits lick themselves clean. If the boric acid is ingested or inhaled it will destroy the kidneys of any animal or person. Be care with this stuff, it is NOT animal or kid safe in unsafe conditions. I purchased these tablets instead of straight up boric acid because in theory the tablets are easier to work with and nowhere near as messy. It appears most of the tablets arrived in one piece, but just kicked up a lot of dust.

I then proceeded to place these all over the kitchen and bathroom (the two places we have seen roaches, and the only two places our rabbit won't go - due to the linoleum). For maximum effectiveness place these in corners on the counter, on the floor, in cabinets, behind things, underneath appliances, etc. Roaches tend to live in tight spaces so place these wherever cracks between baseboards or cabinets can be found.

After about three weeks we've seen a sharp decline in the roach population. I haven't been looking as hard this week, but I haven't seen one yet. I am dubious as to the cause of the population decline, however. My girlfriend has been doing very thorough cleaning of the kitchen and bathroom, sweeping, mopping, and cleaning the dishes promptly while I have been killing them whenever I see them. We never had a population large enough to really notice any erosion from eating the tablets, and I haven't found any roach corpses lying around.

My conclusion is that our cleaning and vigorous murdering have likely killed the population rather than the tablets, but they should do what they describe. If any roach eats from a tablet the boric acid will kill it. The tablets are the safest way to handle boric acid in your home. Far and above these are safer than using the Raid egg-stopper pesticide in a home with pets or children. My only concern is how effective is the bait formula of these tabs? Unfortunately I don't think I can answer that.

EDIT: Over a month later, we've still got the occasional roach. These have definitely NOT been 100% effective in eliminating the population. The best I can say is that they're keeping them to tolerable levels. Unfortunately we still haven't been able to pinpoint the root of the infestation (dirty neighbors, outside migration, etc.). It appears that a couple of the tablets have been eaten from, but I have no strong indicators as to the effectiveness of the tablets. We continue to see roaches in areas laced with tablets, however that is at least some proof that the roaches WILL eat these tabs. Chemistry and biology tell me that they won't survive it, though. I still recommend trying these tablets, however. It certainly can't hurt (they're pretty cheap).
