If you are worried about cockroaches, be careful not to be too enthusiastic in your attempt to get rid of them:

Cokcroach bombs resposnsible for explosion

36 of them!!! :scared:

Heard about this on the news, though not about the bombs!

This is the third explosion in a few days.
First was in a block of flats, reason still unknown, they suspect foul play.
Then yesterday(?) a guy was killed when a vat of molten metal(?) exploded in a factory here in Perth somewhere.

West Australian Police said around 36 of the devices... were set throughout the building.
WTF! They had serious roach problems!

PML. Its meant to be 1 or 2 bombs per room. Turn all lights and electrical equipment off and leave the house for a few hours. Then go back in and clear the air before turning anything on. Then hoover up the carnage and wipe the poison off all surfaces where food is prepared.

Those "Cockroach Bombs" do have instructions warning of the danger of explosions.

It does say shut off all electrical appliances, gas pilot lights etc, as a build up of explosive gases can occur. Very little danger with 1 or 2 bombs, but still enough to warn the average householder to turn off Fridges etc. But with 36 off them !!!
