How to treat roaches in your dishwasher 

Wow. Thanks for all the info on how hopeless this situation is. Came to find out how to eliminate roaches in the dishwasher.. found out that’s Basically impossible..plus your entire kitchen is a roach’s playground, you can’t get to all the cracks & crevices so just burn it down. I hate living in Florida 😱😭

I mostly heard " this is what you could do but it probably won't work."

One useful concept here is that the appliances form the habitat. I'm going to pull my dishwasher and isolate it with calk and plastic in a way that roaches cannot reach it. Plus I'll use boric acid and bait. I have steel wool and expandable foam to fill gaps as needed. Then I'll work on other appliances in the same way. By the way, I run my dishwasher once or even twice a day on the quick setting so I do not have food in there overnight. And no bugs inside. My guess is that some people have a restaurant open 24/7 in their dishwater and that the roaches are getting past the gasket.

I actually appreciated this video. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

I have found that you will never eliminate an infestation in one hit. As you know, the orthacae is almost bullet proof. Regardless of what you throw at the egg sac, it will survive. Obviously a sz12 shoe has an impact but you know what i mean :). I get great success with my first visit consisting of flushing gaps/cracks & hot spots w a pyrethrum based aerosol. This will agitate them so they run around and die/pick them up with a sticky board etc. Then apply dust in voids, holes in walls, behind h/w cylinders, ceiling voids etc. Next visit two weeks later should consist of chasing nymphs only if your first treatment was effective. I flush again to achieve a kill rate & show where the harborage is, then treat with dust or spray depending on location. I have found that a good blast of flush puts up a good mist of product which gets around corners within walls etc and really penetrates the harbor sites. If the infestation is heavy i will conduct a 3rd visit but 2 should be suffice if your thorough. How does that sound with your experience?

You wasted over 4 minutes of our time telling us what doesn't work. Why bother making a video if you're not going to give us anything that helps?

Good idea

Nice video. I watched and called a pro. German roaches virtually gone. He said he used gel plus a fogger to drive out the roaches...but the fogger left a film inside DW. I wiped it all out but it seemed to redistribute again. It isn't the water, I have County water. Looks heavy by the vent.

pull the unit out and get your head in the cavity and then plug up the holes from the kitchen installers. I still never took the entire diishasher out to the center of the floor. :) thanks for getting into it with me.

What about when I see roaches actually inside the chamber of the dishwasher? How are they surviving inside with hot water and heat drying? Do i need to get rid of the dishwasher and get a new one? This is the only place we see roaches ever in our entire house.

Worst mistake I ever did was get a fucking dishwasher. Before that i hadnt seen roaches in decades. I hate this shit

we have a dishwasher that was broke for a while and roaches started coming from there, thats where they are mostly and our dishwasher is working again. what should we do?

Im just looking for a way to get them out of my portible dishwasher but, no help here!

great video! Thanks!

Thank you I need that

What about when they're inside your dishwasher?

Tell me about inside dishwasher not outside please

Our roaches are INSIDE the panel of the door. I see them scurrying into the lock opening. How do I get them out of that section? The seal is tight all around the dishwasher (it’s portable) so they can’t get inside the washer itself. It’s the door panel. Help!

well. taught me nothing. I'm a single female, I can't pull out a dishwasher! I guess I'm back to my old source....wash the dishwasher on a short wash, then load it. I could also bait it when there's nothing in it

And the answer is....but it probably won't work

What about portable dishwasher? Other sites only wanted to sell me too expensive products.

Foggers work for those hard to reach spots

I'm confused 😕😕

Haha hahahahai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh goodness!!!!! You never said what works!!! Oh gosh! Thanks for the info though!

The are so many cockroaches in my dad's kitchen and we've been trying forever to get rid of it. My dad wont do much about them, so I'm always Googling and going on RU-vid to find out a way to get rid of it. My dad always moans about the Cockroaches but Barley does something about it. Does someone know the best way to get rid of the Cockroaches in the kitchen?

this was slightly not helpful. thanks.

Wasted my time. I was looking for a useful how to for killing roaches in & around the d/w.

this video told me nothing

what a waste of time. Always good to know what the problem is (I already knew that) What do I do to get rid of them. I would never hire this guy, he obviously knows what won't work. This is an advertisement nothing more.

Lots of talk no help

Sucked

You didn’t tell us what works! Useless!!
