Bug Bombs Don’t Get Rid of Bugs, Study Suggests

For at least one pest, the common German cockroach (Blattella germanica), bombs don’t work, says the study, but baits do. Scientists set off four kinds of bombs and placed two kinds of baits in 30 infested homes in Raleigh. As for bombs, the researchers call them “inappropriate” for home pest control, going so far as to question whether they should still be sold for this use.
