Brought roaches home from work?
Question:I had a couple "hichhikers" come home with me from work and can't get rid of them!! I've found something called "Gentrol" that is supposed to stop the growth cycle. But the real problem is that their in my xBox and PS2 and there is no way to get the consoles open to get the stupid things out!! What do I do? Besides get rid of the consoles?
Answers:
Try to contact Microsoft who make the xbox. If you open the xbox yourself you will be responsible, ask if they have a outlet where you can bring it, have them open it and clean it out. GL getting rid of those nasty creatures. =)
You can place some combat roach baits near the consoles. The roaches will eat the bait, take back to others and when it dies the others will eat it and die as well.
I had lived in an apartment and when I moved I took some roaches to my house with the microwave. I placed the baits near the microwave and I have not seen one roach in 3 years.
Act quickly to eradicate the roaches from your home.
American Cockroach Females produce many egg capsules, having 14-16 eggs hatching in 50-55 days while the Smoky Brown Females lay a dark brown capsule that contains 24 eggs, hatching in one to two months.
Look here and find the type of roach you have and ways to exterminate them:

If you can't do it yourself, call in a professional or you'll be quickly overrun with the little buggers.

Hey Princess...do you think we're stupid?
PLEASE READ YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION AGAIN...
nowhere do you say "dead carcasses"...what you do call them are "hitchhikers".ergo, "not dead".
and now with your added comments you explain that they are dead.
Frankly, I hope before they died they left a thousand roach eggs and each one capable of hatching 100 baby roaches each.now what do you think about that?
Buy boric acid. Sprinkle it where no pets can get it (between cracks, behind things. It will kill the roaches that crawl through it.
Hey Princess, people here are trying to help you. Reread your original question, no mention of DEAD roaches.
on the bottom of both consoles there is small screws that you can take out so you can disassemble your xbox or ps2...my sons have both and have took them apart to clean them ...you can do this easily...need very small jewelers screwdriver sets...these are Phillips screws
hay princess theres no need in shouting ! if these little buggers are not affecting the way your X-box or ps2 is working why bother.
there dead don't worry about it there inside a counsel that you can't get to just don't thing about it if every thing is working , and beside where you work i want to make sure not to go in there
