Can Combat kill dogs?
A Concealed Danger. As you may have realized yourself in the previous section, it is nearly impossible for a dog to become poisoned by either the Fipronil or Hydramethylnon content of a single Combat bait station. Even if it somehow eats multiple traps, there will likely be very minimal side effects.

Is the Combat Roach killing bait strip dangerous?
Adhesive strip doesn’t stick. Also really hard to pull off the strip that ‘activates’ the strip, and when you do get it off you get the poison all over your hands. What’s more you can’t use gloves as the whole thing is so fiddly and hard to get open. So this is a dangerous product. Purchased in February 2021 at Woolworths for $10.00.

Where to put Roach bait in the House?
Place the bait stations in areas where the dogs cannot get to, but roaches can. For example, under the sink is a good place – if the bottom of the sink is enclosed in a cupboard. Get down on your hands and knees to get a dog’s eye view of where things are. This will help you see where your dog can wriggle into when everyone’s back is turned.
What kind of poison is used to kill roaches?
