That's a great link. I really like the Maxforce Gel they advertise. Check this quote out:

The unique action of Fipronil (the active ingredient in Maxforce Gel) makes it an ideal active ingredient for killing roaches. After consuming a lethal dose of bait, cockroaches return to their harborage where they excrete feces containing Fipronil. As other cockroaches consume the contaminated feces, they too receive a lethal dose. When the roaches die, other roaches may consume their carcass and die as well. Tests have documented that this can result in one cockroach causing the death of up to 44 other cockroaches. Our customers have reported seeing thousands of roaches die from one application of Maxforce Gel.

That is really messed up! They eat the shit of other cockroaches? They eat the dead carcasses of dead cockroaches?? And yet, we're so repugnant to them that they flee in terror and wash themselves vigorously after we touch them? WTF??

Still.. I like that stuff. It sounds very effective.
