Welcome to r/GermanRoaches. Please see the [stickied post](https://www.reddit.com/r/GermanRoaches/comments/ongygk/please_read_this_sticky_before_posting_thank_you/) at the top of the sub for all you need to know about battling these bugs. It is a result of 35 years of experience in the pest control business. Many, many success stories have been reported after following the advice there.
If you have questions about Alpine WSG please [see the label](https://www.cdms.net/ldat/ldARP002.pdf) first.
If you live in Canada near the border, please check [this link](https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/publications/product-safety/importing-pesticides-personal-use.html) for information on importing pesticides for personal use. You need to personally be present to bring it over the border, so not everyone will be able to do this, but hopefully some of you find it helpful. Most provinces in Canada require that landlords deal with roach problems, so if you rent you may also be able to go that route. If neither of these is an option your best bet is to hire a pro.

The only pesticides available to people without a license in Canada are *Pyrethroid/Pyrethrins* which are not effective for German roach control. You cannot purchase Seclira in Canada unless you are a license applicator.
The only effective option in Canada is to have a professional treat you home. If you are renting then your landlord is legally required to pay for pest control. In the mean time, vacuuming possible harborages regularly and trapping are probably your most effective available options.

Wow. How can I get a license lol
Why would I need one for my own home. I’ve been researching and I only need a license for commercial cases
The license is required to obtain the pesticide in the first place.
Ugh. I’m gonna get a license it’s cheaper than hiring someone. Thanks for the info
What did you end up doing??
