The story
Talent Nozomi Tsuji (39) revealed on her YouTube channel that her home has been overrun by cockroaches. The confession came right after she talked about her fifth child, little Yumeku, turning one year old, with Tsuji sighing that there are “an insane number of them.” On 5ch, threads lit up with theories about entry points — air conditioner drain hoses and the soil in potted plants — plus heated debates over which pest-control product works better, Black Cap or Mu-ender, with some posters even weighing in on the differences between German cockroaches and smoky-brown/black cockroaches.
Nozomi Tsuji wry-laughs over a “G” infestation at home: “There are so many of them… though thankfully not the huge kind” (“G” is a common Japanese euphemism for cockroach)
Talent Nozomi Tsuji (39) updated her YouTube channel by the 13th, with a segment where she griped about a cockroach infestation at her home.
That same day marked her fifth child, little Yumeku’s, first birthday. She expressed her surprise: “She’d been crying every single day for about the past week to ten days, but yesterday she didn’t cry! The moment she turned one, she just stopped crying!”

What people said
The small ones don't even give it a second look.
Once they build a nest somewhere out of sight, it's completely out of your hands.
Mine are all small ones.
I've got Black Cap traps everywhere and it's doing absolutely nothing.
A roach that eats the Black Cap poison heads back to the nest and dies there.
Then the other roaches eat that poisoned corpse and die too — it's a chain reaction.
Eventually you'll get a masked palm civet wandering in too (a raccoon-like animal common in Japan).
I've dropped a ton of Black Cap but still haven't wiped them out.
Also the one Koji Yamamoto advertises.
First time in my life I've ever heard that name. Stop starting self-promo threads for some talent.
I've caught over 100 with roach traps this year alone…
so does that mean there are over 5,000 of them?
Replacing them once every 3 years is plenty.
German cockroaches are the ones that show up wherever there's food lying around or it's unsanitary.
Once German cockroaches take hold, that's it — there are hundreds of them.
Black cockroaches are basically solitary, so they look gross, but in most cases killing that one is the end of it.
lol
Why are you doing that in a park?
It's not even hot this year, is it?
Don't underestimate how hot it gets south of the Tokai region.
Just hire a renovation contractor and have them do a thorough extermination.
Guess it's just that time of year.
He says it all cool and collected, but he was probably scared out of his mind, lol
Guess it's Mu-ender's time now.
If you're using boric-acid-ball type products, try rotating between different manufacturers' versions, and if that still doesn't work, switch to Mu-ender…
There's a product called Kobae Mu-ender made specifically for fruit flies.
For fruit flies, those electric zapper things work pretty well.
Though they don't do anything against mosquitoes, lol
Background and Talking Points
Black Cap and Mu-ender are both bait-style products laced with insecticide: a roach that eats the bait returns to the nest and dies there, and other roaches that then feed on the poisoned corpse die too, letting the effect spread gradually through the colony — a mechanism some posters in the thread pointed out themselves. Opinions split over whether the products’ effectiveness is fading: some say they’ve used them for years and they still work, while others noted they’re effective on the larger black cockroaches but struggle against German cockroaches, which breed in large colonies. The disagreement over “it’s hot this year” versus “it’s not that hot” also came down to regional differences, like whether you live south of the Tokai region. Worth remembering: entry points like air conditioner drain hoses and the soil of potted plants are easy to overlook.
