What is pest control for cockroaches?

cockroaches are pests that are primarily found in homes with garbage disposals. They adapt to various living conditions in a short time; they are especially attracted to places with high humidity. In case of a very strong phase of infection of the premises, professional disinfestation of cockroaches is recommended, since widespread aerosols and folk remedies for autonomous use cannot give a positive result.

Very important to know! These insects hide during the day and come out at night to feed on your food and its waste, as a result of which they leave a heavy odor and characteristic traces of their activity. They lay eggs, from which very soon new countless colonies of domestic parasites appear, which always activates discontent. In addition, cockroaches quite often become causative agents of acute intestinal diseases, tuberculosis and dysentery.

How is disinfestation carried out?

It is advisable to carry out professional treatment against cockroaches in the following situations:

• with an impressive number of cockroaches in the apartment;
• if necessary, disinfection of several rooms (food block);
• when controlling pests, which is of a coordinated nature (dormitory or apartment building).

All insect extermination measures can be relatively divided into 3 stages, and we will analyze each of them in as much detail as possible.

Preparing the premises

To prepare for bullying, you need to do the following:

• All food products should be removed from the premises where sanitation against cockroaches will be carried out;
• close all ventilation hatches that lead into your home with grilles – this will prevent the movement of parasites from neighboring rooms;
• If possible, remove all utensils or, after disinfestation, thoroughly wash them with detergents;
• if there are cracks, they should be sealed using any method acceptable to you;
• The drainage system must be carefully inspected to ensure there are no gaps between the slab and the pipe.

Insect extermination process

Representatives of the pest control service use effective products to treat cockroaches in an apartment, which were initially certified and approved for use. The following insecticides can be used during work:

• pest control of cockroaches fine spray method – performed using fog generators;
• Gel-based preparations are the most effective and popular; they contain substances that attract insects;
• aerosol cans – wet disinsection using liquid preparations that are sprayed using special sprayers;
• powder forms of insecticides are used very rarely; such treatment involves the use of bulk substances.

Gel disinfestation is the most expensive method of control, but at the same time it has the greatest effect.

First of all, the kitchen and bathroom are subject to treatment, where special attention is paid to the space behind the washing surface, furniture, refrigerator, stove, as well as in the technical riser of the bathroom. The product is also applied to floors, cornices, trim, walls, baseboards throughout the room to prevent the migration of insects from nearby apartments.

Cleaning the premises after disinfestation

Before you start cleaning the apartment after the exterminator leaves, it must be thoroughly ventilated until the smell of the product completely disappears. After which the following activities should be carried out:

• prepare an alkaline detergent or make a 5% soda solution;
• wear eye protection glasses and rubber gloves;
• thoroughly wash work surfaces, tables and other places in contact with food;
• two days after treating the premises against cockroaches, you can wash the floors, but you should avoid washing off the insecticide from the baseboards.

Remember that furniture, walls and ceilings are not washed, since the product applied to them will take several weeks to act.

As a rule, exterminators come to the services when cockroaches are quite firmly established in the room. When owners observe several individuals of domestic cockroaches in a house or apartment, they most often first try to cope with them on their own. If your “guests” only recently discovered their presence, you should immediately start getting rid of them! Classic measures to combat parasites include chemical methods (the use of poisons), but there are also other factors that can repel cockroaches.

However, do not forget that it is quite problematic to completely destroy cockroaches without resorting to the help of professionals if their number is large. You will receive prompt and effective assistance from the special sanitary service workers. Inappropriate use of purchased products leads insects to become accustomed to poisons.
