How to remove cockroaches

For many housewives, the emergence of new "neighbors" - cockroaches, becomes a complete surprise. And it seems that the house is clean and tidy, the dishes are always clean, but active insects quickly populate the space. In the article we will tell you where cockroaches can appear and effective methods of dealing with them.

Where do cockroaches come from?

Despite the exemplary cleanliness, you noticed cockroaches in your apartment. But where could they come from?

Reasons for the appearance unpleasant insects:

• Neighbors. Seemingly well-groomed people can create all the conditions for these insects in their apartment. They can also bring new neighbors with them with things from the old dwelling.
• Score. Insects can hide in the folds of packages or lay eggs there. Thus, you automatically become the owner of cockroaches.
• Clothing. This mainly applies to shops that are located in the basement or next to a grocery store or bistro, cafes and other establishments.
• Postal parcel or parcel post. The supplier of the goods may accidentally pack with the products of these insects. Also, there are frequent cases of food delivery to the house with pests.
• Hotel or hotel. If you went on vacation or on a business trip, then it is quite possible to take insects with you. You will not even notice how the "barbel" will crawl into your suitcase and calmly transfer any road.
• Animals. It often happens that while walking a dog or cat, cockroaches cling to the animal's fur. This mainly applies to breeds with long hair.
• Trash can next to the house. By the end of summer, cockroaches should find a home for the winter. Therefore, they willingly run from trash containers into the house.
• Old and dilapidated houses. Everyone knows that the emergency dwelling is full of not only cockroaches, but also other insects. Therefore, in pursuit of food, they settle in a neighboring house.

You can also get insects with a gift or thing bought from your hands or at a flea market.

By the way, if you often buy products in closed markets, you can easily pick them up there too. Cockroaches disguise themselves well in nuts and dried fruits... Therefore, if you notice a cockroach in the room, stop shopping.

How to get rid of cockroaches in the house

It is extremely difficult to get rid of baleen insects, since the female lays a huge number of eggs.

Therefore, a set of measures is important here, and not only the help of dichlorvos:

• First, close all containers and jars of food. Put potatoes, onions, carrots and other vegetables in the refrigerator. In general, you should not have any food freely available to insects.
• Then inspect the crevices and baseboards for food crumbs. Vacuum and wash thoroughly with vinegar. The stronger the solution, the better. But do not forget about simple safety rules - wear a mask when working with toxic substances and gloves.
• Purchase a lid for the trash can. It should close tightly. Otherwise, cockroaches will be able to enter the bucket without much difficulty.
• Repair all leaking taps. Water is a source of strength for insects.
• Cover the ventilation with a tight mesh. With a strong desire, the cockroach will not be able to get through it to you.
• Deep gaps in the seams of the house. Basically, this problem is in old apartments. The gap must be putty so that the migration of cockroaches from neighbors stops once and for all.
• Use pesticides. It is necessary to process the whole house, including windows, balcony, front door, threshold.

Just do not overdo it with chemicals, so as not to get poisoned. After cleaning, take a walk for about 30 minutes outside, and then ventilate the room.

An effective remedy for cockroaches

The market for the effective elimination of insects is oversaturated and it is rather difficult to choose any one remedy. Also, you need to take into account the situation about the number of cockroaches. The more there are, the more serious the drug should be.

Therefore, if you have a large population of "mustachioed neighbors", then you can safely apply a set of measures from gel traps and sprays.

The gel has a pleasant smell for cockroaches and they willingly eat it. Poison enters the digestive tract and the individual dies. The result comes in 30-60 minutes. But not all cockroaches can eat the bait, so we use an aerosol. The insect cannot live without air, but it will have to breathe, and then death overtakes them.

If “scouts-signalmen” appear in the apartment, then you can use a sticky trap. It is a sticky surface 30 * 30 cm in size. The cockroach runs over the sheet and sticks.

We will warn you that the funds allegedly with a sound repeller do not work. This is a gimmick that scammers sell for a lot of money.

You can also contact a specialist in the field of pest control. It is advisable for all neighbors to get involved in this matter and order processing at home. So you will reliably protect yourself from unwanted animals.
