What is a cockroach pest control?
Cockroaches are pests that most often live in houses with a chute. They adapt very quickly to different living conditions, in particular they are attracted to places with high humidity. With a strong degree of infection of the premises, professional disinfection from cockroaches is recommended, since folk remedies and widespread aerosols for independent use are not able to give a positive result.
It's important to know! These insects hide during the day and crawl out at night to eat your food and their waste, after which they leave an unpleasant odor and characteristic traces of their life. They lay eggs, from which soon numerous new colonies of domestic pests will appear, which always causes discontent. In addition, cockroaches often become causative agents of acute intestinal diseases, dysentery and tuberculosis.
How does pest control occur?
It is advisable to carry out professional treatment from cockroaches in the following cases:
- if necessary, disinfection of several rooms (food unit);
- with a large number of cockroaches in the apartment;
- in the case of pest control, which is agreed upon (apartment building or dormitory).
The entire process of extermination of insects can be conditionally divided into three stages, each of which we will consider in as much detail as possible.
Room preparation
To prepare for bullying, you must do the following:
- from the premises in which sanitation from cockroaches will be carried out, all food products should be taken out;
- if possible, remove all dishes or after disinsection thoroughly wash them with detergents;
- to close all ventilation hatches leading to your apartment with bars - this will prevent the migration of parasites from neighboring rooms;
- the drainage system should be carefully inspected for the absence of gaps between the pipe and the stove;
- if there are gaps, then they should be sealed by any method acceptable to you.
Insect killing process
For the treatment of cockroaches in the apartment, the representatives of the pest control service use effective means that have previously passed certification and have been approved for use. When working, the following insecticides can be used:
- gel-based preparations are the most popular and effective; they contain substances that attract insects;
Attention! Gel disinsection is the most expensive method of struggle, but at the same time produces the greatest effect.
- fine spraying - carried out using fog generators;
- powder forms of insecticides - are used very rarely, such processing involves the use of bulk substances;
- aerosol cans - wet disinsection using liquid preparations that are sprayed using special spray guns.
First of all, the bathroom and the kitchen are subject to processing, where special attention is paid to the space behind the washing surface, stove, refrigerator, furniture, as well as in the technical riser of the bathroom. The product is also applied to baseboards, walls, platbands, cornices, floors throughout the room to prevent the migration of insects from neighboring apartments.
Cleaning after disinfestation
Before you start cleaning the apartment after the disinsector leaves, it must be thoroughly ventilated until the smell of the drug disappears completely. Then you should carry out such events:
- make a 5% soda solution or prepare an alkaline detergent;
- wear rubber gloves and eye protection glasses;
- thoroughly wash tables, work surfaces and other places in contact with food;
Important! Remember that walls, ceilings and furniture are not washed away, as the product applied to them will last for several weeks.
- 2 days after processing the premises from cockroaches, you can wash the floors, but you should avoid washing off the insecticide from the baseboards.
Usually resort to the services of pest control when cockroaches are very firmly settled in the room. When the owners notice in the apartment or house several individuals of domestic cockroaches, they, as a rule, first try to cope with them on their own. If your "guests" have only recently discovered their presence, you should immediately begin to get rid of them! Traditional pest control measures include chemical methods (the use of poisons), but there are also other factors that can scare off cockroaches.

However remember to hold complete extermination of cockroaches without the help of professionals, it is quite problematic if their number is large. From the side of the employees of the special sanitary service you will receive prompt and effective assistance. And inept use of purchased products can lead to addiction of insects to poisons.
