You lived for yourself, lived, grief, as they say in our tales, you did not know until one fine day, though not from the stove, but from the closet, He did not crawl out. Yes, that same Chukovsky red and mustachioed TA-RA-KAN, but where there! The real cockroach. And not alone, but with comrades. And to consider these partners - not to count. How is it that you seem to be managing your household neatly, emptying the bin in time and washing the dishes, where did they come from?
Most likely, they came to visit you from the neighbors, or they were brought to you by those guests who have a sufficient number of these "little animals" at home. In time, you did not notice the new settlers, since they prefer to lead a nocturnal lifestyle, and here is the result - they have bred. Urgently need an effective remedy for cockroaches!
It is necessary, it is necessary, but which of them will be effective really, and not on an advertising poster? Cockroaches during the thousand-year coexistence with a man that just did not experience on themselves. And from almost all the trouble they emerged victorious. They say that in Russian villages they didn’t even fight with them, they just waited for winters, extinguished the stove, opened windows and doors and ... left home. Not for good, of course, somewhere for a day or two. The family lived with neighbors, and cockroaches at that time elementarily froze. It remained then to heat the hut, sweep out the insects and shelter in the house of neighbors, free from outsiders.
Of course, you can’t get a city apartment in the winter, but there are also folk remedies for cockroaches. With boric acid, for example. Drugs with it do not give an immediate effect, but they are reliable and tested for decades. But the cockroaches did not develop immunity to boric acid. The fact is that boric acid is not poison itself. Cockroaches from her do not die in terrible agony, banging in the air with their paws, like from Dichlorvos. The acid crystals are quite small and, getting together with food in the body of insects, erase the chitinous cover with their sharp edges. As a result, the insect begins to suffer from dehydration. And thirst for a cockroach is much worse than hunger. So remedies for cockroaches with boric acid do not kill them right on the spot. They force them to leave such an inhospitable apartment.
A reliable remedy for cockroaches is boric acid.
You can simply sprinkle powder on the baseboards and near the outlet of the water pipes. For people and pets, the powder is harmless, and cockroaches will certainly stumble on it. But this method is not very aesthetic. Few people like to endure powder sprinkled in all rooms for two weeks. And it is just how much it needs to be kept so that all cockroaches are guaranteed to leave your home. However, if you are going on vacation or to the country, then you can sprinkle powder at least throughout the apartment.
Another recipe for cockroaches with boric acid is balls. No, you do not need to accurately throw balls of poison into each cockroach. It is enough to mix one egg yolk with boric acid powder to a thick slurry state. From this slurry roll balls with a diameter of about a centimeter. Dry them and scatter them around all the places attractive for cockroaches. What places are considered attractive? Well, it's simple - near the bin, in kitchen cabinets and near the sink. In the bathroom and in the toilet, you can also often meet baleen enemies. If you have indoor plants, then pay attention to window sills. Now you just have to wait.
At first it will seem to you that there is no effect from the remedy for cockroaches with boric acid, that cockroaches both walked throughout the kitchen and walk. But tolerate at least a week, and you will see that every day they are becoming less and less. And one now really beautiful day you will remain in your apartment in splendid isolation. However, it is thought that you will not regret a single minute about such “neighbors”.
